What sheet metal material thickness is available for Aluminium 6061?

Solved by Nikolaus Mroncz
In Europe, specifically from suppliers like Metalex in the UK, aluminum 6061 is available in a wide range of thicknesses. The stocked thicknesses start from 1/4″ (6.35mm) and go up to 330mm (8 inch). This includes a variety of specific sizes in between, such as 8mm, 20mm, 1″ (25.40mm), and goes up to substantial sizes like 305mm and 330mm, catering to a broad range of industrial needs. The aluminum plates are available up to 4000mm x 2000mm in size.

      In addition to the thicker sizes available for aluminum 6061 sheets mentioned earlier, thinner sheets are also widely available in Europe. Suppliers such as TW Metals stock aluminum 6061 in various thin thicknesses. The available thicknesses for these sheets include:

      • 0.0120 inches (0.305 mm)
      • 0.0160 inches (0.406 mm)
      • 0.0200 inches (0.508 mm)
      • 0.0250 inches (0.635 mm)
      • 0.0320 inches (0.813 mm)
      • 0.0400 inches (1.016 mm)
      • 0.0500 inches (1.27 mm)
      • 0.0630 inches (1.6 mm)
      • 0.0710 inches (1.803 mm)
      • 0.0800 inches (2.032 mm)
      • 0.0900 inches (2.286 mm)
      • 0.1000 inches (2.54 mm)
      • 0.1250 inches (3.175 mm)
      • 0.1600 inches (4.064 mm)
      • 0.1900 inches (4.826 mm)
      • 0.2490 inches (6.324 mm)

      These are available in different tempers and are certified to various standards including ASTM B209. This broad range ensures that for most applications, whether it be for aerospace, automotive, or consumer goods, there is a suitable thickness of aluminum 6061 sheet available in the European market. Combining these with the thicker sizes provided by suppliers like Metalex, it’s clear that manufacturers and engineers have a wide spectrum of thicknesses to choose from for their specific requirements.
