- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability & Corrosion Resistance
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, known for its versatile mechanical properties. Conforming to ASTM B211, this flat bar is heat-treated and artificially aged to the T6 temper, achieving a tensile strength of 45,000 PSI. This process provides a material that is strong, lightweight, weldable, and highly resistant to corrosion, making it a go-to for general fabrication.
The small 1/2" x 5/8" cross-section is perfectly suited for applications requiring precise, lightweight support. Common uses include fabricating custom mounting brackets, support straps for equipment, gussets for reinforcing frames, and precision shims where dimensional stability and low weight are critical.
