6026 Aluminium-Legierung

What Is 6026 Aluminum Alloy?

6026 aluminum is a lead-free free-machining Al–Mg–Si alloy, often described as an improved, environmentally compliant version of 6262. It delivers high strength in the T9 temper and machines to a good finish, making it suitable for precision components.

Leitfaden zur Auswahl der Härtung

6026 is supplied in T6, T651, and T9. T9 is the high-strength free-machining temper used for precision turned parts; T6/T651 are used where a balance of strength and machinability is needed. Choose T9 for maximum strength in machined components.

Wesentliche Merkmale

Lead-Free Free-Machining

Uses tin/bismuth instead of lead, meeting RoHS/REACH for sustainable production.

High Strength (T9)

The T9 temper provides high strength for demanding precision parts.

Gute Bearbeitbarkeit

Produces consistent chips suitable for high-speed automatic machining.

Excellent Anodizing

Takes a uniform, attractive anodized finish.

Gute Korrosionsbeständigkeit

Performs well in typical service environments.

Anwendungen

• Automotive components: machined brackets, housings, fittings
• Precision turned parts: nuts, bolts, connectors, pins
• Industrial machinery: valve bodies, spacers, fixtures
• Architectural hardware: anodized decorative fittings

Hinweise zur Bearbeitung und Oberflächenveredelung

6026 is supplied in heat-treatable tempers and supports standard aluminum fabrication:

• Schneiden: shearing, sawing, and laser cutting to size
• Zerspanung: CNC turning and milling; free-machining variants suit high-volume automatic lathes
• Schweißen: TIG/MIG weldable; note that welding reduces heat-treated strength in the weld zone
• Formung: O and T4 tempers form well; T6/T9 are used near-finished
• Oberflächengüte: anodizing (decorative and hard-coat) and polishing for visible parts

Qualitätsdokumente und Qualitätsprüfung

Every order ships with a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) that reports the actual chemistry and mechanical results for the supplied lot. Inspection is available against ASTM, EN, or GB standards on request. Typical documents include:

• MTC (EN 10204 3.1): per-heat chemical and mechanical verification
• Dimension report: thickness, width, OD, and length tolerances per ordered specification
• Surface & packaging inspection: finish, edge, and export packaging photos on request

Linsy holds ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety) certifications. Third-party SGS or comparable test reports can be arranged when the project requires them.

6026 Aluminum FAQ

Is 6026 lead-free?

Yes. 6026 is a lead-free free-machining alloy (tin/bismuth based), suitable as a RoHS/REACH-compliant alternative to leaded alloys such as 6262.

6026 vs 6262?

6026 is the lead-free evolution of 6262, offering similar free-machining behavior with better environmental compliance.

Is 6026 heat-treatable?

Yes. It is supplied in T6, T651, and T9 tempers, with T9 giving the highest strength for machined parts.

Allgemeine Fragen zur Bestellung

What information should I provide for a quote?

Alloy and temper, required form (sheet, plate, tube, bar, profile), dimensions and tolerances, quantity, and the applicable standard (ASTM, EN, GB, or JIS). Drawing-based profiles need a CAD file or dimension sketch.

What are the typical lead times?

Standard stock sizes are usually shipped within 10–60 days depending on specification and volume. Custom tempers, widths, or machined parts are quoted case by case.

Stellen Sie Werksprüfzeugnisse aus?

Yes. An MTC reporting chemistry and mechanical properties for the supplied lot is provided with every order.

Can Linsy handle processing and finishing?

Yes. We offer CNC machining, laser cutting, welding, anodizing, and polishing so parts can be delivered closer to finished form.

Nach welchen Normen liefern Sie?

Commonly ASTM B209/B221/B210, EN 485/573/755, JIS H4000, and GB/T 3190/3880, among others. Confirm the exact standard when requesting a quote.
