- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance & Machinability
6061-T6 is a precipitation-hardened aluminum alloy containing magnesium and silicon as its primary alloying elements. This round bar is produced to meet ASTM B211 standards, undergoing solution heat treatment and artificial aging to achieve its T6 temper. This process results in high strength, good workability, and excellent weldability, making it one of the most versatile aluminum grades available.
As a large-diameter bar, this 2-5/8" size is perfectly suited for manufacturing heavy-duty shafts, rollers, large machined base plates, and forging stock. Its robust cross-section provides the necessary strength and stability for structural components in industrial equipment, marine hardware, and automotive applications.
