Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 0.352" thick Aluminum 6061 stock sheet measures 20" in width and 29" in length. Alloy 6061 is a precipitation-hardened aluminum alloy, offering a good balance of strength, workability, and corrosion resistance, making it highly suitable for applications demanding structural integrity and environmental durability. Its electrical conductivity, while lower than copper, is sufficient for many non-critical conductive elements within electrical enclosures and lighting fixtures. This sheet's dimensional accuracy and material properties ensure seamless integration into fabrication processes, from cutting and bending to welding.
