6061 Aluminum Plate Sheets

6061 aluminum plate is very good for ship accessories because of several characteristics.

1.6061 aluminum plate is of low density and lighter than other materials. Therefore, the overall weight of the ship made of 6061 aluminum plate will be 15%-20% lighter than that of steel plate. In this way, fuel consumption will be greatly reduced and the speed will be faster.

2. The corrosion resistance of the aluminum plate is good. If the ship is in the wind and sun, the paint will definitely fall off if the ship is parked in the water or at sea all year round. The use of aluminum can reduce the frequency of maintenance.

3. Good welding performance, which side of the ship has fallen off, as long as it is made of aluminum material, it can be easily welded, and the safety can also be guaranteed.

Annealing treatment after 6061 aluminum plate processing

The faster the industry develops, the more materials will be consumed. Of course, with the development of the times, most products can now be processed quickly by machines. These machines are those precision carving machines and machining centers. Some products need to be annealed after processing, such as products made of 6061 aluminum plate. Generally speaking, the machined workpiece will produce stress at the processing position, which affects the stability of the structure. This is the same as stress-relieving annealing after welding. If heat treatment is required after machining, it is generally stress-relieving annealing. Now let's talk about the two heat treatment methods of 6061 aluminum sheet after processing.

T4 heat treatment:

T4 Naturally aging to a basically stable state after solution heat treatment is suitable for products that are no longer cold worked after solution heat treatment (straightening and leveling can be carried out, but the mechanical performance limit is not affected).

T6 heat treatment:

T6 The state of artificial aging after solution heat treatment is suitable for products that are no longer cold worked after solution heat treatment (straightening and leveling can be carried out, but the mechanical performance limit is not affected).
