6061 aluminum sheet is a high-quality alloy product produced by heat treatment and pre-stretching. Composed mainly of Mg and Si, 6061 aluminum alloy exhibits excellent processing performance, weldability, and electroplating properties. It features high toughness, good corrosion resistance, and a dense structure that does not deform after processing. It is widely used in precision machinery, automotive wheels, 3C products, and molds.
