6061 Aluminum Flat Bars - 1/2 Inch X 1-1/2 Inch
This 1/2" x 1-1/2" 6061-T6 Aluminum Flat Bar provides a versatile combination of high strength, good machinability, and weldability. Conforming to ASTM B211, it offers 45,000 PSI tensile strength, making it ideal for structural framing and machined components. In stock Los Angeles.
- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability & Weldability
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy with magnesium and silicon as its primary alloying elements. The T6 temper signifies it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal strength, making it one of the most widely used aluminum alloys. This flat bar is produced to ASTM B211 standards, ensuring consistent mechanical properties, including excellent weldability and corrosion resistance.
As a medium-width bar, this 1-1/2" size is an industry staple for structural applications. It is frequently used for structural bracing, machine ways, support brackets, and wear strips where a balance of strength, stiffness, and light weight is required for performance and reliability.
