Aluminium 6061 forgings are primarily made up of aluminium (about 97.9%), along with magnesium (1.0%), silicon (0.6%), iron, copper, chromium, and a few other trace elements. This alloy boasts impressive mechanical properties, featuring a tensile strength ranging from 290 to 310 MPa and a yield strength of around 240 MPa. It also offers good corrosion resistance, high fatigue strength, and excellent machinability, making it suitable for heat treatment and welding. These mechanical traits ensure that Aluminium 6061 forgings provide structural stability, reliability, and lightweight performance in various demanding engineering settings.

Aluminum 6061 offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, machinability, weldability, and thermal conductivity, making it ideal for custom forgings in aerospace, automotive, and structural applications.
Aluminum 6061 is not ideal for high-temperature forging due to its lower melting point and limited high-temperature strength. It is better suited for structural applications, not extreme heat environments.
You’ll find Aluminium 6061 forgings widely used in industries that need strong, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant components. In aerospace, they play a role in aircraft fittings, structural parts, and hydraulic systems. The automotive industry utilizes these forgings in suspension components, brake parts, and engine mounts. Their remarkable resistance to saltwater makes them a great choice for marine applications, such as boat frames and deck fittings. Beyond that, Aluminium 6061 forgings are also found in construction, industrial machinery, and sporting equipment, thanks to their impressive strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and ability to adapt to complex shapes and stress-bearing applications.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
