4" OD 45 Degree Bend 6061 Aluminum Elbow Pipe Tubing Material Properties

6061-T6 aluminum alloy is one of the most commonly used aluminum alloys in aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications, widely recognized for its excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and weldability. In the T6 condition, this alloy has high strength, making it ideal for high-load applications.

  • Strength: Compared to other aluminum alloys, 6061-T6 provides higher tensile and yield strength, making it ideal for projects requiring durability and reliability.
  • Machinability: Despite being a heat-treated aluminum alloy, 6061 still maintains excellent machinability, suitable for various machining methods, including sawing, grinding, polishing, and welding.
  • Corrosion Resistance: 6061-T6 shows strong resistance to oxidation in most environments, making it suitable for prolonged exposure to humid and corrosive conditions.

4" OD 45 Degree Bend 6061 Aluminum Elbow Pipe Tubing Applications

  • Industrial: Suitable for piping systems, radiators, liquid delivery systems, and other industrial equipment requiring elbow connections.
  • Automotive: Commonly used in custom elbow piping for vehicle intake systems, cooling systems, and other parts.
  • Maritime: Part of ship piping systems, meeting special space and directional requirements.
  • Aerospace: In aerospace applications, the lightweight and strength characteristics of 6061 aluminum alloy make it an ideal choice for lightweight structural components, especially in high-performance applications.

4" OD 45 Degree Bend 6061 Aluminum Elbow Pipe Tubing Features and Advantages

  • Custom Manufacturing: The 4-inch 45-degree elbow aluminum pipe can be customized in wall thickness according to customer requirements, making it adaptable to various specific engineering needs.
  • Heat Treatment and Machinability: The aluminum alloy in the T6 condition is highly suitable for various machining processes, particularly grinding and polishing, making it ideal for post-processing.
  • Surface Finish: The mill finish surface keeps the pipe clean and provides a certain level of gloss, making it easier for further processing.
  • Weldability: 6061-T6 has excellent weldability, allowing welding on its surface without compromising the structural strength of the pipe.

Precautions

Polishing Precautions: Due to the softness of aluminum, care should be taken when polishing, especially near weld areas, to avoid excessive material removal that could affect the strength of the component.

High-Temperature Resistance: While 6061 aluminum alloy has excellent corrosion resistance and strength, it may soften in high-temperature environments. Therefore, long-term exposure to excessive temperatures should be avoided.

This 4-inch outer diameter 45-degree elbow 6061 aluminum elbow pipe, with its outstanding strength, corrosion resistance, machinability, and customization flexibility, is suitable for a wide range of applications requiring high-quality pipeline connections, especially in industrial, automotive, maritime, and aerospace fields.
