6011 aluminiumlegering

Wat is aluminium 6011?

6011 aluminium is a 6xxx-series heat-treatable sheet alloy similar in concept to 6010 but tuned for a slightly higher strength-to-formability balance. It strengthens through the magnesium-silicide (Mg2Si) precipitation system and is used for formed structural parts in automotive and transport.

Temper	Tensile (MPa)	Yield (MPa)	Rek (%)
T4	290 min	140 min	22 min
T6	340 min	290 min	10 min

Values are typical minimums for sheet per ASTM B209 / EN 485-2 and depend on thickness. T5 is also produced for some extruded and formed applications.

Gids voor het kiezen van de juiste temperatuur

T4 is the forming condition, used where parts are shaped before aging.

T6 delivers the highest strength for structural members and brackets.

T5 offers a production-friendly aged condition for moderate-strength parts.

Belangrijkste kenmerken

Strength and formability

6011 holds a good balance, letting factories form parts yet reach meaningful strength after aging.

Corrosiebestendigheid

Good general resistance suitable for automotive and transport exposure.

Lasbaarheid

Weldable by MIG/TIG; allow for heat-affected-zone softening in design.

Toepassingen

• Automotive structural parts (pillars, beams)
• Truck and trailer bodies
• Railway vehicle structures
• Welded frames and brackets
• General structural sheet fabrication

Opmerkingen over bewerking en oppervlakteafwerking

6011 is typically formed in T4 and aged afterward. Welding uses 4043/5356 filler with allowance for HAZ softening. It machines and laser-cuts cleanly in T6.

Kwaliteitsdocumenten en inspectie

• MTC (Mill Test Certificate): supplied with every order, reporting actual chemistry and mechanical properties of the delivered lot.
• Dimension and visual inspection: size, flatness, surface, and edge condition are checked against the agreed specification.
• Third-party inspection: SGS or equivalent reports can be arranged on request for specific orders.
• Certificeringen: ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety).

6011 Aluminum FAQ

6011 vs 6010?

6011 carries a bit more magnesium for higher strength while keeping good formability; 6010 is the slightly softer, very formable option.

Is 6011 available as wire?

6011 is a sheet/plate grade. Welding wire for 6xxx joints is normally 4043 or 5356.

What standard covers 6011 sheet?

Supplied to ASTM B209 or EN 485-2 (EN AW-6011) depending on the destination market.

Veelgestelde vragen over bestellingen in het algemeen

Wat is de minimale bestelhoeveelheid?

Minimum order quantities depend on the form and temper. For common sheet, plate, and extrusion sizes we can often accept small lots; custom sizes and tempers are quoted per request. Contact us with your bill of materials for a firm MOQ.

What lead time can I expect?

For stock or regularly produced sizes, typical lead time is 10 to 60 days depending on quantity, temper, and any additional processing. Custom or rarely ordered specs may take longer; we confirm the date in the quotation.

Levert u fabriekstestcertificaten?

Yes. Every shipment includes an MTC reporting the actual chemistry and mechanical results for the supplied lot. SGS or other third-party inspection reports can be arranged when needed.

Can you cut to size or add processing?

Yes. We offer cut-to-length, precision sawing, CNC machining, laser cutting, and surface finishing (anodizing, polishing, brushing) so the material arrives closer to your finished part.

Aan welke normen levert u?

We regularly work to ASTM, EN, GB, and JIS specifications. If your project references a specific standard or designation, mention it in the RFQ so we match the requirement.

Hoe vraag ik een offerte aan?

Send your alloy, temper, form, dimensions, quantity, and required standard. We return a quotation with pricing, lead time, and the inspection documents included.
