Value Collection 32000598 Aluminum Hex Bar 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32000598 is a 6061 aluminum hexagon bar measuring 0.5 inches width across flats and 24 inches in length. This hex bar stock is used for machining, fabrication, and general industrial applications where a ready-to-cut aluminum section is needed. Alloy 6061 offers good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance, making it a practical choice for structural and mechanical components. At 1.49 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle on the shop floor or job site. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this material.

This hex bar is suited for a wide range of trade and industrial applications including the fabrication of fittings, fasteners, standoffs, spacers, shafts, and custom mechanical parts. Its hexagonal profile provides built-in wrench flat geometry, which is useful when producing bolt-style or grip-oriented components. Typical installation scenarios include light manufacturing, maintenance and repair operations, and custom fabrication shops. The 24-inch length provides sufficient stock for multiple short-run parts from a single piece.
