6061 aluminum is also very easy to machine.

Aluminum sheet thickness available.

Sheet metal thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41 82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter. 6061 aluminum sheet plate offers a combination of higher strength good corrosion resistance and machinability making the 6061 grade the most widely used aluminum sheet and plate grade available for all types of fabrication projects the general purpose 6061 aluminum sheet plate is heat treatable resists cracking due to stress and is easy to weld and machine but limited on formability.

Bars tubes sheets and plates. It comes in many forms including diamond plate expanded perforated and painted aluminum sheet. The only true distinction is in their respective thickness. Aluminum sheet and aluminum plate are essentially the same.

Our hot rolled and cold rolled steel is available in a wide range of shapes including. Aluminum sheet is any aluminum sheet metal thicker than foil but thinner than 6mm. However it is not recommended for sheet metal work because it tends to crack on the outside radii once it passes its yield and therefore requires a much larger radii to be able to bend properly. Ryerson offers heat treatable aluminum sheet grades like the popular 6061 aluminum alloy that can be used for commercial applications that require strength corrosion resistance and machinability as well as non heat treatable grades when formability and weldability are priorities.

Aluminum or aluminium in british english is also a popular metal used in sheet metal due to its flexibility wide range of options cost effectiveness and other properties. A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.
