.250″ Aluminum Plate 6061-T651 – Structural Aluminum Plate

Price range: $99.25 through $688.99

Part#: APL61250 Category
DESCRIPTION

.250″ Aluminum Plate 6061-T651 is a high-strength heat-treated aluminum plate designed for structural, industrial, aerospace, and precision machining applications. Manufactured from 6061-T651 aluminum alloy, this plate offers an excellent combination of strength, machinability, corrosion resistance, and weldability, making it one of the most versatile aluminum materials available.

The T651 temper indicates that the plate has been solution heat-treated, stress-relieved by stretching, and artificially aged. This process improves dimensional stability and reduces internal stress, making it an excellent choice for CNC machining and precision fabrication.

With a .250″ (1/4″) thickness, this aluminum plate provides an ideal balance of strength, rigidity, and lightweight performance for a wide variety of structural and manufacturing applications.

* Prices are subject to change without notice due to fluctuations in the metals market. | All “Value Length” and “Value Pack” item measurements are subject to standard mill tolerances. | Products may be manufactured several thousandths of an inch over or under the stated dimensions and still be within acceptable mill tolerances. All bar, tube, structural, pipe, sheet, plate, and similar products sold on our website are custom cut to the lengths and sizes selected by the customer at the time of purchase. These are not stocked as pre-cut items. Because each order is cut specifically to customer specifications, all cut materials are considered custom products and are not eligible for cancellation, return, or exchange once production has begun. Our standard cutting tolerances are:

  • Length: +0.125″ / -0.062″
  • During the cutting process, the saw blade removes approximately 1/16″ (kerf) of material. This is a normal part of the manufacturing process and is already included within the stated cutting tolerances.
