- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B211 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability & Weldability
6061-T6 aluminum is a precipitation-hardened alloy containing magnesium and silicon, known for its high strength, good workability, and excellent weldability. This square bar form is produced to tight dimensional tolerances per ASTM B211. Its T6 temper signifies it has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged, achieving a tensile strength of 45,000 PSI and great corrosion resistance.
As a medium-sized bar, the 1-5/8" square profile is robust enough for structural applications like equipment frames, support brackets, and braces. Its excellent machinability also makes it a preferred choice for creating custom jigs, fixtures, and larger machined components where dimensional stability is crucial.
