Frequently used in structural sections, Aluminum Alloy 6061 provides maximum strength and workability. Design engineers utilize 6061 in applications such as construction, architectural components, fittings, and aerospace. Aluminum Alloy 6061 is highly resistant to corrosion, making it a suitable choice for demanding outdoor environments and aerospace applications. It is weldable, brazeable, and can be hot forged — all while maintaining an excellent surface finish.  Aluminum Alloy 6061 is a highly versatile alloy and can be used to build structural elements in virtually any shape or set of dimensions. Continental Steel offers 6061 in structural sections and other forms.
