With 59% IACS conductivity in T61 temper (vs. 43% for 6061), it is the premium choice for aluminum busbar and bus pipe in power distribution systems. Similar to 6063 in chemistry but with minor adjustments to maximize conductivity, 6101 is typically used in bus bar and bus pipe where efficiency matters most. ### Chemical Composition Element Min Max Aluminum (Al) Balance (~98%) — Magnesium (Mg) 0.35% 0.80% Silicon (Si) 0.30% 0.70% Iron (Fe) — 0.50% Copper (Cu) — 0.10% Boron (B) — 0.06% ### Alloy Designations UNS A96101 ASTM B317 Common Name Electrical Bus Alloy ### Mechanical Properties Tensile Strength (T61) 18 ksi (124 MPa) Tensile Strength (T65) 25 ksi (172 MPa) Yield Strength (T61) 11 ksi (76 MPa) Yield Strength (T65) 20 ksi (138 MPa) Elongation (T61) 10% Hardness B34 / 71 HB ### Physical Properties Density 2.70 g/cm³ (0.098 lb/in³) Melting Point 621–654°C (1,150–1,210°F) Electrical Conductivity (T61) 59% IACS Electrical Conductivity (T65) 58% IACS Thermal Conductivity 218 W/m·K Modulus of Elasticity 68.3 GPa (9,900 ksi) ## Typical Applications - Aluminum bus bar — electrical grade - Bus pipe for power substations - Power distribution switchgear - Electrical connectors and fittings - Transformer bus connections ## Fabrication & Joining - Designed specifically for electrical conductivity - Good extrusion characteristics - Weldable with 4043 filler - Lower strength than 6061 — use for electrical, not seamless - Available in rectangular bar and pipe ## Need 6101 Aluminum Busbar?
