News | 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy Screws – Customer Requirements and Applications

In the field of high-performance fasteners, screws made of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy are highly valued for their high strength, lightweight properties, and excellent corrosion resistance, making them a preferred choice in aerospace, automotive, marine, and electronics industries.

Typical customer requirements for 6061-T6 aluminum screws include:

• Mechanical Properties: Tensile strength ≥ 290 MPa, yield strength ≥ 240 MPa, ensuring safety under high-load conditions.

• Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for marine, outdoor, and humid environments; anodizing or coating further enhances durability.

• Lightweight Advantage: About one-third the weight of steel, ideal for applications where weight reduction is critical.

• Surface Treatment: Anodizing or hard anodizing for improved durability and appearance.

Applications include:

• Aerospace structures and skin fastenings

• Automotive and racing components

• Marine equipment and offshore wind power

• Bicycles, scooters, and outdoor sports gear

• High-end electronics and mechanical supports

Why T6 condition is essential:
6061 alloy exhibits different properties under various heat treatment states. The T6 condition (solution heat-treated + artificially aged) provides the highest strength and stability, meeting international standards, and is the most commonly specified condition by customers.

As a factory manufacturer, we specialize in producing customized fasteners and precision machined parts. We manufacture 6061-T6 aluminum alloy screws according to customer drawings or samples, and provide anodizing, surface finishing, and bulk delivery solutions.
