View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)

Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.

ALCOA 6010 ALLOY offers the potential for lighter weight panels than steel or other aluminum alloy auto body sheet. It provides comparable performance, compatibility with existing production processes and a reasonable cost per unit of weight saved. It provides better dent resistance than most other aluminum body sheet alloys and mild steel of equal gage. Alloy 6010 formability is equal to that of 2036- T4 while offering greater strength. Scrap compatibility eliminates the segregation problems of mixed 2xxx and 5xxx scrap. Alloy 6010 scrap is readily recycled into itself or into casting alloys.
