- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance
6061-T6 is a precipitation-hardened aluminum alloy with magnesium and silicon as its primary alloying elements. This heat-treatable grade offers a versatile combination of high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior weldability, conforming to ASTM B211 standards. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve its optimal strength, making it one of the most widely used aluminum alloys.
As a large-format bar, this 5-inch wide profile is perfectly suited for applications requiring significant surface area and structural rigidity. It is frequently used for fabricating machine base plates, heavy equipment mounting brackets, die components, and structural support members in frames and chassis where a high strength-to-weight ratio is essential.
