Value Collection 05207394 Aluminum Bar 6061 12x2x1.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05207394 is a solid aluminum rectangular bar machined from Alloy 6061, a general-purpose aluminum alloy widely used across fabrication, machining, and structural applications. This bar measures 12 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 1.5 inches thick, with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches. At 3.6 pounds, it offers a practical combination of strength and machinability suitable for trade and industrial use. Alloy 6061 is known for its good corrosion resistance, weldability, and response to heat treating, making it a common stock material for custom brackets, spacers, frames, and mechanical components.

This rectangular bar is suited for use in fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and field manufacturing environments. It is appropriate for applications requiring a medium-strength aluminum stock that can be cut, drilled, milled, tapped, or welded on-site or in a shop setting. Typical uses include structural framing, mounting brackets, equipment bases, and custom hardware fabrication across industrial, commercial, and mechanical trade work.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum rectangular bar stock compatible with standard machining, welding, and fabrication workflows requiring Alloy 6061 aluminum in this size range.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, or machining should be performed with tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Deburr all cut edges before handling or installation to prevent injury and ensure clean fitment. When welding 6061 aluminum, use appropriate filler alloy and follow applicable AWS welding standards. Always verify dimensional fit against project tolerances before final fabrication.
