6061 Aluminum Flat Bars - 1/4 Inch X 2-1/2 Inch
This 1/4" x 2-1/2" 6061-T6 Aluminum Flat Bar is a general-purpose structural alloy known for its high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. Conforming to ASTM B211, it delivers 45,000 PSI tensile strength, ideal for structural frames and machined components. In stock 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, 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.
