Value Collection 05207766 Aluminum Bar 36x5x0.375 in 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05207766 is a 6061 aluminum rectangular bar measuring 36 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 3/8 inch (0.375 inches) thick. Alloy 6061 is a structural-grade aluminum known for good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance, making it a standard choice across fabrication, manufacturing, and maintenance applications. At 6.75 pounds per bar, this stock piece suits bench work, fixture building, and structural framing tasks. The length tolerance is plus or minus 0.250 inches. Machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance trades working with aluminum stock will recognize this as a dependable general-purpose cut bar ready for secondary operations.

This bar is used in general metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial manufacturing environments. Common applications include jig and fixture construction, structural supports, mounting plates, brackets, and custom parts requiring flat aluminum stock. The 6061 alloy designation indicates it is heat-treatable and well-suited for applications where moderate-to-high strength and a good surface finish after machining are required. It is sold as a single bar per package with a minimum order quantity of one.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and forming should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using tooling rated for aluminum alloys. Secure the workpiece firmly before any cutting or drilling operations to prevent movement. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when working with metal stock. Deburr all cut edges before handling or installing in assemblies.
