Material Properties for Aluminum Alloys




2001

I need to find the material properties such as strength and density of the following alumininum alloys: 6060-T51, 6063-T5, 6063-T54, 6005A-T61.

Does anyone know where I can find technical details for these alloys? This would be for railing/stair tread applications.

Thanks.

An Engineers handbook may tell you, but might not on those specific materials. Try calling a metal supplier they are usually willing to tell you about the metal you're interested in.

Please refer to Aluminium Standards & Data from The Aluminium Association, USA (2000 version is available freely on website) or go to websites such as WWW.MATWEB, WWW.ALUMATTER.ORG, & similar websites.
