- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, known for its versatile mechanical properties. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal strength. It conforms to ASTM B211 and combines a lightweight profile with high strength, good machinability, and excellent weldability, making it a go-to for fabrication.
As a small profile flat bar, this 1/2" x 1/8" size is perfectly suited for manufacturing custom brackets, support straps, base plates for small machinery, and architectural trim. Its precise dimensions and flat surfaces make it easy to drill, tap, and machine for detailed components.
