If you're in the market for aluminum sheet with a particular alloy spec, check out the 6061-T651 alloy sheet. Not only is it lightweight and strong, but it can also be anodized in a variety of colors. And this makes it a great asset to a wide range of projects, from portable equipment enclosures to high-performance race vehicles. If you would like more information or are ready to purchase your own sheets, please contact us today!

The 6061 aluminum alloy designation comes from the popular specification system developed by SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) that a majority of countries use when specifying and trying to find materials for industry-related products. The SAE codes are more in line with industrial standards than engineering guidelines and therefore impart more confidence when selecting a particular material as it relates to its intended application and end product.

Aluminum sheet is made by rolling sheets of aluminum and then an additional production process that includes anodizing, laser etching or silk-screening, chemical milling, drilling, or cutting. Many common projects can be made with the use of aluminum sheet including furniture, kitchens and even picture frames.

This aluminum sheet is only available in a polished (mirror) finish. It is a great option for projects that don't need to be painted, or require a completely reflective/mirror finish. Aluminum sheet can also be treated with a clear coat over the top to make sure it stays looking good and lasts longer.

Aluminum Sublimation Sheet, also known as Heat Transfer Coating, is an effective and affordable way to get the custom look you want for your products. Aluminum sublimation sheet is commonly used in the decoration of items including giftware, appliances, electronic components and devices. Aluminum sublimation sheet is used with direct heat printing which directly transfers the print on to a substrate with a flat surface area by sublimation or melting. The substrate can be varied in thickness, length and widths defined by user-specific requirements.

Sublimation forms a molecular bond between the image and the aluminum, unlike lamination which use an adhesive to stick an image onto the top of the material. This technology is being used in industries like packaging and woodworking for applications such as signs and labels.
