- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B308 Certified
- 45,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Corrosion Resistance
6061-T6 aluminum channel is a structural extrusion made from a heat-treatable alloy of magnesium and silicon, ensuring high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. Conforming to ASTM B308, its T6 temper is achieved through solution heat treatment and artificial aging. The C-shaped profile provides rigidity, making it a reliable choice for load-bearing applications where weight is a concern.
As a large profile, this 6" channel is specified for heavy structural applications, building frames, industrial supports, and equipment bases. Its combination of width and strength allows it to serve as a primary support member in machinery, conveyor systems, and large-scale architectural projects.
