This 1/2" x 2" 6061-T6 Aluminum Flat Bar provides a versatile combination of high strength and good workability. Certified to ASTM B211, its 45,000 PSI tensile strength is ideal for structural framing, machined components, and general fabrication. In stock for same-day pickup in 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 containing magnesium and silicon, known for its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The T6 temper signifies it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal strength. Conforming to ASTM B211, it is a top choice for projects requiring a strong, lightweight, and weldable material with a smooth mill finish.
As a medium-width bar, this 2" wide stock is ideal for manufacturing structural bracing, support brackets, machine ways, base plates, and wear strips where good dimensional stability and strength are critical.
