View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.Kaiser Aluminum alloy 6061 has excellent joining characteristics and good acceptance of coatings (anodizing response). It is used in applications where weldability and corrosion resistance are needed. The alloy is typically used in fittings, brake pistons, computer parts, couplings, and valves.
