- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability & Weldability
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, delivering high strength, good workability, and excellent corrosion resistance. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal mechanical properties. Conforming to ASTM B211, this flat bar is a fundamental material for structural applications where a high strength-to-weight ratio is required.
The small 1/2" x 3/8" cross-section is ideal for creating lightweight yet strong components. It is commonly used for fabricating custom mounting brackets, support straps, shims, gussets, and small framework where precise dimensions and reliable performance are essential in machinery, automotive, and architectural builds.
