6101 Aluminum Sheet

6101 Aluminum sheet - Flat Alu Sheet Manufacturer Gangyang Aluminum

6101 aluminum sheet is a popular alloy that can be found in many commercial and industrial applications. It can provide users with high electrical conductivity and good mechanical strength. Aluminum 6101 can be machined, welded and formed using standard methods, and it is easy to extrude. Aluminum is one of the most commonly used conductive materials in the manufacture and construction of power distribution components and equipment. As a heat treatable forged product, 6101 aluminum plate is most suitable for applications with medium strength and maximum conductivity. It is similar to 6063 aluminum sheet, but the chemical change is small, which can enhance the conductivity. Although the conductivity is slightly lower than alloy 1350, it provides greater strength.

6101 Aluminum Sheet Features:

6101 aluminum sheet has good corrosion resistance, flexibility and formability.
Unlike other aluminum alloys, 6101 aluminum sheets can be hot-worked and cold-worked.
6101 alloy has a variety of tempering conditions, different tempering provides different strength, formability and Conductivity level.
Welding of all standard processes can be completed, including gas torch welding. The best welding method is to use inert gas arc welding.

6101 Aluminum Sheet Application:

6101 aluminum sheet is ideal for bus conductors, because aluminum weighs only one-third of copper, heat dissipation is fast, light weight, but very strong and highly corrosion-resistant, and can be conducted with only half the weight of copper Equal power.

With these characteristics, aluminum sheet suppliers have also found that 6101 alloy is also an excellent choice for electrical projects other than bus conductors. Such as electrical buses and accessories, power transmission, power stations, electrical components, etc.
