Value Collection 02629400 Aluminum Round Rod 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02629400 is a solid aluminum round rod machined from 6061-T6 alloy stock. At 36 inches in length and 1-3/8 inches in diameter, this rod is a general-purpose bar stock suitable for fabrication, structural repair, and component machining. The 6061-T6 temper designation indicates the material has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged, resulting in good tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. Machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance technicians use this stock for shaft stock, brackets, spacers, pins, and custom fittings across industrial and light-commercial applications. The rod weighs approximately 5.25 pounds per length.

This aluminum round rod is suited for general fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and job-site use wherever a readily machinable aluminum bar stock is needed. Typical applications include turning on a lathe to produce round parts, cutting to shorter lengths for fastener stock or spacers, and use as structural members in lightweight assemblies. The 6061-T6 alloy is widely accepted in industrial, marine, and structural contexts due to its balance of strength and workability.

Key Features

• Alloy 6061-T6 aluminum — heat-treated for improved tensile strength and corrosion resistance
• 1-3/8 inch diameter provides material for a wide range of turned and machined parts
• 36-inch length with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.2500 inches
• Lightweight at 5.25 pounds per bar — easy to handle and transport
• Machinable, weldable, and anodizable for finished-part production
• Sold individually — minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6061-T6 aluminum round rod suitable for use in CNC machining, manual lathe work, general fabrication, and structural assembly applications where aluminum bar stock of this diameter and length is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and machining should be performed using tooling rated for aluminum alloys. Secure the rod firmly in a lathe chuck or vise before any cutting operation to prevent movement. When welding 6061-T6, be aware that the heat-affected zone will lose some of the temper-induced strength properties. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or machining.
