- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability & Corrosion Resistance
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, solution heat-treated and artificially aged for optimal strength. This process results in a versatile material with 45,000 PSI tensile strength, good machinability, and superior weldability. Its conformity to ASTM B211 makes it a reliable choice for a wide range of general-purpose structural and machining projects requiring durability.
As a large-diameter bar, this 3" round is perfectly suited for manufacturing heavy-duty shafts, large custom fittings, forging stock, rollers, and structural support columns where strength and light weight are critical design factors.
