6061 aluminum 90 degree angle. The most widely used aluminum 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. All common welding methods can be used for welding this metal. Aluminum angles are fabricated from a corrosion resistant nonmagnetic material that provides a high level of strength relative to its weight. Aluminum is a soft lightweight corrosion resistant alloy that conducts both heat and electricity.
The 6061 aluminum alloy is used in countless applications due to its strength heat treatability and weldability. When you are bending 0 25 in thick 6061 t6 cracking can occur when bending past an external angle of just 86 degrees. Shop grainger canada for quality aluminum angle stock products. Chances are that you ll never make it to 90 degrees much less make it to an external angle of 100 degrees.
