Value Collection 05207816 Aluminum Rectangular Bar 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05207816 is a solid aluminum rectangular bar stock machined from 6061 alloy, one of the most widely used structural aluminum grades in industrial and fabrication work. This bar measures 36 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 0.625 inches (5/8 inch) thick, with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches. Weighing approximately 20.7 pounds, it is suited for applications requiring a balance of strength, machinability, and corrosion resistance. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance professionals use this bar for structural components, brackets, fixtures, and general shop fabrication tasks.

This aluminum bar stock is appropriate for both light industrial and commercial fabrication environments. Its 6061 alloy composition provides good weldability and moderate-to-high strength, making it a common choice for structural frames, jigs, machine bases, and support components. It works well with standard milling, drilling, and sawing operations. Shop technicians and metal fabricators typically select this size for projects requiring a wide, flat aluminum section with manageable weight and reliable dimensional consistency.

Key Features

• 6061 aluminum alloy construction for strong, corrosion-resistant performance in structural and fabrication applications
• 36-inch length (3 feet) provides a full working blank for cutting to required dimensions
• 5-inch width and 0.625-inch thickness offer a flat, substantial cross-section for brackets, plates, and structural members
• Length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches standard for bar stock
• Machines cleanly with standard metal-cutting tools including mills, drill presses, and band saws

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum bar stock suitable for structural fabrication, machine shop work, and maintenance repair operations where 6061 aluminum alloy material is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining operations on aluminum bar stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and gloves, when cutting or grinding aluminum. Secure the workpiece firmly before any cutting operation to prevent movement. Deburr all cut edges before handling or assembling into finished components.
