In a continual effort to innovate and advance metallurgy, Easton is pleased to introduce EA6X, a proprietary alloy developed specifically for TIG welded applications.

Testing in independent laboratories has documented strength properties that demonstrate significant improvements in weld durability and toughness over both 6061 and 6069. When using practical heat-treat temperatures of 980° F, EA6X exhibits a 30% higher yield strength than 6061. EA6X also shows a 120% increase in weld zone fatigue strength versus 6061. Using higher heat-treat temperatures such as and 1010° F produces even better results.

	• Standard 6061 heat-treat & age • Fully compatible with 6061 alloy • Best results with commonly available 4043 weld rod • Produces crack-free weld zones for ultimate fatigue strength • Powdercoat friendly at 350° F
