The 6261 aluminum rod bar uses magnesium and silicon as the main alloying elements.
Strength: A moderately high strength grade of T651 is obtained by heat treatment, providing a higher strength than the 5XXX series alloy.
Processability: The 6261 aluminum rod bar is easier to process in T651 than the 5XXX alloy.
Formability: The 6261 aluminum rod bar can be in the state of T651 in cold treatment or tempered to form the T451 state. T451 has higher formability than the T651 state.
Corrosion resistance: 6261 aluminum rod bar T651/T652/T6 state, with good corrosion resistance. Compared to the 5XXX alloy, 6XXX still exhibits excellent corrosion resistance when exposed to high temperatures.
Weldability: The 6261 aluminum rod bar is easy to weld and can act as a suitable filler in the case of GTA-W or GMA-W. In the heat affected zone, the tensile strength of the weld can be reduced to 165-200 MPa. In special cases, post-weld heat treatment can restore some of the lost strength.
