6061 Aluminum Flat Bars - 1/4 Inch X 1/2 Inch
This 1/4" x 1/2" 6061-T6 Aluminum Flat Bar offers a versatile combination of high strength, good machinability, and weldability. Conforming to ASTM B211, it is ideal for structural applications requiring a lightweight, corrosion-resistant material like brackets and frames. 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, solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve its optimal strength. This process results in material that meets ASTM B211 standards and provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and high weldability. Its combination of properties makes it one of the most widely used aluminum alloys for general-purpose structural fabrication.
As a small-profile bar, this 1/4" x 1/2" size is perfectly suited for applications where light weight and moderate strength are required. It is frequently used for fabricating custom mounting brackets, support straps, shims for alignment, and framework for small enclosures or machinery guards.
