Value Collection 02629467 Aluminum Round Rod 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02629467 is a solid aluminum round rod machined from 6061-T6 alloy, one of the most widely used structural aluminum grades in industrial and fabrication work. It measures 1-3/4 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length, with a length tolerance of 0.25 inches. At 8.76 pounds, this rod is suited for applications requiring a balance of strength, machinability, and corrosion resistance. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians stock this alloy for its consistent temper and predictable material behavior during cutting, drilling, and threading operations.

This round rod is a standard stock item for machine shops, MRO facilities, and fabrication operations handling structural components, fixtures, tooling bases, and custom parts. The 6061-T6 temper indicates the material has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged, resulting in improved tensile strength compared to annealed grades. It is commonly used in light structural frames, shafts, spacers, and general-purpose machined components across industrial, HVAC equipment, and mechanical assembly environments.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 aluminum alloy provides good tensile strength and corrosion resistance
• 1-3/4 inch diameter suits a range of turned, milled, and drilled part applications
• 36 inch length with a 0.25 inch length tolerance for consistent stock cutting
• Lightweight at 8.76 pounds for ease of handling and transport
• T6 temper achieved through solution heat treatment and artificial aging for improved mechanical properties

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum round rod stock for use in fabrication, machining, and maintenance applications requiring 6061-T6 alloy in a 1-3/4 inch diameter bar form.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and machining of aluminum round rod should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Secure the workpiece properly in a lathe chuck or vise before any cutting operation. Deburr all cut ends before handling or installation to avoid injury or component damage. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear appropriate PPE when machining aluminum.
