Description / Abstract:
Alloy 6061 plate and sheet are intended for use where good
strength and workability are required. For airframe applications
alloy 6061 is considered an inherently corrosion-resistant alloy.
Welding of alloy 6061 may require special precautions to avoid
unsatisfactory properties in weld and heat-affected zones of welded
joints. Welding of alloy 6061 is not acceptable to NAVFAC or NAVSEA
as a method of joining.
