6106 aluminum alloy (EN AW-6106, AlMgSiMn) is a medium-strength 6000-series grade with good extrudability, corrosion resistance, and weldability. It is widely used for automotive, rail, marine, and architectural structures that need light yet durable material. Linsy supplies 6106 as sheet, bar, tube, wire, and extruded profile in O/T4/T6 with made-to-order sizes and an MTC on every order.
Available forms: sheet / coil / bar / tube / wire / profile
Common tempers: O / T4 / T6
Processing support: CNC machining / extrusion / welding / anodizing
Quality documents: MTC report with every order
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.

Good die fill and surface quality make 6106 well suited to complex profiles.
Good corrosion resistance and readily weldable for transport and structural assemblies.
Sits between soft 6xxx grades and high-strength structural 6082.
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.
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 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.
Common finishes include anodizing, polishing, and powder coating. Anodizing quality depends on surface preparation, so confirm finish requirements before production.
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.
