Is there any difference between 6061 aluminum and aircraft grade

Is "aircraft grade" something like "industrial strength" or "heavy

The three word term "aircraft grade aluminum" in quotes produces

commonly used (and defined) at McMaster, a huge metal parts supply
merchant on the web at (http://www.mcmaster.com/) and physically
located in the United States.
