Mechanical properties of 6066 aluminum bar

6060 vs 6066

• Strength: 6066 aluminum exhibits significantly higher strength compared to 6060. After T6 treatment, 6066 has greater tensile strength, making it suitable for high-strength structural components. 6060 has lower strength, typically used in applications with less demanding strength requirements.
• Machinability: 6060 aluminum alloy has better machinability, weldability, and formability, making it suitable for extrusion and construction applications. 6066 can also be machined but is more commonly used in scenarios requiring strength.
• Applications: 6060 is often found in construction and decorative materials, while 6066 is more frequently used in high-demand mechanical structures, aerospace components, and bicycle frames.

6061 vs 6066

6066 and 6061 have a high similarity in alloy composition, reaching up to 98%, but 6066 outperforms 6061 in strength:

• Strength: 6066 aluminum alloy has a higher tensile strength compared to 6061, particularly after T6 treatment, making 6066 more suitable for high-stress applications. While 6061 has slightly lower strength, it still possesses good mechanical properties.
• Machinability and Weldability: 6061 offers slightly better machinability and weldability than 6066, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial uses. While 6066 also has good weldability, its high strength makes it more appropriate for use in high-stress environments.
• Applications: 6061 is common in automotive parts and building frames, while 6066 is more frequently used in aerospace, pressure vessels, and high-strength mechanical components.
