- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability & Weldability
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It conforms to ASTM B211 and provides superior corrosion resistance, good formability, and excellent joining characteristics. Its balance of properties makes it one of the most widely used aluminum alloys for general-purpose fabrication.
As a large diameter bar, this 2-1/2" round is perfectly suited for manufacturing heavy-duty shafts, large custom fixtures, forging stock for industrial components, and robust rollers for material handling systems where strength and straightness are critical for performance.
