Value Collection 02255818 Aluminum Plate Alloy 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02255818 is a flat aluminum plate cut from Alloy 6061 stock, measuring 8 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 0.75 inches thick. Alloy 6061 is a heat-treatable, medium-to-high-strength aluminum alloy widely used in structural and fabrication applications. It offers good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance, making it a reliable choice for brackets, fixtures, frames, and general-purpose metalwork. At 5.4 pounds, this plate is solid enough for load-bearing fabrication tasks while remaining easy to cut, drill, and tap with standard metalworking equipment.

This plate suits a wide range of trade and industrial fabrication scenarios, including HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing support structures, electrical panel brackets, and general shop fabrication. It is sold individually and is appropriate for machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and trades professionals who need a ready-cut aluminum blank that can be worked to final dimensions on site or in the shop.

Key Features

• Alloy 6061 aluminum offers a strong strength-to-weight ratio with good corrosion resistance
• Ready-cut at 8 inches x 8 inches x 0.75 inches — no rough sawing required before secondary operations
• Length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches per manufacturer specification
• Machines, drills, taps, and welds cleanly using standard tooling
• Suitable for structural brackets, mounting plates, and general fabrication builds

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum stock plate for fabrication use across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and industrial maintenance applications where a flat 6061 aluminum blank is required.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, or welding this plate should be performed by qualified fabricators or trade technicians using appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and gloves. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or fixture before machining operations to prevent movement. When welding 6061 aluminum, use a compatible filler alloy and follow standard AWS welding procedures. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and to ensure flush mating surfaces.
