Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 0.632" thick Aluminum 6061 stock sheet offers exceptional flatness and dimensional stability. Composed primarily of aluminum with magnesium and silicon alloying elements, it provides a tensile strength of approximately 45 ksi and a yield strength of 40 ksi, ensuring structural integrity under load. The material's inherent corrosion resistance, particularly in atmospheric and mild marine environments, makes it suitable for extended service life in fluid handling systems. The specified dimensions of 47" length and 13" width are nominal, with tight tolerances ensuring consistent performance in fabricated filtration components.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper cleaning of surfaces prior to installation.Thoroughly clean both the sheet and mating surfaces with a degreaser and lint-free cloths to ensure optimal contact and prevent contamination.
Using fasteners not compatible with Aluminum 6061, leading to galvanic corrosion.Utilize fasteners made from compatible materials such as stainless steel (300 series) or aluminum alloys of similar electrochemical potential. Apply appropriate isolation compounds if necessary.

Common Applications

  • Industrial Filter Housings
  • Separator Components
  • Process Fluid Containment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposing Aluminum 6061 to strong alkaline or acidic environments, as this can lead to premature corrosion.
  • When welding, ensure proper pre-cleaning and filler material selection to maintain structural integrity and corrosion resistance.
