6106 aluminiumlegering

What Is 6106 Aluminum Alloy?

6106 (EN AW-6106, AlMgSiMn) is a medium-strength 6000-series alloy with magnesium, silicon, and manganese. It offers a favorable balance of extrudability, corrosion resistance, weldability, and moderate strength, which suits structural and transportation components that need to be light yet durable.

Gids voor het kiezen van de juiste temperatuur

• O: softest, best formability.
• T4: naturally aged; good formability with moderate strength.
• T6: artificially aged; highest strength of the listed tempers.

Key Characteristics of 6106 Aluminum

Uitdrijfbaarheid

Good die fill and surface quality make 6106 well suited to complex profiles.

Corrosion Resistance & Weldability

Good corrosion resistance and readily weldable for transport and structural assemblies.

Matige sterkte

Sits between soft 6xxx grades and high-strength structural 6082.

Algemene toepassingen

• Automotive body and structural components
• Fietsframes
• Spoorweg- en transportconstructies
• Marine and architectural structures
• Warmtewisselaars

Opmerkingen over bewerking en oppervlakteafwerking

Bewerking

6106 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.

Welding

6106 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 & Heat Treatment

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.

Afwerking oppervlak

Common finishes include anodizing, polishing, and powder coating. Anodizing quality depends on surface preparation, so confirm finish requirements before production.

Kwaliteitsdocumenten en inspectie

Every 6106 order ships with an MTC. Third-party SGS reports can be arranged on request. Confirm the required standard (ASTM, EN, GB) when ordering.
