- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy with magnesium and silicon as its main alloying elements, delivering a versatile combination of high strength, good corrosion resistance, and excellent weldability. This flat bar conforms to ASTM B211 and its T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve its optimal strength properties, making it a go-to for general fabrication.
As a small-profile bar, this 5/16" x 3/4" size is particularly well-suited for creating lightweight brackets, support straps, shims, and small frame components where precision and moderate strength are key. Its flat, consistent surfaces are easy to drill, tap, and machine for custom parts.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a mill finish, characteristic of the T6 aging process. 6061 aluminum provides an excellent base for anodizing, which enhances corrosion resistance and allows for coloring. It can also be powder coated or polished. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Flat bar is measured by its Thickness (A) and its Width (B). Use calipers to accurately measure these two dimensions of the rectangular cross-section.
Example: To order this flat bar, specify "6061 Aluminum Flat Bar, 5/16" x 3/4" x 144" length".
