- 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, offering a versatile combination of high strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal mechanical properties. Conforming to ASTM B211, it is one of the most widely used aluminum alloys for general-purpose structural applications.
As a medium-width bar, this 3" x 2" size is ideal for structural bracing, machine ways, wear strips, and mounting plates. Its substantial cross-section provides excellent rigidity and load-bearing capacity while remaining lightweight and easy to machine for custom parts and assemblies.
