About 6061 Aluminum Angle, Unpolished

The 6061 aluminum angle with equal leg length and rounded corners has an O temper, has an unpolished (mill) surface, meets American Society for Testing and Materials International ASTM B308 and SAE Aerospace Material Specifications AMS-QQ-A-200/8 standards, and has a standard tolerance. The 6061 aluminum alloy is a general-purpose material that combines good corrosion resistance, strength, machinability, and weldability. It resists stress corrosion cracking and is heat treatable. The 6061 aluminum has been annealed, a method of heating and cooling a material to modify its properties, such as increasing its formability and toughness or decreasing its strength, after it was shaped. The aluminum has a T6 temper, meaning it has been heat treated for increased strength.Aluminum and aluminum alloys are lightweight compared to steel, brass, and copper, and have high strength-to-weight ratios. They offer good corrosion resistance and conductivity of heat and electricity, as well as moderate formability and machinability. Aluminum alloys include elements that modify the aluminum to achieve specific properties such as better weldability or greater strength. All series of aluminum alloys are nonmagnetic. Aluminum alloys have temper designations, indicating that the material has undergone a process to achieve certain properties of strength and hardness.Tensile strength, used to indicate the material’s overall strength, is the peak stress it can withstand before it breaks. Corrosion resistance describes the material's ability to prevent deterioration caused by atmosphere, moisture, or other medium. Wear resistance indicates the ability to prevent surface damage caused by contact with other surfaces. Toughness describes the material's ability to absorb energy before breaking, while hardness (commonly measured as indentation hardness) describes its resistance to permanent surface deformation. Formability indicates how easily the material can be
