6061-T6 Aluminum Flat Bar - 2-1/2" x 1/2" x 144"
This 2-1/2" x 1/2" 6061-T6 Aluminum Flat Bar provides high strength-to-weight performance for fabrication and structural use. It meets ASTM B211 standards, featuring 45,000 PSI tensile strength and excellent weldability, ideal for frames, brackets, and base plates. In stock Los Angeles.
- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability & Weldability
6061-T6 aluminum is a heat-treatable alloy with magnesium and silicon, known for its versatile mechanical properties. This precipitation-hardened grade conforms to ASTM B211 and delivers a combination of 45,000 PSI tensile strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior weldability. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal strength, making it a primary choice for general fabrication.
As a medium-sized bar, this 2-1/2" x 1/2" stock is ideal for a range of structural and mechanical applications. Its dimensions are well-suited for structural bracing, support members for machinery, wear strips, and custom-machined base plates where a balance of strength, rigidity, and moderate weight is required.
