Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this Aluminum 6061 stock sheet measures 0.528 inches in thickness, 30 inches in length, and 16 inches in width. Composed of a precipitation-hardened aluminum alloy, it exhibits excellent mechanical properties, including a high tensile strength (approx. 45 ksi) and yield strength (approx. 40 ksi), along with good corrosion resistance, especially in marine and industrial atmospheres. This makes it an ideal choice for load-bearing structures, custom framework, and bracing systems where structural integrity under stress is paramount. Its machinability and weldability further enhance its versatility in fabricated components.
