6026 aluminum alloy, which has excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for anodizing, does not contain tin (Sn) element, as it is known for causing cracking in processed parts at high pressure and temperature. Developed meeting the following norms and directives of the European Union as an alternative alloy to 6061 and 6082, the extrusion bars of 6026 alloy also have the same minimum tensile strength value as 2011 and 2030 alloys.
