Part#: AHX6112 Category
DESCRIPTION

A 1/2″ Aluminum Hexagon Metal Bar 6061-T6 is a precision-extruded aluminum bar featuring a six-sided (hexagonal) shape with a 1/2 inch width measured across the flats. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, this material is one of the most widely used heat-treated aluminum grades due to its excellent balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability.

Key Features:

  • Material: 6061-T6 aluminum (solution heat-treated and artificially aged)

  • Shape: Hexagon

  • Size: 1/2 inch across flats

  • Temper: T6 (high strength and hardness)

  • Lightweight yet strong

  • Excellent corrosion resistance

  • Good weldability and machinability

  • Smooth surface finish suitable for fabrication or anodizing

Mechanical Properties (Typical):

  • Tensile Strength: ~45,000 psi

  • Yield Strength: ~40,000 psi

  • Brinell Hardness: ~95

Common Applications:

  • Fasteners and custom bolts

  • Shafts and spacers

  • Structural components

  • Automotive and marine parts

  • Aerospace fittings

  • Decorative or architectural projects

6061-T6 aluminum hex bar is ideal for machining projects where strength, weight reduction, and corrosion resistance are important. Its hexagonal shape makes it especially suitable for parts requiring a wrench grip or precision-fitting components.

 

* 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.
