RS PRO Round Aluminium Alloy Metal Rod 3 in Diameter, 24 in Length Grade 6026 818-3181

RS PRO 818-3181 is a high-quality round aluminium alloy metal rod with a diameter of 3 inches and length of 24 inches. The rod is manufactured from grade 6026 aluminium alloy, notable for its absence of Tin (Sn) which prevents cracking and weakness under high temperature and stress. This material grade ensures excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

The rod exhibits a tensile strength of 360 MPa and a hardness rating of 95 HB, enabling it to withstand rigorous mechanical loads. With a thermal conductivity of 138 W/mK and density of 2.71 g/cm³, the rod is ideal for applications requiring efficient heat dissipation and precise machining.

Main applications include automotive components, electronic and electrical parts, as well as high-speed lathes, anodising, and hot forging processes. This rod meets stringent European environmental protection directives such as 2000/53/CE-ELV and complies with the 2002/95/CE-RoHS regulations for electronics and electrical applications.

Material grade 6026-T9 with no Tin content to improve durability. Tensile strength of 360 MPa supports heavy-duty mechanical use. Hardness of 95 HB offers excellent surface wear resistance. Thermal conductivity at 138 W/mK facilitates heat management.

Density ensures stability for machining and forging processes. Suitability for anodising, hot forging, high-speed lathe machining, and electrical parts manufacturing. Manufactured in the United Kingdom ensuring high quality standards.

Complies with European environmental and RoHS directives.
