Aluminium
6061-T6 is a precipitation-hardened aluminium alloy containing magnesium and silicon. With a tensile strength of ~310 MPa, excellent corrosion resistance, and good machinability, it is the go-to alloy for structural and general engineering in India. It is widely available from domestic mills (Hindalco, Balco, Jindal) and is the alloy most commonly cross-compared with 6082-T6.
Grades
Aluminium 6061-T6
The default Indian structural aluminium — strength, machinability, weldability balance.
Aluminium 6082-T6
Higher-strength European-spec structural aluminium. The most-rolled grade in India.
Aluminium 7075-T6
Aerospace high-strength. UTS 572 MPa — the benchmark for machined aircraft structural parts.
Aluminium 2024-T3 / T351
Aerospace skin alloy. The original duralumin — high strength, high copper.
Aluminium 5052-H32
Marine-grade non-heat-treatable formable sheet. The deep-drawing default.
Aluminium 5083-H321
Cryogenic & marine-grade aluminium. LNG-qualified, retains toughness to −196 °C.
