Value Collection 32000523 Aluminum Round Rod 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32000523 is a 6061-T6 aluminum round rod measuring 24 inches in length, supplied as a single-piece unit. Alloy 6061-T6 is a heat-treated wrought aluminum alloy known for its good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications across mechanical, structural, and industrial trades. The rod ships at approximately 0.25 pounds and carries a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches. Tradespeople and fabricators reach for this alloy when they need a general-purpose aluminum stock that machines cleanly and holds up in moderate-load environments.

This round rod is suited for use in a broad range of fabrication and repair scenarios, including HVAC equipment brackets, plumbing support hardware, electrical enclosure components, and general shop fabrication. Its 24-inch length makes it practical for bench cutting to custom lengths. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial applications where a corrosion-resistant, machinable aluminum stock is required.
