6061-T6 Aluminum Flat Bar - 1/2" x 3"
This 1/2" x 3" 6061-T6 Aluminum Flat Bar is a heat-treatable structural alloy offering high strength, good workability, and excellent corrosion resistance. Conforming to ASTM B211, it is a top choice for structural framing, machined parts, and general fabrication projects. In stock Los Angeles.
- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Corrosion Resistance
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, known for its excellent mechanical properties and weldability. This flat bar is produced to meet ASTM B211 standards. The T6 temper signifies it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve its optimal strength-to-weight ratio, making it one of the most versatile and widely used aluminum grades for structural applications.
As a medium-width bar, this 3-inch size is highly effective for structural bracing, support members for machinery, and mounting plates. Its dimensions provide substantial surface area for connections and mounting, while remaining lightweight and easy to handle, making it a staple for general fabrication, automotive, and marine construction.
