6061 Aluminum Plate Tempers for Mold Applications
| Temper | Description | Mold Application Suitability |
|---|---|---|
| T6 | Solution heat-treated and artificially aged | General mold applications requiring optimal strength-to-weight ratio |
| T651 | Stress-relieved T6 by stretching | Large molds requiring maximum dimensional stability; preferred for precision machining |
| O | Annealed (softest temper) | Applications requiring extensive forming or bending before heat treatment |
| H112 | Strain-hardened | Applications requiring good formability with moderate strength |
For most industrial mold applications, 6061 t6 aluminum and T651 tempers are preferred due to their optimal combination of strength, machinability, and dimensional stability.
