- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance
6061-T6 is a precipitation-hardened aluminum alloy containing magnesium and silicon, known for its excellent mechanical properties and weldability. It is heat-treated to a T6 temper for optimal strength. This material conforms to ASTM B211 and combines a high strength-to-weight ratio with superior corrosion resistance, making it one of the most widely used aluminum grades for general-purpose fabrication and structural applications.
As a large-format flat bar, this 6-inch wide profile is ideal for applications requiring substantial surface area and structural integrity. Common uses include heavy equipment base plates, mounting brackets for machinery, structural framing supports, and components for jigs, fixtures, and dies where a strong, stable, and lightweight material is required.
