- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance & Machinability
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, solution heat-treated and artificially aged to achieve its T6 temper. This process gives it a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. Conforming to ASTM B211, it is one of the most versatile aluminum alloys, known for its good machinability, formability, and excellent joining characteristics for welded assemblies.
As a large diameter bar, this 8-1/2" round is ideal for applications requiring substantial strength and rigidity. Common uses include heavy-duty shafts, large industrial rollers, forging stock for custom parts, and major structural components where weight savings over steel is a critical factor.
