Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 0.679-inch thick Aluminum 6061 stock sheet offers a 21-inch length and 24-inch width. Composed of Aluminum Alloy 6061, it exhibits a tensile strength typically around 45 ksi and a yield strength of approximately 40 ksi, with a hardness of 90-95 on the Rockwell B scale. This makes it highly suitable for applications requiring a balance of good formability, weldability, and moderate to high strength. Its inherent corrosion resistance in common environments ensures durability for a wide range of industrial uses. Common applications include aerospace components, marine hardware, structural framing, and automotive parts.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper tool selection leading to rough cuts or material deformation.Use sharp, appropriate cutting blades designed for aluminum to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Failing to account for material expansion/contraction due to temperature changes during machining.Allow for slight tolerances during cutting and assembly to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Precision Machining Components
  • Structural Frames and Supports
  • Automotive and Aerospace Parts
  • Marine Hardware

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and cutting metal.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during any cutting or grinding operations to avoid inhaling metal dust.
