Reading the number

Density 2.7 g/cm³ is the figure published for Aluminium 6061-T6 in the material centre.
This is the weight of the shape as entered - the bar or the blank. A machined part weighs less, because material comes out of it; the percentage removed is what the chip-to-part ratio on a quote refers to.

Geometry times the density published for the grade you select. It is the weight of the stock shape, not of the finished part, and it is not a quotation.
