6262 aluminum is a heat-treatable, free-machining alloy in the 6000 series, engineered for screw machine products that need tolerances and surface finish close to brass. Small lead and bismuth additions give it outstanding machinability while keeping good corrosion resistance and a clean anodized finish. Linsy supplies 6262 in bar, tube, sheet, coil, and wire with common tempers O, T6, T6511, and T9.
Formulaires disponibles : sheet / coil, tube, bar / rod, wire

6262 is a variant of 6061 with controlled lead and bismuth to improve chip break-up during high-speed machining. It is used where large volumes of precision parts are produced on automatic screw machines, such as hydraulic fittings, connectors, and fasteners. Strength is comparable to 6061, and it anodizes attractively, which makes it popular for visible architectural and automotive hardware.

Most common supply temper. Good strength with the best machinability and a clean anodized surface.
Cold worked plus aged for higher strength in demanding fasteners and fittings.
Annealed for maximum formability when heavy bending or forming precedes machining.
Lead and bismuth additions produce short, manageable chips at high cutting speeds, close to free-machining brass.
Takes a uniform, attractive anodized finish for visible hardware.
Comparable to 6061 after heat treatment.
Suitable for marine and industrial atmospheres when properly finished.
6262 is one of the best aluminum alloys for CNC turning and milling thanks to its chip control. Note that lead and bismuth reduce weldability, so welding is not recommended for structural joints; mechanical fastening is preferred. Anodizing (decorative or hard) and polishing are standard finishes. Observe appropriate dust control during machining because of the lead content.
Every order ships with a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) recording composition and mechanical results. Our quality system is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. Third-party SGS test reports can be arranged on request. Inspection covers dimensions, surface condition, and mechanical verification by temper.

6262 machines noticeably better than 6061 because of its lead and bismuth content, with chips that break cleanly. Strength is similar after the same temper.
Yes. It anodizes to a clean, uniform finish, which is why it is used for visible architectural and automotive hardware. Lead/bismuth can slightly affect very heavy decorative coatings, so confirm finish requirements.
Weldability is poor because lead and bismuth lower weld integrity. Use mechanical fastening for structural assemblies rather than welding.
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.
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.
