- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Corrosion Resistance
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy with magnesium and silicon, known for its high strength-to-weight ratio. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal strength. It conforms to ASTM B211 and is one of the most widely used aluminum grades for general fabrication and structural work.
As a medium-sized bar, this 1" wide profile is ideal for structural bracing, support brackets, machine ways, and general fabrication. Its flat, uniform surfaces are easy to drill, tap, and machine, providing a stable foundation for custom components in machinery, automotive, and architectural projects.
