DESCRIPTION

A 2-1/2″ aluminum round bar 6061-T6 is a solid cylindrical rod made from 6061 aluminum alloy, with a diameter of 2-1/2 inches (2.500″). This size is typically used for large structural components, heavy-duty mechanical parts, and precision machined parts where a high level of strength and durability is needed. It combines the strength of aluminum with its lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and engineering applications.

📐 Basic Specifications:

  • Diameter: 2-1/2 inches (2.500″ or ~63.50 mm)
  • Material: Aluminum Alloy 6061
  • Temper: T6 (solution heat-treated and artificially aged)
  • Shape: Solid round bar (not hollow)

🧪 6061-T6 Aluminum Properties:

  • Tensile Strength: ~45,000 psi
  • Yield Strength: ~40,000 psi
  • Hardness: Brinell ~95
  • Corrosion Resistance: Excellent — highly resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for marine, outdoor, and industrial applications
  • Machinability: Excellent — can be easily drilled, cut, milled, and turned
  • Weldability: Excellent — can be welded using MIG or TIG processes

🔧 Common Uses for 2-1/2″ Round Bar:

  • Shafts, spindles, and axles for large and heavy-duty machinery
  • Pins, standoffs, and dowels
  • Heavy-duty structural rods or support beams
  • Custom machined parts for high-stress mechanical assemblies
  • Tooling, fixtures, and die components
  • Automotive, aerospace, and marine applications
  • Heavy-duty DIY projects, large-scale prototypes, and industrial fabrication
* 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.
