6023 aluminum is a lead-free, free-machining 6xxx alloy developed for high-speed automatic machining. It combines magnesium, silicon, and tin for good chip breaking and high strength, with RoHS/REACH-compliant performance as a sustainable alternative to leaded alloys.
Available forms: bar / rod / sheet / tube / profile
Common tempers: O / T6 / T651
Processing support: CNC machining, cutting, anodizing
Quality documents: MTC report with every order
6023 aluminum is a lead-free free-machining Al–Mg–Si alloy that uses tin (and related elements) instead of lead to improve chip control. It is aimed at high-volume precision machining of automotive and electronic components where environmental compliance matters.

6023 is typically supplied in O, T6, and T651. T6 / T651 are the machining tempers, giving the strength and stability needed for precision turned and milled parts. O is used where forming precedes machining.
Tin-based composition delivers chip control comparable to leaded alloys while meeting RoHS/REACH.
Produces short, manageable chips that reduce bird-nesting on automatic lathes.
T6/T651 tempers support demanding precision components.
Better atmospheric resistance than 2xxx series alternatives.
Responds well to decorative and hard-coat anodizing for a uniform appearance.
6023 is supplied in heat-treatable tempers and supports standard aluminum fabrication:
Every order ships with a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) that reports the actual chemistry and mechanical results for the supplied lot. Inspection is available against ASTM, EN, or GB standards on request. Typical documents include:
Linsy holds ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety) certifications. Third-party SGS or comparable test reports can be arranged when the project requires them.
Linsy Aluminum is a Shenzhen-based manufacturer with more than 20 years of experience supplying 1xxx–8xxx series aluminum to automotive, electronics, general engineering, and construction customers. We support both prototype and production volumes with CNC machining, laser cutting, welding, anodizing, and polishing under one roof.
The following resources support specification and procurement decisions for this alloy:
Yes. 6023 is a lead-free free-machining alloy that meets RoHS and REACH requirements, using tin instead of lead for chip control.
6023 is the lead-free counterpart aimed at the same free-machining role as 6262 and 2011, offering comparable chip control with better environmental compliance.
Yes. It is supplied in O, T6, and T651 tempers, with T6/T651 used for machined parts.
Alloy and temper, required form (sheet, plate, tube, bar, profile), dimensions and tolerances, quantity, and the applicable standard (ASTM, EN, GB, or JIS). Drawing-based profiles need a CAD file or dimension sketch.
Standard stock sizes are usually shipped within 10–60 days depending on specification and volume. Custom tempers, widths, or machined parts are quoted case by case.
Yes. An MTC reporting chemistry and mechanical properties for the supplied lot is provided with every order.
Yes. We offer CNC machining, laser cutting, welding, anodizing, and polishing so parts can be delivered closer to finished form.
Commonly ASTM B209/B221/B210, EN 485/573/755, JIS H4000, and GB/T 3190/3880, among others. Confirm the exact standard when requesting a quote.
