Description

ASTM 6262 is a free-machining alloy that offers users outstanding mechanical strength and good resistance to corrosion. Aluminum ASTM 6262 is heat treatable and due to the addition of bismuth is easily machinable. Anodizing raises the levels of corrosion resistance and with high-speed tooling you can achieve a smooth finish. Welding of Aluminum ASTM 6262 is achieved through gas, arc, and resistance methods. The most common tempers of ASTM 6262 are T6 and T9.

Equivalent Materials

This material data has been provided by ASTM.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
