The Aircraft Spruce catalog makes very little mention 6061-T5, other than it's articficially aged. I've looked around a little and have yet to find anything in my books about T5, but I haven't exactly knocked myself out on that either. I've seen several mentions of it on the web, but it's usually "6061-T5/6", so apparently that are practically the same thing, with the same properties, but arrived at through different aging processes.
