Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this Aluminum 6061 stock sheet offers a nominal thickness of 0.096 inches, a length of 32 inches, and a width of 26 inches. The 6061 alloy is characterized by its excellent corrosion resistance, good strength-to-weight ratio, and moderate to high mechanical properties. This makes it ideal for fabricating components within lubricating systems, such as reservoirs, baffles, or support structures that require a balance of rigidity and resistance to operational fluids and environmental factors. Its machinability also facilitates the creation of precise interfaces and complex geometries.
