Alloy of aluminum (over 90%) with copper (about 4%), magnesium (0.5%-1%), and manganese (less than 1%).

An alloy majorly consisting of aluminum
If you take into account how easily it is formed to make the can and not just how much the metal itself costs, yes. And by a wide margin. Aluminum is more expensive to buy than something like sheets or rods or billets of, say, steel. But aluminum has properties that make it vastly easier to work and form than that steel. Aluminum is almost miraculous in its ability to be shaped and formed without cracking or breaking apart. It is strong, but ductile, and tough but workable by standard means. If you wish to watch a short vid about how an aluminum can is made, use the link below. Aluminum is the best choice for beverage containers. Food requires heavier cans, and we usually see steel applied there. You may have guessed that the original cans were made of tin, and the name has been hanging on with us. Check out that vid. It's worth the few minutes it takes to watch it.
I believe that Industrial materials are things like Iron, steel, and aluminum.
7075 is stronger than 6061 aluminum.
The density of Aluminum 6061-T6 is approximately 2.7 g/cm³.
T6 tells us that how the aluminium was treated.
please explain
One cubic inch of 6061 aluminum weighs 0.0975 lb
T6 6061 aluminum is an alloy primarily composed of aluminum, magnesium, and silicon, known for its good strength and weldability. T6 6082 aluminum is also an alloy with aluminum, magnesium, and silicon, but it has higher tensile strength and better corrosion resistance compared to 6061.
Aluminum 6061 T6 has an exact SG of 2.707
6061 series
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.
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.
Aluminum alloy AA 6061 does not react with deionized (DI) water (DM water) at room temperature. However, prolonged exposure to water containing oxygen and other dissolved ions may result in localized corrosion, especially in the presence of chloride ions. Regular cleaning and maintenance are recommended to prevent corrosion in aluminum alloys.
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.
