Price range: $4.29 through $45.56

DESCRIPTION

A 3/8″ aluminum round bar 6061-T6 is a solid cylindrical rod made of high-strength aluminum alloy. Here’s the full breakdown:

📏 Basic Specs:

  • Diameter: 3/8 inch (0.375 inches or ~9.525 mm)
  • Shape: Round Bar (solid, not hollow)
  • Material: Aluminum 6061
  • Temper: T6 (heat-treated and artificially aged for strength)

🧪 6061-T6 Aluminum Properties:

  • Strength: One of the most commonly used aluminum alloys due to its high strength-to-weight ratio.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Very good, especially in marine and outdoor environments.
  • Machinability: Excellent – easy to drill, cut, and thread.
  • Weldability: Also excellent – popular for TIG and MIG welding.
  • T6 Temper: This means it’s solution heat-treated and artificially aged to reach peak strength.

🔩 Common Uses for a 3/8″ Round Bar:

  • Shafts or axles for small machines or devices
  • Structural supports in light frameworks
  • Pins, rods, spacers, dowels
  • Machined parts or custom tools
  • Automotive or aerospace brackets/components
  • DIY, hobbyist, and prototype work

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.
