Value Collection 05207824 Aluminum Bar 6061 72x5x0.625 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05207824 is a solid aluminum rectangular bar machined from 6061 alloy stock. It measures 72 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 0.625 inches thick, with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches. Weighing 40.4 pounds, this bar is suited for structural fabrication, framing, mounting builds, and general metalworking applications. Alloy 6061 is a widely used, heat-treatable aluminum grade that offers good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance. It is a standard choice for trade fabricators, millwrights, and industrial contractors who need a reliable, workable aluminum flat stock in a full 6-foot length.

This rectangular bar is appropriate for light structural and fabrication work across commercial and industrial settings. Typical applications include support brackets, equipment frames, skid components, and custom mounting structures. Its 5-inch width and 0.625-inch thickness make it suitable for moderate load-bearing and rigid panel applications. Metalworkers, maintenance technicians, and fabrication shops will find this bar useful as a ready-to-cut flat stock for both one-off builds and small production runs.

Key Features

• 6061 aluminum alloy for good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance
• Full 72-inch (6-foot) length provides flexibility for cut-to-size fabrication
• 5-inch width and 0.625-inch thickness support moderate structural applications
• Length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches for standard fabrication fitment
• 40.4-pound unit weight reflects solid, full-length flat stock construction

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat bar stock suitable for structural fabrication, framing, and mounting applications requiring 6061 aluminum in a 72 x 5 x 0.625 inch profile.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding of 6061 aluminum should be performed by qualified fabricators using tools and methods appropriate for aluminum alloy stock. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or machining. Deburr all cut edges before assembly to prevent injury and ensure proper fitment. Consult applicable structural and fabrication codes when using this material in load-bearing or safety-critical installations.
