Aluminium, Commercial Alloy6026 T9 Bar

Tin free aluminium alloy machining bar recently developed to meet European Environmental Protection Directives.

Aluminium alloy 6026 is a recently developed alloy meeting the following European Environmental Protection Directives:


Alloy 6026 does not contain Tin (Sn) which can cause weakness and cracking of machined parts when subjected to stress and high temperature.

Alloy 6026 is a good alternative to alloys 6061 and 6082. Extruded bars in alloy 6026 have the same minimum tensile strength as alloys 2011 & 2030.
