Inspection of Aluminium 6061 Elbows and Tees

Surface Defects Inspection: Check the internal and external surfaces of the pipe fittings for cracks, delamination, folding, inclusions, depressions, scratches, oxidation, corrosion and other defects visible to the naked eye.

Surface Defects Inspection: Check the internal and external surfaces of the pipe fittings for cracks, delamination, folding, inclusions, depressions, scratches, oxidation, corrosion and other defects visible to the naked eye.

Marking and labeling inspection: Check whether the steel seal or spray code on the fittings is clear and complete, and whether the content is in line with the standard requirements (such as material, size, furnace lot number, manufacturer's logo, etc.).

Outside Diameter (OD) and Wall Thickness (WT): Use calipers, micrometers, or ultrasonic thickness gauges to measure the actual OD and WT of fittings to ensure that they are within standard tolerances.

Center-to-End Distance: Measure the center-to-end distance of elbows and tees to ensure compliance with ASME B16.9 and other standards.

End Bevel Inspection: Check the bevel angle and the quality of the bevel surface at the end of the fitting to ensure ease and quality of subsequent welding.

What is Aluminum 6061

From the purchase order, we can see that the customer is requesting Aluminum 6061 material for all items. Let's take a look at the introduction and characteristics of this material. Aluminum 6061 is a common aluminum alloy made of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg) for strength, and silicon (Si) for better casting. It also includes copper (Cu) and chromium (Cr) to improve performance, making it a versatile industrial material. Our Aluminum 6061 elbows and tees are lightweight, strong, corrosion-resistant, and easy to process, making them ideal for industries needing weight reduction, high-pressure handling, or corrosion protection.

Aluminum 6061 Characteristic

Aluminium 6061 Elbows and Tees Main Properties

Medium to High Strength:

6061 aluminum alloys offer good strength, especially after T6 heat treatment (solution treatment followed by artificial aging), with significant increases in tensile and yield strengths to meet the needs of many structural and pressurized applications.

Excellent corrosion resistance:

6061 alloys exhibit good corrosion resistance in a wide range of environments, and the surface readily forms a dense oxidized film, which further enhances its corrosion resistance.

Good weldability:

6061 aluminum alloys have excellent weldability and can be joined by a variety of welding methods (e.g., TIG, MIG).

Good formability:

In the annealed (O) or T4 condition, 6061 has good cold workability and is easy to form by bending, stamping, drawing, etc., facilitating the manufacture of complex tubing shapes such as elbows and tees.

Ease of machining:

6061 is an easy-to-machine alloy that can be drilled, milled, turned, and other machining operations, and has a good surface finish after machining.

Fields of Application

Aerospace: aircraft structural components, piping systems.

Automotive industry: body structures, engine components, piping for heat dissipation systems.

Building construction: frames, support structures, decorative parts.

Bicycle and sports equipment: bicycle frames, outdoor equipment.

Marine and offshore: hull structures, piping systems (specific marine environments need to be considered).

General Engineering and Manufacturing: Various equipment and structures requiring lightweight, corrosion-resistant, high-strength fittings.
