Alliage d'aluminium 6111 (EN AW-6111, Al-Mg-Si-Cu) is a heat-treatable 6000-series grade developed for automotive body panels and structural parts. It offers an excellent mix of formability, strength, corrosion resistance, and surface quality, and age-hardens during the paint-bake cycle for lightweight vehicles. Linsy supplies 6111 as sheet, tube, bar, and profile in T4/T6/T82 with made-to-order sizes and an MTC on every order.

6111 (EN AW-6111, Al-Mg-Si-Cu) is a heat-treatable 6000-series alloy developed primarily for the automotive industry. It combines strength, corrosion resistance, formability, and good surface quality, making it especially suited to body panels and structural automotive parts. Its ability to age-harden during the paint-bake cycle is a key advantage for lightweight vehicle bodies.

Designed for deep drawing and stamping with a clean surface finish for painting.
Age-hardens during the paint-bake cycle, gaining strength in the final part.
Good for exposed automotive body applications; compatible with common treatments.
6111 machines well in the soft (O) and solution-heat-treated tempers; T6/T651 tempers are stronger and can work-harden at the cutting edge, so sharp tooling and appropriate feeds are recommended.
6111 is generally weldable using TIG or MIG processes with matching or 4043/5356 filler, depending on the service requirement. Welded zones lose some strength compared with the base temper — design accordingly for structural use.
Forming is best done in the O or T4 condition. Final strength is developed by the specified temper; do not re-heat-treat without confirming the alloy’s response.
Common finishes include anodizing, polishing, and powder coating. Anodizing quality depends on surface preparation, so confirm finish requirements before production.
Every 6111 order ships with an MTC. Surface-quality and mechanical checks can be arranged per automotive specifications. Confirm the required standard (ASTM, EN, GB) when ordering.

Primarily automotive body panels and structural parts that benefit from formability plus strength after paint bake.
T4 is soft enough to form, then age-hardens during the paint-bake cycle to final strength.
It is weldable, but for body applications joining is often by adhesive/bonding and mechanical means; confirm the process for the part.
Standard stock items usually ship within 10–30 days. Custom sizes, tempers, or surface finishes typically require 30–60 days, depending on specification and order volume.
Yes. Every order ships with an MTC reporting chemical composition and mechanical properties per the ordered standard.
Yes. We supply standard and made-to-order dimensions across sheet, plate, bar, tube, and profile, and can arrange specific tempers on request.
