- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance
6061-T6 aluminum flat bar is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, delivering a versatile combination of high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and good workability. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve its optimal strength properties. It conforms to ASTM B211 and is one of the most widely used aluminum alloys for fabrication.
As a large-format bar, this 8-inch wide size is ideal for applications requiring substantial surface area and structural integrity. Common uses include equipment base plates, heavy structural braces, support members for machinery, and large machined components where strength and light weight are critical design factors.
