- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Workability & Corrosion Resistance
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, conforming to ASTM B211. Its T6 temper signifies it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal mechanical properties, including 45,000 PSI tensile strength. This process yields a material with an excellent combination of strength, workability, weldability, and corrosion resistance, making it a go-to for general fabrication.
As a medium-width bar, this 3" x 1/4" size is perfectly suited for structural bracing, machine ways, wear strips, and mounting plates where a balance of strength and profile is required for fabricated assemblies and custom machinery.
