T6 is a size of Torx wrench, not a hex key size. If you need to fasten or unfasten a T6 size fastener, you should obtain the appropriate tool to do so.

Is 6061 t6 aluminum annealed?

No, 6061 T6 aluminum is not annealed. It undergoes artificial aging after solution heat treatment to achieve its T6 temper, which results in improved strength and hardness compared to the annealed condition.


What aluminum is better 6061 T6 Alumium alloy or aluminum 6061 T5?

6061-T6 aluminum alloy is generally stronger and more durable than 6061-T5 aluminum. T6 aluminum undergoes a heat treatment process that increases its strength and hardness, making it more suitable for applications requiring high strength. T5 aluminum is less strong compared to T6 but still offers good formability and weldability.


What does the 6061 stand for in 6061 aluminum?

T6 tells us that how the aluminium was treated.


What causea Mild wedging t6 t7 t8 vertabral bodies?

Mild wedging of the T6-T8 vertebral bodies is often caused by age-related degenerative changes in the spine, such as osteoporosis or disc degeneration. It can also result from poor posture, repetitive strain, or minor trauma. Regular exercise, good posture habits, and proper body mechanics can help prevent worsening of the wedging.


What aluminum alloys or pure aluminum would be strong durable relatively light and salt water resistant for a metal structure?

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.
