It is the commitment of Chhajed Steel Limited to keep clients updated about every development that happens in material science. Their objective is to meet different applications with qualitative, high-grade products. Their area of expertise lies in processing and supplying quality aluminium 6061 plates for many uses at the best prices and competitive rates for global distribution.

Aluminium, being one of the essential metals available in abundant quantity in the Earth's crust, constitutes around 29% of the crust. Out of this, 22% consists of pure aluminium and 7% of aluminium scrap. Aluminium, in combination with other elements, forms several alloys. One such alloy is the Aluminium 6061 Plates. High-temperature sensitivity is a common feature for the alloy because, at temperatures above 200 to 250 degrees Celsius, strength reduces. On the other hand, at subzero temperatures, it substantially enhances strength. Besides, aluminium 6061 plates show reasonable resistance to corrosion and have wide industrial applications due to their heat-treatability property.

The major elements added to aluminium 6061 plates are copper, chromium, silicon, magnesium, and luminum. Aluminium makes up 97.9% of the alloy. Datasheets document the physical properties, mechanical properties, and thermal properties of this alloy and define its density, melting point, yield strength, shear strength, fatigue strength, tensile strength, elongation, hardness, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio. Thermal conductivity and the coefficient of thermal expansion also play key roles in defining the performance of the alloy.

Machinability: The machinability of aluminium 6061 plates is excellent, especially in T6 and T4 tempers. It is readily machined in an annealed temper as well.

Forming- in the annealed environment, working as well as forming of aluminium alloy 6061 is possible. Operations such as spinning, drawing, stamping, bending can be performed using standard methods.

Welding- The alloy is readily workable and formable in the annealed condition. All the conventional working operations like spinning, drawing, stamping, and bending are carried out quite easily with standard methods.

Heat treatment- The alloy is heated up to 533 degrees Celsius, then quenched. Precipitate hardening is followed by 160 degrees Celsius with air cooling for best results. This makes the aluminium 6061 plates all the more suitable for a variety of industrial applications. Beading manufacturers, suppliers, stockists, and exporters, Chhajed Steel and Alloys Private Limited offers prime-quality aluminium 6061 plates that come with benchmark certifications. In attaining the same, we have closely aligned ourselves with a great legacy of experience in material science.
