6026 Aluminium

6026 Aluminium has been developed as a replacement to grade 6262 to meet the new environmental standards in Europe for lead content, whilst still retaining very good machinability.6026 is also recommended for components which require good corrosion resistance, aesthetic finishes, and it can also be readily anodised

Machining
This grade has been developed for optimised consistent machinability, producing short tightly curled chips and rapid metal removal rates.
Anodising
Good anodising properties.
