- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Workability & Corrosion Resistance
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, known for its versatile mechanical properties. The T6 temper signifies it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal strength. Conforming to ASTM B211, this material provides a valuable combination of high strength, excellent weldability, good machinability, and superior resistance to corrosion, making it a staple for general fabrication.
As a medium-width bar, this 2-3/4" x 1-1/4" size is ideal for applications requiring more substance than smaller straps but less bulk than large plates. Common uses include structural bracing for frames, machine ways for guiding components, wear strips for high-friction areas, and mounting brackets for industrial equipment.
