Aluminium alloy 6061 is a heat treatable alloy with medium fatigue strength and very good corrosion resistance.

Aluminium alloy 6061 is supplied solution treated and artificially aged to T6 temper.

Aluminium alloy 6061 has excellent joining characteristics, good acceptance of applied coatings, combines relatively high strength with good workability, and high resistance to corrosion; available in T6 condition. (The T8 and T9 tempers offer better chipping characteristics over the T6 temper.)

Aluminium Alloy 6061 is commonly used for the following:
Construction of aircraft structures, such as wings and fuselages, 
more commonly in homebuilt aircraft than commercial or military aircraft. 
2024 alloy is somewhat stronger, but 6061 is more easily worked and remains resistant to corrosion 
even when the surface is abraded, which is not the case for 2024.
Alloy 2024 is usually used with a thin Alclad coating for corrosion resistance.
Alloy 6061 is used for yacht construction, including small utility boats,
automotive parts, such as the chassis.
