Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 0.052" thick Aluminum 6061 stock sheet measures 36" in length and 47" in width. Composed of a precipitation-hardened aluminum alloy, 6061 offers a superior combination of strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance. Its moderate strength makes it suitable for components within lubricating systems where moderate loads are encountered, such as small bearing housings, fluid guides, or protective covers. The alloy's excellent formability allows for intricate shapes, facilitating custom lubrication system designs.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong alloy for the specific lubricating environment.Select Aluminum 6061 for its balanced corrosion resistance, suitable for most common lubricating fluids. Consult material compatibility charts for extreme conditions.
Improper edge finishing leading to fluid leakage.Ensure all cut edges are deburred and, if necessary, sealed to prevent any loss of lubricating fluid.

Common Applications

  • Lubricant reservoirs
  • Fluid transfer channels
  • Protective covers for lubrication components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure compatibility with the specific lubricant being used.
