ALLOY DATA SHEET


EN-AW 6101B[EAlMgSiB]
(Type: High conductivity alloy)
The alloy EN AW-6101B is a medium strength alloy, specifically dedicated to applications where a high electrical
conductivity is required. Typical applications are busbars and other electrical conductors and heat sinks.

Weldability1
Gas: 3 TIG: 2 MIG: 2
Typical filler materials (EN ISO18273): SG-AlMg5Cr(A) or AlSi5, and AlMg3 when the product has to be anodised. Due
to the heat input during welding the mechanical properties will be reduced by approximately 50% (ref. EN1999-1).
