- 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, solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve its high strength. Conforming to ASTM B211, this grade offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio, excellent weldability, and good machinability. Its corrosion resistance makes it suitable for a wide range of general-purpose structural and fabrication projects where reliable performance is critical.
As a large-diameter bar, this 6-1/2" round is specifically suited for manufacturing heavy-duty shafts, rollers, large hydraulic manifolds, and structural support posts. It also serves as robust forging stock for creating custom, high-strength components for industrial equipment and aerospace applications.
