- 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, known for its high strength-to-weight ratio. The T6 temper signifies it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal mechanical properties. Conforming to ASTM B211, it delivers excellent weldability and corrosion resistance, making it one of the most versatile and widely used structural aluminum alloys.
As a medium-width bar, this 2" x 1-1/2" size is perfectly suited for structural bracing, support members for machinery, wear strips for industrial equipment, and base plates requiring a balance of strength and a manageable footprint. Its substantial thickness provides rigidity for demanding load-bearing applications.
