This alloy shows medium mechanical characteristics, but exhibits problems when working with automatic lathes. In the case of large volume production, it is recommended to replace it with the Alloy 6092 (in compliance with 2000/53/EC – 2002/95/EC).
Used principally for forged and moulded parts, which must later, be subject to thermal treatment. 6082 complies with the European regulations 2002/95/EC ROHS) and 2000/53/EC (Automotive).

6026 is an alloy developed in response to the latest environmental standards. 6026 represents the best in tin alloys due to the fact that it is subject to the fragility and ruptures which submit them to pressures and high temperatures.

• An alloy suitable for high speed mechanical processing.
• 6026 is especially developed for the automobile sector
• Exhibits an excellent anti corrosive property
• Good aptitude to anodising decorative and hard
• An alternative to alloys 6061, 6082, 6282, 6262 and 6012

This alloy is especially recommended for processing with automatic lathes at high speed
and offers the following advantages:

• excellent manoeuvrability with all types of tools
• less resistance to the cut regarding all other alloys
• longer tool duration
• work area always clean due to presence of very fine metal shavings
• good mechanical characteristics
• possibility of anodising finished parts in different colours

The 2011 is the most recommended alloy for simple processing and at high speed

This alloy exhibits good manoeuvrability and good mechanical characteristics. The machined details exhibit a smooth and brilliant surface with a good resistance to corrosion and may be submitted to hard anodising and protection.

This alloy is offered with a Pb content <1% and is therefore compliant with the requirements of the regulation 2000/53/EC.
