Principal Design Features | This is a high electrical conductivity aluminum alloy also possessing good mechanical (strength) properties. It is hardened (strengthened) by heat treatment. |
---|---|
Aluminium 6101 Applications | Electrical bus bar conductor applications for use in enclosed bus electrical installations. |
Aluminium 6101 Machinability | Machinability by conventional means is good. Either carbide or high speed tool steel tooling may be used. Use of an oil base lubricant during machining operations is recommended. |
Aluminium 6101 Forming | Forming characteristics are good by conventional processes. See also Cold Working. |
Aluminium 6101 Welding | Welding by all of the standard processes may be done, including gas torch welding. The preferred method of welding is by means of inert gas arc welding for best results. Filler rod of the same alloy should be used. When welded in the heat treated condition the subsequent parts will be lower in strength because of weld heat input. |
Aluminium 6101 Heat Treatment | The AL 6061 alloy does respond to heat treatment which is accomplished by annealing and relatively low temperature aging. See "Annealing" and "Aging". |
Aluminium 6101 Forging | No data, although the alloy is considered forgeable. |
Aluminium 6101 Hot Working | No data. Hot working generally is not required because the alloy has very good cold working characteristics. |
Aluminium 6101 Cold Working | Easily cold worked, or cold formed in either the annealed or aged conditions. |
Aluminium 6101 Annealing | Annealing is done at 775 F for 3 hours at temperature, followed by controlled cooling at a rate of 50 F per hour down to 500 F, then air cool. A stress relief anneal (after cold working) may be done at 650 F with air cooling. |
Aluminium 6101 Aging | Aging is done at different temperatures and times, depending upon the finished temper desired as follows : T6 350 F for 20 hours and air cool. T61 440 F for 6 hours and air cool. T63 380 F for 19 hours and air cool. |
Aluminium 6101 Tempering | Not applicable. |
Aluminium 6101 Hardening | Hardens due to cold working or aging heat treatment -- see "Aging". |
Aluminium 6101 Other Physical Props | Electrical conductivity 56% of copper. |
Aluminium 6101 Other Mechanical | Shear strength values are: T6 - 22 ksi. T63 - 21 ksi. T61 - 17 ksi |
