6061-T651

6061 Aluminum is a high-quality aluminum alloy with good thermal conductivity and is available hot rolled, heat treated and stress relieved by controlled stretching.  The property profile makes this material ideal for prototype tooling and short run production.

Product Features:

  • Easy machinability.
  • Light weight, only 1/3 the weight of steel.
  • Five times the thermal conductivity of steel.
  • Good dimensional stability.
  • Readily weldable with proper procedure.

Applications:

  • General applications
  • Plastics Tooling
  • Prototype tooling
  • Short run production tools
