- 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, making it one of the most widely used aluminum grades for general fabrication. The T6 temper signifies it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to reach its optimal strength. This process results in a material that is strong, lightweight, and easily welded, machined, and finished, conforming to ASTM B211 standards.
As a large-format flat bar, this 5" x 2" stock provides substantial structural integrity and dimensional stability. It is ideal for applications requiring a significant cross-section, such as heavy equipment base plates, large jigs and fixtures, structural supports in building construction, and main frame components for industrial machinery.
