- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, delivering a strong, lightweight, and versatile material. Conforming to ASTM B211, its T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal strength. This process results in excellent weldability, good machinability, and superior resistance to corrosion, making it one of the most widely used aluminum alloys.
With a substantial 3-1/2" width, this large-format flat bar is engineered for robust applications. It is commonly used for fabricating heavy-duty structural components, equipment base plates, support brackets, and die components where strength and rigidity are essential for performance and safety.
