- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance & Machinability
6061-T6 aluminum is a versatile, precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon. In the T6 temper, it is solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve a high strength-to-weight ratio and good mechanical properties. It conforms to ASTM B211 and exhibits excellent weldability and corrosion resistance, making it one of the most widely used aluminum alloys for general-purpose applications.
The large 6-inch diameter of this bar makes it an excellent choice for substantial applications. It is frequently specified as forging stock for custom components, machined into heavy-duty shafts and rollers for industrial equipment, or used as structural support columns and base plates.
