- 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, offering a versatile blend of mechanical properties. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal strength. Compliant with ASTM B211, it provides excellent weldability and corrosion resistance, making it one of the most widely used aluminum alloys for structural fabrication.
As a large-format flat bar, this 3-1/2" width is suited for applications requiring significant surface area and structural integrity, such as equipment base plates, heavy-duty mounting brackets, structural support members, and components for dies and fixtures where stability is critical.
