Laser Cutting 6061 T6 Aluminum
Need a material that's tough, corrosion-resistant, and easy to work with? Our laser-cut 6061 aluminum delivers all of these benefits and more, making it the top choice for automotive, aerospace, and robotics applications.
With its unbeatable weldability and impact loading capabilities, 6061 aluminum is the ideal choice for custom laser-cut projects that demand the highest levels of strength and performance.
Laser cut 6061 Aluminum, Strong, and Light
When it comes to structural applications that demand toughness and corrosion resistance, our laser-cut 6061 aluminum is the top choice. While these properties are typical of many aluminum alloys, what sets the 6061 series apart is its unique heat-treatability. Through a process known as precipitation hardening, this alloy can be strengthened even further without sacrificing any of its key properties.
Used in a variety of Applications
Our aluminum alloys are specifically designed to withstand high levels of vibration and stress, making them perfect for applications such as transportation and robotics. Among these alloys, 6061 stands out as a versatile option, offering a balance of strength and malleability that is similar to both 7075 and 5052.
