#219 6061 Aluminum Sprocket

This sprocket is made of 6061-T6 aluminum.

6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum are both popular aluminum alloys that are commonly used to make sprockets.  Choosing between the two alloys depends on your kart needs and budget. Both products are available here on kartparts.com.

6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy that contains magnesium and silicon as its major alloying elements. It is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, weldability, and formability, making it a popular choice for structural applications such as building construction, transportation (auto/karting), and marine applications. It has a lower strength and hardness compared to 7075-T6 aluminum, but it is more affordable. Ideal for the recreational karter and club racer.

7075-T6 aluminum is a high-strength alloy that contains zinc as its major alloying element. It has excellent mechanical properties and is known for its high tensile strength, hardness, and toughness. This makes it a popular choice for applications that require high strength and durability, such as aerospace, military, and automotive industries. Ideal for the higher cc engines and national level racing.

All sprockets are anodized coated for extra durability and wear.
