George Metals, based in Houston, USA, is a trusted manufacturer and supplier of Aluminium 6101 T6 Bars and Rods. This high-conductivity aluminum alloy is primarily designed for electrical applications that demand both strength and resistance to corrosion. The T6 temper of Aluminium 6101 is heat-treated to strike a perfect balance between mechanical strength, conductivity, and formability. At George Metals, we produce these bars and rods in various sizes and finishes, adhering to international standards like ASTM B317/B317M. Renowned for being lightweight yet high-performing, Aluminium 6101 T6 is perfect for bus bars, power distribution systems, and electrical connectors.
Aluminium 6101 T6 Bars and Rods from George Metals generally consist of 97.3% aluminum, along with 0.3–0.7% magnesium and 0.5–0.8% silicon, plus trace amounts of iron, copper, and zinc. The T6 temper is achieved through a process of solution heat treatment followed by artificial aging, resulting in a tensile strength of around 241 MPa, yield strength of about 207 MPa, and an elongation of 10–15%. This alloy also boasts impressive electrical conductivity (approximately 43–52% IACS) and excellent corrosion resistance in both atmospheric and mildly corrosive environments. These mechanical and electrical properties make it a top choice for demanding electrical and structural applications.
