6061-T6 COMPARISON INFORMATION

 

Don't settle on the "Industry Standard" 6005-T5 alloy when you can have the superior strength and quality with the alloy.

When comparing types of aluminum, other companies mislead you into believing the alloys are the same. If they were the same, why would they have different property names? Although several categories between the alloys are similiar, the areas primarily dealing with strength are in fact different as shown by the following comparison. The information below is from a material property data website called matweb.com. There you will find true comparison information of the different alloys.
