6061-T6 Aluminum Flat Bar - 5" x 1/2" x 144"
This 5" x 1/2" 6061-T6 aluminum flat bar is a structural alloy offering a versatile mix of high strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance. Specified to ASTM B211, it is ideal for heavy-duty structural applications requiring a strong, lightweight material. In stock Los Angeles.
- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Machinability
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, known for its outstanding mechanical properties and weldability. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve its optimal strength. Conforming to ASTM B211, this grade is a reliable choice for general-purpose structural and fabrication projects where strength and corrosion resistance are critical.
As a large-format bar with a 5" width, this product is exceptionally suited for applications requiring significant structural integrity and surface area. Common uses include heavy-duty base plates for machinery, robust structural framing, die components, and large mounting brackets where rigidity and stability are paramount.
