Aleación de aluminio 6951

6951 aluminum is a heat-treatable 6000-series alloy developed as a brazing-sheet core material for radiators and heat exchangers. Its balanced silicon and magnesium content gives good strength after brazing while resisting core erosion during vacuum or controlled-atmosphere brazing. Linsy supplies 6951 as sheet, coil, tube, bar, and wire in O, T4, and T6 tempers.

What Is 6951 Aluminum?

6951 is commonly used as the core layer of clad brazing sheet, paired with a cladding alloy such as 4343 or 4045 on one or both faces. During the brazing cycle the cladding melts and flows to seal joints, while the 6951 core keeps the assembly strong and formable. It is widely specified in automotive and HVAC heat exchangers.

Guía para la selección del temple

O

Soft core for maximum formability before brazing; often the as-clad supplied condition.

T4

Solution heat treated and naturally aged; good forming plus moderate strength.

T6 / T651

Peak strength after artificial aging; used where the core must carry load after brazing.

Características principales

Brazeability

Engineered to survive vacuum and controlled-atmosphere brazing with low core erosion.

Conductividad térmica

Good heat transfer for compact cooling systems.

Resistencia a la corrosión

Resists atmospheric and chemical attack for long service life.

Formabilidad

Forms into fins, manifolds, and intricate heat-exchanger shapes.

Aplicaciones

  • Automotive radiators, heaters, oil coolers
  • HVAC condensers and evaporators
  • Cryogenic heat-transfer equipment
  • Electronics heat sinks and thermal modules

Notas sobre el procesamiento y el acabado superficial

6951 is normally supplied as clad brazing sheet (core plus 4343/4045 cladding) for furnace brazing. It forms well and can be welded where cladding is absent, but the brazing cladding must be protected from contamination. Anodizing is possible but less common than for decorative 6xxx alloys.

6951 Aluminum FAQ

Is 6951 used as bare sheet or clad?

Almost always as the core of clad brazing sheet, with a lower-melting cladding alloy such as 4343 or 4045 on one or both faces. Specify cladding when requesting a quote.

How does 6951 differ from 3003 for heat exchangers?

3003 is a non-heat-treatable brazing core with lower strength; 6951 is heat-treatable and stronger after brazing, suiting higher-pressure exchangers.

Which tempers are typical for brazing sheet?

O or T4 are common as-supplied conditions because they form easily before the braze cycle; T6 cores are used where post-braze strength matters.

Preguntas frecuentes generales sobre pedidos

What is the typical lead time for custom aluminum orders?

Custom sizes and tempers usually ship within 10 to 60 days. Confirm the exact window when you request a quote, as it depends on alloy, temper, dimensions, and order quantity.

¿Cuál es la cantidad mínima de pedido (MOQ)?

MOQ is flexible and reviewed case by case. Small lots and prototypes can often be accommodated; larger or standard runs are more economical. Share your required dimensions and quantity for a firm quote.

Which quality documents come with the order?

Every order ships with a Mill Test Certificate (MTC). ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications apply to our management system. SGS third-party test reports can be arranged on request.

Can you cut, machine, or finish the material before shipping?

Yes. We provide CNC machining, laser cutting, TIG/MIG welding, and surface treatments including anodizing, polishing, powder coating, and PVC film protection.
