Hi,

I'm looking for the tensile and yield strength of 6061-T6 Aluminum at 200 degrees Fahrenheit (150 and 300 as well if possible)? Also, can you reference the source of the data or the chart?

Thanks!
Matt

I forgot to add- the exposure time to the elevate temperature is less than 30 minutes. I'm not sure if this has an affect compared to longer durations at elevated temperatures.

Thanks again.
 
The Aluminum Association "Standards and Data" book shows 42ksi UTS and 38 ksi TYS at 212F and 34 ksi UTS and 31 ksi TYS at 300F.
These are "typical values" not minimums.
