Value Collection 02629574 Aluminum Round Rod 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02629574 is a solid aluminum round rod machined from 6061-T6 alloy stock. Measuring 3 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, this rod is a standard raw material used in fabrication, repair, and custom part production. The 6061-T6 temper designation indicates the material has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged, resulting in good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades keep this type of stock on hand for custom brackets, bushings, standoffs, and other components.

This aluminum round rod is suited for light to medium fabrication tasks in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The 3-inch diameter makes it appropriate for turning on a lathe or cutting to length for structural and non-structural applications. It ships as a single 1-foot length, making it practical for small-batch or one-off jobs where a full bar would be excess material. Shops and field techs needing a specific diameter of 6061-T6 aluminum stock will find this a direct fit for common machining setups.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 alloy: solution heat-treated and artificially aged for improved strength and machinability
• 3-inch diameter provides substantial cross-section for turned, milled, or drilled applications
• 12-inch length with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches
• Aluminum material offers natural corrosion resistance without additional coating
• Single-piece packaging suits low-quantity fabrication and repair jobs
• UNSPSC Code 30102406 for procurement and inventory classification

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 6061-T6 aluminum round rod for use in any fabrication, machining, or repair application requiring a 3-inch diameter aluminum stock at 12 inches in length.

Installation Notes

This is raw bar stock intended for machining, cutting, or fabrication prior to use. Machinists and fabricators should use appropriate cutting fluid and tooling rated for aluminum when turning or milling this rod. Secure workpieces properly in a lathe chuck or mill vise before cutting. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection when machining aluminum stock.
