6061 Aluminum Plate Features:

Workability. The main temper of 6061 aluminum sheet are T4, T6 and T651. Among them, the 6061-T6 aluminum sheet has a large internal stress, which may cause deformation during processing, so the 6061-T651 aluminum sheet is more suitable for product processing.
Mechanical Characteristics. The ultimate tensile strength of 6061 aluminum sheet is more than 205 MPa, the compressive yield strength is 55.2 MPa, the elastic modulus is 68.9 GPa, the bending ultimate strength is 228 MPa, and the bending yield strength is 103 MPa, the strength is higher than 6063 alloy sheet.
Comprehensive Characteristics. In short, 6061 aluminum sheet has excellent characteristics such as excellent processability, good corrosion resistance, high toughness, excellent weldability and electroplating, easy coating film, and excellent oxidation effect.

6061-T6 Aluminum Sheet Applications：

bicycle frames and components.

many fly fishing reels.

the Pioneer plaque

the secondary chambers and baffle systems in firearm sound suppressors (primarily pistol suppressors for reduced weight and improved mechanical functionality), while the primary expansion chambers usually require 17-4PH or 303 stainless steel or titanium.

The upper and lower receivers of many non mil-spec AR-15 rifle variants.

Many aluminum docks and gangways, welded into place.

Material used in some ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chambers

Many parts for remote controlled model aircraft, notably helicopter rotor components.

Large amateur radio antennas.
