A 6″ aluminum round bar 6061-T6 is a solid cylindrical rod made from 6061 aluminum alloy, with a diameter of 6 inches (6.000″). This size is typically used for large-scale, heavy-duty structural, mechanical, and custom-machined components that require a high level of strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, while benefiting from aluminum’s relatively low weight.

📐 Basic Specifications:

• Diameter: 6 inches (6.000″ or ~152.40 mm)
• Material: Aluminum Alloy 6061
• Temper: T6 (solution heat-treated and artificially aged)
• Shape: Solid round bar (not hollow)

🧪 6061-T6 Aluminum Properties:

• Tensile Strength: ~45,000 psi
• Yield Strength: ~40,000 psi
• Hardness: Brinell ~95
• Corrosion Resistance: Excellent — highly resistant to corrosion, ideal for outdoor, marine, and industrial environments
• Machinability: Excellent — can be easily drilled, milled, cut, and turned
• Weldability: Excellent — works well with both MIG and TIG welding

🔧 Common Uses for 6″ Round Bar:

• Shafts, spindles, and axles for large, heavy-duty machinery and equipment
• Pins, standoffs, and dowels for robust mechanical assemblies
• Heavy-duty structural rods or support beams for industrial and construction projects
• Custom machined parts for high-stress or critical applications
• Tooling, fixtures, and die components
• Automotive, aerospace, and marine applications
• Heavy-duty DIY projects, large-scale prototypes, and industrial fabrication
