Applications for 6061-T6 Aluminum Forgings

Aluminum in its purest form is too soft and reactive to be of structural use. However, its alloys, such as 6061-T6 alloy, make it structurally stronger and more useful in the manufacturing of durable forgings.

6061-T6 aluminum properties make it a material of choice for boats and watercraft components because it’s strong and lightweight.

Other common applications of 6061-T6 aluminum forgings include bicycle frames, applications where heat transfer is required, such as heat exchangers, air coolers and heat-sinks, and applications where 6061-T6’s non-corrosive characteristics are important, such as water, air and hydraulic piping and tubing.
