In the case of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, the “T6” indicates that it was solution heat-treated and artificially aged. It offers good finishing characteristics and responds well to anodizing, including color dye and hard coat. It is also weldable, but may lose some strength, which can be restored by re-heat-treating and artificially aging.
