6026 aluminum is a lead-free, free-machining 6xxx alloy (improved 6262 type) that offers high strength, good machinability, and attractive anodized finishes. It is used for precision turned parts where lead-free compliance is required.
Available forms: bar / rod / sheet / tube / profile
Common tempers: T6 / T651 / T9
Processing support: CNC machining, cutting, anodizing
Quality documents: MTC report with every order
6026 aluminum is a lead-free free-machining Al–Mg–Si alloy, often described as an improved, environmentally compliant version of 6262. It delivers high strength in the T9 temper and machines to a good finish, making it suitable for precision components.

6026 is supplied in T6, T651, and T9. T9 is the high-strength free-machining temper used for precision turned parts; T6/T651 are used where a balance of strength and machinability is needed. Choose T9 for maximum strength in machined components.
Uses tin/bismuth instead of lead, meeting RoHS/REACH for sustainable production.
The T9 temper provides high strength for demanding precision parts.
Produces consistent chips suitable for high-speed automatic machining.
Takes a uniform, attractive anodized finish.
Performs well in typical service environments.
6026 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. 6026 is a lead-free free-machining alloy (tin/bismuth based), suitable as a RoHS/REACH-compliant alternative to leaded alloys such as 6262.
6026 is the lead-free evolution of 6262, offering similar free-machining behavior with better environmental compliance.
Yes. It is supplied in T6, T651, and T9 tempers, with T9 giving the highest strength 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.
