Zggdmetal supplies 6101 aluminum plates with thicknesses ranging from 0.015 to 0.20 mm, supporting custom sizes. All products meet ASTM B209 and ISO 9001 standards and certifications, and are available at wholesale prices.
6101 aluminum plate is a heat-treatable aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy. It is highly valued for its excellent electrical conductivity, strong mechanical properties, and superior corrosion resistance. These qualities make it an ideal choice for the electrical and power transmission industry.
With an electrical conductivity of approximately 55–58% IACS and a relatively low cost, 6101 aluminum has increasingly replaced copper in many applications. It offers an economical alternative to traditional metals without compromising performance.
The 6101 T6 aluminum plate undergoes artificial aging to enhance its strength. This treatment ensures efficient conductivity while maintaining structural integrity under mechanical stress. Its balance of strength and conductivity makes it especially suitable for components that require reliable performance over time.
