- 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, known for its versatile mechanical properties. The T6 temper signifies it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve optimal strength. Conforming to ASTM B211, this grade combines 45,000 PSI tensile strength with good workability and excellent resistance to corrosion, making it a reliable choice for diverse fabrication projects.
With a medium 2-1/2" width, this flat bar is perfectly suited for applications requiring robust support without excessive weight. Common uses include structural bracing, base plates for machinery, custom mounting brackets, wear strips, and general fabrication where strength and stability are critical.
