- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Corrosion Resistance
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, making it one of the most widely used aluminum grades. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve its optimal strength. Conforming to ASTM B211, this material provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent weldability using common methods, and superior corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
As a medium-sized bar, this 1" thick by 3" wide profile provides substantial rigidity and surface area for a variety of applications. It is frequently used for structural bracing, machine ways, wear strips, and base plates for mounting heavy equipment. Its dimensions make it easy to drill, tap, and mill for custom components requiring strength and durability.
