6061 Extruded Round Pipe

6061 is a good, general purpose aluminum alloy with magnesium and silicon as its alloying elements. 6061 has the highest resistance to corrosion of all the heat treated aluminums, but strength is lower. 6061 has a wide range of mechanical properties and is readily machined and has good forming properties. 6061 welds easily, has excellent joining characteristics, and good acceptance to anodizing and other applied coatings. Electrical conductivity is 40% of copper. 6061 Pipe sizes under 1" are drawn and sizes over 1" are extruded

ANALYSIS

Note: trace elements of 0.005 are present totaling 0.15% of weight 6061 Extruded Tube and Pipe Conforms to ASTM B241, AMS 4173, AMS 4080, AMS 4082, AMS 4083, WW-T-700/6

APPLICATIONS

6061 pipe is commonly used for structural components, frames, machine parts, truck and marine components, marine fittings, electrical fittings and connectors, bike frames, railings, truck racks, etc. 6061 is used for heavy duty structures requiring good strength-to-weight ratio with good corrosion resistance. 6061 is easily cold worked and formed in the annealed condition. Cutting, stamping, bending, spinning, deep drawing, drilling, tapping, etc. are all readily accomplished using standard methods.
