haomei 6061 T6 Aluminum Tread Plate

6061 T6 Aluminum tread plate is a heat treatable 6000 series aluminum alloy. It is an alloy that has been formed with silicon and magnesium. It is one of the most versatile alloys and offers a wide range of mechanical properties. It has a lower strength than other comparable aluminum, With medium to high strength, good toughness and a good surface finish, it maintains most of the good qualities of aluminum. Welded by all methods and can be furnace brazed. 6061 T6 aluminum tread plate has an ultimate tensile strength of at least 42,000 psi, yield strength of at least 35,000 psi and ultimate shear strength of 27,000 psi. It has an 8% elongation. 6061 T6 aluminum tread plate is commonly used for a wide range of products and applications including fishing reels, truck frames, structural components, machine parts, aircraft and aerospace components, marine fittings, camera lenses, transport, valves, couplings. It also has the capability to be used for heavy duty structures that need corrosion resistance and good weight-to-strength ratio.

This is only a few of the wide array of applications this alloy is used for. Hot treating and cold working can also be used for 6061 T6 aluminum tread plate When in the annealed state, cold working can be easily performed, creating an end product that is cut, stamped, drilled, deep drawn, bent or tapped. These can all be achieved using standard cold working methods.

The 6061 T6 aluminum tread plate has the highest corrosion resistance. but is still widely used. This is partly due to its corrosion resistance and partly due to its excellent mechanical properties. There are a variety of ways you can form 6061 T6 aluminum, such as through machining and welding. It also has great joining capabilities. If needed, this product can be anodized or have other coatings applied.

When heat treating 6061 T6 aluminum, thorough heating should be done at 990 degrees F, and then be water quenched. For precipitation hardening, the metal should be placed in 320 degrees F for 18 hours, air cooled, then placed in 350 degree F for eight hours, and then air cooled again.
