- 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, delivering a versatile combination of high strength, good workability, and excellent corrosion resistance. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged for maximum strength. Conforming to ASTM B211, it is one of the most widely used aluminum alloys for general-purpose structural and fabrication applications.
As a medium-sized bar, this 1" x 2-1/2" stock is perfectly suited for building structural bracing, support brackets for machinery, mounting plates, and general fabrication projects where strength and light weight are critical design factors.
