Precision CNC Machining for Aluminum 6061 Parts
Aluminum 6061 is one of the most versatile and widely used aluminum alloys. It offers an excellent balance of strength, corrosion resistance, machinability, and weldability. At Ranglink, we specialize in CNC machining of Aluminum 6061 for prototypes and production runs – from simple brackets to complex housings.
Key Properties of Aluminum 6061
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile strength | 310 MPa (typical) |
| Yield strength | 275 MPa |
| Hardness (Brinell) | 95 |
| Density | 2.70 g/cm³ |
| Thermal conductivity | 167 W/m·K |
| Corrosion resistance | Excellent |
| Machinability rating | Good (70-80% of free-cutting brass) |
| Weldability | Excellent (TIG, MIG, resistance) |
Why choose 6061? High strength-to-weight ratio, good fatigue resistance, easy to anodize/powder coat/polish, readily available in bars, plates, and extrusions.
