Detailed Engineering Specifications

A high-performance industrial component, this Aluminum 6061 stock sheet (0.688" thickness, 17" length, 28" width) is a cornerstone for robust pneumatic system construction. Aluminum 6061, a precipitation-hardened alloy, provides an optimal balance of strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for components subjected to moderate pressures and environmental exposure. Its specific temper (typically T6) ensures excellent structural integrity and machinability for custom fittings, housings, and structural elements within pneumatic machinery, actuator assemblies, and control manifolds.
