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.

* 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”. This does NOT apply to Cut To Size items. Those will be +.125″, -0.00″ tolerances.
