Top manufacture Aluminum plate diamond sheet 6061 T6 aluminium
tread plates
6061 aluminum treadplate is commonly known as ''Diamond plate''. It
is strong, lightweight and isused to provide protection and
traction on high traffic areas. Aluminum sheet provides strength,
skidresistance, and durability. Alloy 6061 aluminum plates are one
of the most versatile and widely used of the heat treatable alloys.
Aluminum Tread Plate 6061 is corrosion resistant, and formable. The
textured surface of the Aluminum Tread Plate also offers increased
rigidity in the material as well as hiding fingerprints and dents.
Aluminum Tread Plate offers anti-slip floor surface and is popular
in decorative metal working. 6061 is less corrosion resistant but
stronger than 3003.
The 6061 T6 aluminum tread plate has the highest corrosion
resistance of all the aluminums that have been heat treated. It is
an alloy that has been formed with silicon and magnesium. It has a
lower strength than other comparable aluminums, but is still widely
used. This is partly due to its corrosion resistance and partly due
to its excellent mechanical properties. There are a variety of ways
you can form 6061 aluminums, such as through machining and welding.
The machinability rating of this alloy is 90 percent. It also has
great joining capabilities. If needed, this product can be anodized
or have other coatings applied.
The applications 6061 aluminum alloys are frequently used for
include base plates, truck components, marine fittings, marine
components, marine hardware, electrical connectors, electrical
fittings and camera lens mounts. This is only a few of the wide
array of applications this alloy is used for. It also has the
capability to be used for heavy duty structures that need corrosion
resistance and good weight-to-strength ratio.
Hot treating and cold working can also be used for 6061 alloys.
When in the annealed state, cold working can be easily performed,
creating an end product that is cut, stamped, drilled, deep drawn,
bent or tapped. These can all be achieved using standard cold
working methods.
When heat treating this alloy, thorough heating should be done at
990 degrees F, and then be water quenched. For precipitation
hardening, the metal should be placed in 320 degrees F for 18
hours, air cooled, then placed in 350 degree F for eight hours, and
then air cooled again.
The 6061 T6 aluminum tread plate is available in sizes between .125
and .375 inch thick, 48 inches wide and up to 192 inches long
