What should be noted when cutting aluminum slugs？
1.Tool selection: Choosing the appropriate tool is crucial for cutting aluminum plates. The quality, hardness, and sharpness of the cutting tool directly affect the cutting quality. The selection of the cutting tool should consider the thickness and hardness of the aluminum plate to ensure that the tool can effectively cut and produce a flat cutting line during the cutting process.
2. Cutting parameters: Cutting parameters include cutting depth, cutting pressure, cutting angle, etc. The selection of these parameters should be adjusted according to the characteristics of the aluminum plate and the required cutting effect. The cutting depth and cutting pressure should be balanced to avoid cutting too deep or too shallow. The choice of cutting angle can affect the quality and accuracy of the cutting edge.
3. Material characteristics: The hardness, thickness, purity, and surface condition of aluminum plates can also affect cutting quality. Aluminum plates with higher hardness may require stronger cutting equipment and more wear-resistant cutting tools. Thicker aluminum plates may require more powerful cutting equipment to ensure cutting efficiency. Meanwhile, the flatness and smoothness of the surface state can also affect the accuracy and quality of cutting,

What is the difference between 6061-T6 and 6061 T651 ?：
6061 aluminum alloy T6 and T651 are two common heat treatment states. The main difference between them lies in the cooling rate during the heat treatment process.
✔️ T6 state: 6061 aluminum alloy undergoes solution heat treatment and artificial aging. During the solution treatment process, aluminum alloys are heated to high temperatures and then rapidly cooled to increase hardness. Next, it will be heated again to a lower temperature for aging treatment to further enhance the performance of the material. Aluminum alloy in T6 state has good strength and corrosion resistance.
✔️ T651 state: 6061 aluminum alloy undergoes stretching balance treatment on the basis of T6 state, which is called stretching balance treatment. Its purpose is to adjust the internal stress distribution of aluminum alloy to make it more uniform. Therefore, aluminum alloys in T651 state have better mechanical properties and deformation resistance.
What are the applications of 6061 aluminum alloy?
6061 aluminum alloy is widely used in various fields such as aerospace, transportation, packaging, construction, electronics, etc.
The main alloying elements of 6061 T6 are magnesium and silicon, which have moderate strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability, and good oxidation effect. Widely used in various industrial structural components that require a certain strength (85-110 degrees) and high corrosion resistance, such as railway vehicles, furniture machinery parts, precision machining, molds, etc.
1.6061 Aluminum Alloy Processing Technology
6061 aluminum alloy is a high-quality aluminum alloy product produced through heat treatment and pre stretching process.
6061 aluminum is a heat treated strengthening alloy with good formability, weldability, and machinability. It also has moderate strength and can maintain good operability after annealing. The main alloying elements of 6061 aluminum are magnesium and silicon, forming Mg2Si phase. If it contains a certain amount of manganese and chromium, it can neutralize the harmful effects of iron; Sometimes a small amount of copper or zinc is added to improve the strength of the alloy without significantly reducing its corrosion resistance; There is also a small amount of copper in conductive materials to counteract the adverse effects of titanium and iron on conductivity; Zirconium or titanium can refine grain size and control recrystallization structure; To improve machinability, lead and bismuth can be added. Mg2Si solid solution in aluminum gives the alloy artificial age hardening function.
