Value Collection 02629525 Aluminum Round Rod 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02629525 is a solid aluminum round rod machined from 6061-T6 alloy stock. It measures 2.25 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length, with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches. The 6061-T6 temper designation indicates the rod has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged, producing a strong, machinable bar stock suitable for structural and mechanical fabrication. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use this rod for shafts, pins, structural supports, and custom-fabricated components. The part ships as a single rod and weighs 14.7 pounds.

This aluminum round rod is suited for general industrial, commercial, and light structural fabrication applications. The 6061-T6 alloy is widely used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication operations where good corrosion resistance, weldability, and machinability are required. It is appropriate for use in fixtures, frames, brackets, and turned or milled mechanical parts. The rod can be cut to length, drilled, tapped, or welded using standard shop practices.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 aluminum alloy — solution heat-treated and artificially aged for improved strength and hardness
• 2.25-inch diameter provides substantial cross-section for structural and mechanical use
• 36-inch length with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches
• Solid round rod form ready for cutting, turning, milling, drilling, or tapping
• Good corrosion resistance and weldability characteristic of 6061-series aluminum
• Single-piece packaging — sold individually

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum round rod for use in fabrication, machining, and maintenance applications requiring 6061-T6 alloy bar stock in a 2.25-inch diameter, 36-inch length format.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using tooling rated for aluminum alloys. Secure the workpiece properly before any cutting or turning operation. When welding 6061-T6 aluminum, note that the heat-affected zone will lose T6 temper properties; re-heat treatment may be required for structural applications. Follow applicable shop safety practices and local codes when fabricating load-bearing components.
