Value Collection 02629541 Aluminum Round Rod 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02629541 is a solid aluminum round rod machined from 6061-T6 alloy, measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length. The 6061-T6 temper designation indicates the alloy has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged, resulting in a strong, corrosion-resistant bar stock suitable for structural and mechanical applications. At 18 pounds, this rod is sized for demanding fabrication work. Machinists, welders, and fabricators use this bar stock for shafts, pins, structural supports, and custom components across industrial and commercial settings.

This aluminum round rod is suited for use in general fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments where a medium-to-large diameter alloy rod is required. The 6061-T6 alloy is commonly specified for structural members, machine parts, and frames requiring a balance of strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance. The 36-inch length provides a manageable workpiece for lathe operations, milling, or cut-to-length applications.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 aluminum alloy — solution heat-treated and artificially aged for enhanced mechanical strength
• 2.5-inch diameter provides substantial cross-section for load-bearing or high-material-removal machining
• 36-inch (3-foot) standard length compatible with common lathe and milling setups
• Length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches as specified
• Corrosion-resistant alloy suitable for both indoor and outdoor fabrication applications
• 18-pound weight consistent with solid 2.5-inch diameter 6061 rod at this length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension 6061-T6 aluminum round rod suitable for general machining, fabrication, and structural applications where 2.5-inch diameter alloy rod stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, or machining this rod should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate cutting tools rated for aluminum alloy stock. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise, chuck, or fixture before any material removal to prevent movement. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes for material handling of heavy stock at 18 pounds.
