Value Collection 02255883 Aluminum Plate 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02255883 is a solid aluminum plate manufactured from Alloy 6061, a versatile, heat-treatable aluminum alloy widely used in structural, fabrication, and industrial applications. The plate measures 24 inches long by 24 inches wide and 1 inch thick, with a length tolerance of 0.250 inches. Weighing 60 pounds, it provides substantial material stock suitable for machining, welding, or load-bearing applications. Machinists, fabricators, and industrial maintenance professionals work with this plate for both OEM and custom part production.

Alloy 6061 aluminum plate is commonly specified for structural components, tooling plates, fixtures, frames, and general fabrication work in manufacturing, aerospace support, and maintenance environments. Its combination of good corrosion resistance, machinability, and weldability makes it a standard choice across light industrial and heavy fabrication shops. This flat plate format allows for straightforward layout, cutting, and secondary machining operations directly from stock.

Key Features

• Alloy 6061 aluminum construction offers good strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability
• 24 inches x 24 inches square footprint provides full-coverage stock for large-format parts or multiple smaller cuts
• 1 inch thickness delivers substantial section depth for structural or tooling applications
• Length tolerance of 0.250 inches consistent with standard mill stock specifications
• 60-pound plate weight reflects full solid cross-section with no voids or laminations
• UNSPSC Code 30102206 for procurement and catalog classification compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat stock plate for machining, fabrication, and structural applications where Alloy 6061 aluminum material is specified.

Installation Notes

Handling a 60-pound aluminum plate requires appropriate lifting technique or mechanical assistance to prevent injury. Secure the plate firmly on a stable work surface or fixture before cutting, drilling, or machining. Use tooling and feeds appropriate for aluminum alloys to prevent galling or work-hardening at cut edges. Follow applicable shop safety and OSHA material handling guidelines during processing.
