6061 (UNS A96061) is an aluminum bar with cold finished or extruded aluminum wrought product with excellent corrosion resistance, good workability, fabulous joining characteristics and adequate machinability. 6061 is one of the most widely used heat treatable aluminum alloys. It has excellent corrosion resistance, good workability, fabulous joining characteristics, and adequate machinability. Stamping, bending, and deep drawing are easily accomplished. Commonly used in marine and truck components, railroad cars, pipelines, and furniture. Aluminum bar grade 6061 is the most commonly used and among the most versatile of all aluminum alloys. Known for its strength, workability, corrosion resistance and ease of joining, aluminum bar grade 6061 is in use across a wide variety of industries and applications. Its machinability is not as strong as in the 2000 series. When extruded, 6061 square bar is easily cut, welded, and machined for many uses demanding high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. In fact, most extruded round items of this grade are specially ordered to restricted diameter tolerances for ready use in screw machines.
