Value Collection 02629350 Aluminum Round Rod 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02629350 is a 6061-T6 aluminum round rod measuring 1-1/8 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length. Alloy 6061-T6 is a heat-treated, medium-to-high-strength aluminum alloy widely used in structural, mechanical, and fabrication applications. The T6 temper designation indicates solution heat treatment followed by artificial aging, resulting in improved tensile strength and hardness compared to annealed aluminum. This rod is suited for machining, welding, and general fabrication work across industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing settings. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance tradespeople are the primary users of this stock material.

This aluminum round rod is appropriate for use in general-purpose fabrication projects, custom bracket and component manufacturing, repair work, and prototype development. Its 6061-T6 alloy designation makes it a common choice in applications where a combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability is required. Typical install and use scenarios include machine shops, maintenance facilities, HVAC equipment fabrication, and industrial production environments. The 12-inch length is a standard short-stock size suited for small-run jobs and bench work.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 temper provides improved tensile strength over non-heat-treated aluminum alloys
• 1-1/8 inch diameter round stock suitable for turning, drilling, and milling operations
• 12-inch length with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.2500 inches
• Aluminum construction offers natural corrosion resistance without additional coating
• Lightweight at 1.12 pounds, making it easy to handle and transport

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum round rod stock compatible with standard machining and fabrication applications requiring 6061-T6 alloy material in a 1-1/8 inch diameter round form.

Installation Notes

This material is worked by machinists and fabricators using standard metal-cutting tools including lathes, mills, band saws, and drill presses. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when cutting or machining. Secure the workpiece firmly before any cutting or drilling operation. Deburr all cut edges before handling or assembly to prevent injury and ensure proper fit.
