Aluminium, Commercial Alloy
6101A T6 Bar & Extrusion
A heat treatable wrought aluminium alloy used in the manufacture and construction of electrical power distribution components and equipment.
6101A aluminum is a 6000-series aluminum alloy: There is significant alloying with both magnesium and silicon, and the alloy is formulated for primary forming into wrought products. Cited properties are appropriate for the T6 temper. To achieve this temper, the metal is solution heat-treated and artificially aged until it meets standard mechanical property requirements.
6101A is the Aluminum Association (AA) designation for this material. In European standards, it will be given as EN AW-6101A. AlMgSi(A) is the EN chemical designation.
