Description
6066 T6 Aluminum Sheet is a type of 6066 aluminum. 6066 T6 Sheet is an aluminium alloy used in forgings and extrusion for welded structures.
ASTM B209 6066 Aluminium Sheet is furnished in the T6 temper. To achieve this temper, the metal is solution heat-treated and artificially aged until it meets standard mechanical property requirements. We also know this grades as 6066-T6 Aircraft Aluminum Alloy Sheet. 6066 T6 Aluminium Sheet Temper 0, H32, H34, H38 as per ASTM B209.
