Value Collection 05207782 Aluminum Bar 36x5x0.5 in 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05207782 is a 6061 aluminum rectangular bar measuring 36 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 0.5 inches thick. Alloy 6061 is a heat-treatable, general-purpose aluminum alloy known for its good strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and machinability. At 9.5 pounds per piece, this bar is suited for structural fabrication, brackets, frames, and general machining stock. It is commonly stocked by fabrication shops, machine shops, and maintenance contractors who need ready-to-cut flat bar material for trade and industrial applications.

This bar is appropriate for a wide range of fabrication and repair tasks in commercial and industrial environments. Typical applications include custom brackets, support plates, enclosure frames, HVAC equipment supports, electrical panel backing, and general structural components. The 36-inch length provides a practical starting cut for most bench fabrication work. The length carries a tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches, which is standard for mill-cut bar stock.
