T6 tells us that how the aluminium was treated.
If you are going to eat it I recommend the T6. Otherwise not enough information. A similar question would be. What is better, Grape jam or axle grease?
No, 6061 m is equal to 6.061 km which is 10 metres longer than 6.051.
Aluminium (in the US it is known as "Aluminum" but this is just plain wrong)
Pure aluminum is generally too soft and insufficiently strong and rigid for structures. It is a good electrical and thermal conductor, however. How is your structure to be built? Alloy 6061-T6 is a good general purpose alloy, available as bars, plate, and other forms. It is weldable and generally reasonably priced. Alloy 6063-T6 is more common in extruded forms, shares all the advantages of 6061 except it is slightly less strong. If you are cold forming sheet metal, 5052-H32 is a good bet. It is also weldable, but is not preferable for machining (it is actually a little soft for good machining). Alloy 2024 is available in product forms like 6061-T6. It is stronger, but cannot be welded. ASTM A356 is a cast alloy roughly equivalent to 6061. There are many, many others. Some of the 7xxx alloys are very strong, but I'm not so familiar with them (especially in regards to corrosion), and they are higher cost. With any aluminum alloy and salt water present, you need to make sure there are no copper alloys in contact. Brasses and bronzes are common in marine use, and will corrode a hole into aluminum in short order when submerged in seawater.

7075 is stronger than 6061 aluminum.
please explain
One cubic inch of 6061 aluminum weighs 0.0975 lb
The aluminum alloy AA 6061 is not soluble in water at room temperature.
Aluminum 6061 T6 has an exact SG of 2.707

yes it is possible by turning and milling..................

Al 6061 T6 possesses the similar chemical & mechanical properties as Al 6061 T651. T651 designates that the extrusion has to undergo stretching or permanent set to relieve the extrusion from residual stresses for a uniform machinability. Apart from that, there is no change in the chemical or mechanical properties. Al 6061 T6 is same as Al 6061 T651 & usage of T6 instead of T651 will not affect any functional aspect of the component.
That will depend on how it is heat treated and the material type. For example 6061 T6 has an ultimate of 42,000 psi but 6061 annealed is only 18,000 psi. Aluminum 7075 is 80,000 psi heat treated to T6 temper and 33,000 psi annealed.
