Actually, higher number has nothing to do with strength.
2024-T351
T351 temper 2024 alloy has an ultimate tensile strength of 68 ksi (470 MPa) and yield strength of 41 kpsi (280 MPa)
6061-T6
T6 temper 6061 has an ultimate tensile strength of at least 42,000 psi (290 MPa) and yield strength of at least 35,000 psi (241 MPa). More typical values are 45,000 psi (310 MPa) and 40,000 psi (275 MPa), respectively
