6151 is an aluminum-copper-magnesium alloy designed for structural aerospace applications requiring moderate strength and good machinability. The T6 temper (solution heat-treated and artificially aged) provides tensile strengths of approximately 40-45 ksi with improved hardness and dimensional stability compared to softer tempers.
