- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B308 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Machinability
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon as its major alloying elements. This grade offers a superb combination of high strength-to-weight ratio, good toughness, and excellent corrosion resistance. Conforming to ASTM B308, this channel's T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve its maximum strength, making it one of the most widely used aluminum alloys for structural purposes.
As a large profile, this 4" x 4" x 0.375" channel provides substantial structural support. Its size is ideal for heavy-duty applications like building frames, industrial supports, main structural members for truck beds and trailers, and robust equipment bases requiring rigidity and durability.
