6061 aluminum coils is the most versatile of the heat treatable aluminum alloys. Though less strong than most of the 2xxx and 7xxx alloys, 6061 aluminum coil provides an extensive range of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance and can be fabricated by many of the commonly used practices. In the "O" temper or annealed condition, alloy 6061 aluminum coil has good formability. In the T4 condition, fairly severe forming can be done; whereas, in the T6 condition, properties may be obtained by artificial aging.

6061 aluminum coil application:
It’s common for 6061 aluminum coil to be used for structural components, worm gears, electrical connectors, electrical fittings, marine fittings and hardware, marine components and for heavy duty structures that need good resistance to corrosion and strength-to-weight ratio. When in the annealed state, this metal can be cold worked using a variety of standard methods. For instance, it can be deep drawn, stamped, drilled, tapped, cut and bent.
