6061 Aluminium Sheet
Aluminium 6061 Sheet is a precipitation-hardened aluminium alloy, containing magnesium and silicon as its major alloying elements. Originally called “Alloy 61S”, it was developed in 1935.
6061 Aluminium Sheet is a medium to high strength heat-treatable alloy with a strength higher than 6005A. ASTM B209 6061 Aluminium Sheet has very good corrosion resistance and very good weldability although reduced strength in the weld zone. It has medium fatigue strength. It has good cold formability in the temper T4, but limited formability in T6 temper. Not suitable for very complex cross sections.

Aluminum Alloy Heat Treatment Temper Designations
Basic Aluminum Heat Treatment Designations
- F As Fabricated
- O Annealed
- H Strain Hardened
- W Solution Heat Treated
- T Solution Heat Treated
Heat Treating T Temper Codes
- T1 – Cooled from an elevated temperature shaping process and naturally aged to a substantially stable condition.
- T2 – Cooled from an elevated temperature shaping process, cold worked, and naturally aged to a substantially stable condition.
- T3 – Solution heat treated, cold worked, and naturally aged to a substantially stable condition.
- T4 – Solution heat treated, and naturally aged to a substantially stable condition.
- T5 – Cooled from an elevated temperature shaping process then artificially aged.
- T6 – Solution heat treated then artificially aged.
- T7 – Solution heat treated then overaged/stabilized.
- T8 – Solution heat treated, cold worked, then artificially aged.
- T9 – Solution heat treated, artificially aged, then cold worked.
- T10 – Cooled from an elevated temperature shaping process, cold worked, then artificially aged.
Additional digits may be used after the first T temper digit to indicate subsequent stress relieving by processes such as stretching, compressing, or a combination.
H Temper Strain Hardening Codes
- H1 – Strain hardened only
- H2 – Strain hardened and partially annealed
- H3 – Strain hardened and stabilized
- H4 – Strain hardened and lacquered or painted. This assumes that thermal affects from the coating process affect the strain hardening; seldom encountered.
