Seeking aluminum alloy details

I would like to have details regarding aluminum alloys AL-6061-T6 AND AL-6061-T651 and also the suppliers of the items.

Hello Mr. Karthik!

For reading material on aluminum and it's alloys, including 6061, I'd suggest you go to ~~astimage.daps.dla.mil/quicksearch~~ and type in Mil-Hdbk-694. This will get you a copy of the old US Military "Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys" handbook. For suppliers, you can do a search on your favorite search engine, or I'd suggest looking to the "metals" page at www.about.com. Good luck!

Good luck!
