ALUMINUM ALLOY 6061 Foil Introduction
Aluminium alloys 6061 Foil provide a range of design options. Electronics manufacturers reduce weight while maintaining high strength. This process permits production of smaller and thinner components. The alloys are used in various final products.

ALUMINUM ALLOY 6061 Foil Application
Material thickness, standard surface finishes and anodising are priorities in the electronics industry. Aluminium is used in consumer electronic enclosures and larger devices such as laptops, televisions and tablets. Given that strength and mechanical performance are required, 6061 meets both requirements and is a viable solution for hand-held devices and mobile telephones. Consequently, the alloys are increasingly employed in the automotive industry due to enhanced fuel efficiency.
