Alcoa Global Cold Finished Products ALLOY 6061 Understanding Cold Finished Aluminum Alloys Alloy 6061, a cold finished aluminum wrought product, is Machining suggested for applications requiring high corrosion Alloy 6061 offers adequate machinability when resistance. This general purpose alloy has excellent machined using single-point or multi-spindle carbide corrosion resistance to atmospheric conditions and good tools on screw machines. Chips from machining may be corrosion resistance to sea water. Susceptibility to stress- difficult to break so chip breakers and special machining corrosion cracking and exfoliation is practically non- techniques (i.e. peck drilling) are recommended to existent. improve chip formation. The alloy is rated “C” on the Cold finished alloy 6061 offers relatively high strength Aluminum Association machinability rating system, and excellent joining characteristics. (Caution: direct giving continuous chips and good surface finish. contact by dissimilar metals can cause galvanic Extremely fine finishes in the 5 to 10 microinch range corrosion; proper protection must be taken with regard to can be achieved using diamond tooling. the dissimilar metal.) Typical applications include electrical fittings and Joining connectors, decorative and miscellaneous hardware, Alloy 6061 is easily welded and joined by various hydraulic couplings, brake parts and valve bodies and commercial methods. Since 6061 is a heat-treatable components for commercial, industrial, automoti
