  • T6 - Solution heat treated and artificially aged
  • T3 - Solution heat treated, cold worked and naturally aged
  • T6511 - Solution heat treated and stress-relieved by stretching then artificially aged with minor straightening after aging
  • T651 - Solution heat treated, stress relieved by stretching then artificially aged

Supplied Forms

Round Bar is stocked in the range 1/2inch to 10inch diameter.
Plate is stokced in thicknesses 1/2inch to 4 inch.
