    Material Notes:
    Information provided by Alcoa, Starmet and the references. General 6061 characteristics and uses: Excellent joining
    characteristics, good acceptance of applied coatings. Combines relatively high strength, good workability, and high resistance
    to corrosion; widely available. The T8 and T9 tempers offer better chipping characteristics over the T6 temper.
    Applications: Aircraft fittings, camera lens mounts, couplings, marines fittings and hardware, electrical fittings and connectors,
    decorative or misc. hardware, hinge pins, magneto parts, brake pistons, hydraulic pistons, appliance fittings, valves and valve
    parts; bike frames.
