- 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 versatile mechanical properties. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve its optimal strength of 45,000 PSI. This process makes it significantly stronger than non-heat-treatable grades while retaining good formability and excellent weldability, all compliant with ASTM B211 standards.
As a medium-width bar, this 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" size is perfectly suited for structural bracing, support brackets, equipment mounting plates, and machine ways. Its flat, uniform surfaces and sharp corners make it easy to drill, tap, and machine, providing a reliable foundation for fabricated assemblies and custom parts requiring a high strength-to-weight ratio.
