- 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, known for its outstanding mechanical properties and versatility. This square bar is manufactured to ASTM B211 standards, ensuring consistent strength, dimensional accuracy, and finish. Its T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve its high strength, making it one of the most widely used structural aluminum grades.
As a large-profile bar, this 2-1/2" square stock is ideal for applications requiring substantial strength and rigidity. Common uses include heavy-duty structural frames, machine base plates, large jigs and fixtures, and support columns where weight savings over steel is a critical design factor without compromising on performance.
