Value Collection 32000549 Aluminum Round Rod 6061-T6 24 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32000549 is a 6061-T6 aluminum round rod measuring 24 inches in length and weighing approximately 0.70 pounds. The 6061-T6 designation indicates a heat-treated, artificially aged alloy that delivers a strong combination of machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance. This rod is commonly cut to length and used as raw stock for fabricated components in mechanical, structural, and general trade applications. It ships as a single piece and is suited for shops, field fabricators, and maintenance trades that work with aluminum bar stock on a regular basis.

This round rod is appropriate for use in a wide range of trade and light industrial applications where a workable, weldable aluminum alloy is required. Typical uses include fabricating brackets, shafts, pins, spacers, and structural supports. It is well suited for HVAC equipment mounting hardware, plumbing support fabrication, electrical enclosure components, and general mechanical assemblies. The 6061-T6 temper makes it a reliable choice when both strength and ease of machining are priorities on the job.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 aluminum alloy provides good strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion
• 24-inch length with a stated length tolerance of 0.25 inches
• Machinable and weldable stock suitable for cutting, drilling, and turning operations
• Lightweight at approximately 0.70 pounds, reducing handling effort in the field
• Single-piece packaging allows for straightforward inventory and procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum round rod for use as raw stock in fabrication, repair, and maintenance applications across mechanical, structural, and trade disciplines.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, or machining should be performed with tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or working aluminum stock. Deburr all cut edges before installation in assemblies to prevent contact damage or injury. Follow applicable codes and project specifications when incorporating fabricated aluminum components into structural or mechanical systems.
