6061 Aluminum Flat Bar - 2-1/2" x 1/8"
This 2-1/2" x 1/8" 6061-T6 Aluminum Flat Bar is a general-purpose structural alloy offering an excellent combination of strength, workability, and corrosion resistance. It conforms to ASTM B211 and is ideal for structural framing, brackets, and machined components. In stock Los Angeles.
- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance & Weldability
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, making it one of the most versatile heat-treatable grades. It offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, 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 of 45,000 PSI, making it a reliable choice for structural applications.
As a medium-width flat bar, this 2-1/2" x 1/8" size is ideal for applications requiring more surface area and rigidity than smaller straps. Common uses include structural bracing, machine ways and guards, mounting plates for equipment, and wear strips where a balance of strength and light weight is crucial.
