DESCRIPTION

6061 aluminum rectangular tube measuring 3″ x 6″ with a .250″ wall thickness is manufactured from heat-treated aluminum alloy and commonly produced to ASTM B221 specifications for structural and industrial fabrication applications. This heavy-wall rectangular tubing offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and weldability, making it suitable for structural frameworks, transportation equipment, marine applications, and custom fabrication projects. The 6061-T6/T6511 alloy provides dependable mechanical strength, durability, and machinability while maintaining lightweight performance for demanding environments.

Applications:
6061 aluminum rectangular tube is commonly used in structural, fabrication, and industrial applications, including:
• Structural frames and support systems
• Trailer fabrication and transportation equipment
• Machinery bases and industrial equipment supports
• Marine and outdoor structural applications
• Architectural fabrication and framework construction
• Automotive, aerospace, and recreational vehicle components
• Custom fabrication, racks, platforms, and heavy-duty assemblies

Advantages:
• High strength-to-weight ratio: Provides strong structural performance while remaining lightweight
• Corrosion resistant: Naturally resists rust and oxidation in outdoor and marine environments
• Excellent weldability: Suitable for MIG and TIG welding applications
• Easy to machine and fabricate: Can be cut, drilled, and formed for custom projects
• Heavy-wall durability: .250″ wall thickness supports demanding structural applications
• Versatile usage: Ideal for industrial, commercial, marine, and fabrication projects
• Clean mill finish: Smooth appearance suitable for exposed structural and decorative applications

Summary:
The 3″ x 6″ x .250″ wall 6061 aluminum rectangular tube is a durable, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant material solution designed for structural, industrial, and fabrication applications. Its heavy-wall construction, excellent weldability, and reliable strength make it an excellent choice for frames, supports, transportation equipment, marine structures, and custom fabrication projects requiring long-term durability and performance.

* Prices subject to change without notice due to the Metals Market fluctuations. | All ‘value length’ and ‘value pack’ item measurements are subject to a “mill tolerance”. | A product may be produced several thousandths of an inch, either over or under the stated thickness, and still be within “mill tolerance”. Since we cut the material specifically for your order, they follow these tolerances: Length: +0.125″ / -0.062” – Please note that during cutting, the blade removes about 1/16″ of material (kerf). This is a normal part of the process and is already considered within the stated tolerances.
