Overview|Specifications|Applications|Finish Options|How to Measure|Order Checklist

6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, delivering a versatile mix of mechanical properties. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to its peak strength. Conforming to ASTM B211, this grade offers excellent weldability, good machinability, and superior corrosion resistance, making it one of the most widely used aluminum alloys for fabrication.

As a medium-width flat bar, this 2-1/2" size provides substantial surface area and structural integrity for demanding applications. It is frequently used for structural bracing in frames, mounting plates for machinery, wear strips on industrial equipment, and as robust stock for custom-machined parts.

Specifications

  • Material: 6061-T6 Aluminum
  • Standards: ASTM B211
  • Strength/Tensile: 45,000 PSI
  • Dimensions: 1/4" Thickness x 2-1/2" Width x 144" Length
  • Finish: T6 Temper (Mill Finish)
  • Certifications: Mill Test Report (MTR) Available

Applications

  • Structural Fabrication: Support braces and frames - high strength-to-weight ratio for rigid, lightweight assemblies.
  • Machining: Custom brackets and mounting plates - good machinability allows for precision features like holes and slots.
  • Transportation: Trailer components and truck beds - offers durability and corrosion resistance without adding significant weight.
  • Architectural: Door frames and structural trim - smooth surface accepts finishes like anodizing or powder coating.

Target Users

Fabricators, machinists, and engineers rely on 6061-T6 flat bar for its versatile performance in structural and custom part manufacturing throughout the Los Angeles area.

Finish Options

This product comes standard with a mill finish in the T6 temper condition, characterized by a smooth, unpolished surface. For specific project requirements, other finishes such as anodizing for enhanced corrosion resistance and color, or powder coating for a durable decorative finish, can be applied. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.

How to Measure

Flat bar is measured by its Thickness (the smaller dimension) and its Width (the larger dimension).

Example: To order this flat bar, specify "6061 Aluminum Flat Bar, 1/4" thick by 2-1/2" wide".

Order Checklist

  • Product name and required dimensions (1/4" x 2-1/2" x 144")
