- 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, known for its high strength-to-weight ratio. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal mechanical properties. Conforming to ASTM B211, it provides excellent corrosion resistance and weldability, making it one of the most widely used aluminum alloys for general-purpose structural and fabrication applications.
As a small profile bar, this 7/8" x 3/16" size is particularly well-suited for lightweight applications where space is limited but strength is required. It is frequently used for creating custom mounting brackets, support straps for enclosures, precision shims, and constructing small, rigid frames for machinery or electronic equipment.
