6061-T6 Aluminum Flat Bar - 3/16" x 3"
This 3/16" x 3" 6061-T6 Aluminum Flat Bar is a versatile, heat-treatable structural alloy offering a superb combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. Conforming to ASTM B211, it is ideal for structural frames, brackets, and machined components. In stock Los Angeles.
- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Corrosion Resistance
6061-T6 is a precipitation-hardened aluminum alloy containing magnesium and silicon as its primary alloying elements. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve its optimal strength. Conforming to ASTM B211, it provides an excellent combination of 45,000 PSI tensile strength, good formability, and superior corrosion resistance, making it one of the most widely used aluminum alloys.
As a medium-width bar, this 3-inch wide flat stock is perfectly suited for structural bracing, machine ways, wear strips, and base plates for equipment. Its rectangular profile provides a stable, easy-to-machine surface for fabrication projects requiring strong yet lightweight components.
