- 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, offering a versatile combination of mechanical properties. The T6 temper indicates it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged to its peak strength. Conforming to ASTM B211, it provides good machinability, excellent weldability, and superior corrosion resistance, making it one of the most widely used aluminum alloys for general-purpose structural and fabrication applications.
As a large-format bar, this 6" wide by 5/8" thick profile is ideal for applications requiring substantial surface area and rigidity. Its dimensions are perfectly suited for fabricating machinery base plates, heavy structural supports, die components, and large mounting brackets where a lightweight yet strong, flat, and stable material is essential for performance and longevity.
