6061-T6 for Precision Housings and Brackets: When It Fits—and When It Does Not
6061-T6 aluminum is a common starting point for machined housings and brackets because it combines availability, moderate strength, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, low density, machinability, joining options, and finish compatibility. It is not the automatic best alloy. Stiffness, fatigue, high-temperature strength, wear, threads, electrical behavior, stress-corrosion exposure, and raw-stock form
