Value Collection 32000622 Aluminum Hex Bar 1in X 24in 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32000622 is an aluminum hexagon bar machined from 6061 alloy, measuring 1 inch across flats and 24 inches in length. Alloy 6061 is a heat-treatable aluminum known for good machinability, corrosion resistance, and moderate-to-high strength, making it a reliable raw stock material for fabrication and machining operations. At 5.96 pounds, this bar offers solid mass for its size and is suitable for turning, milling, and other stock-removal processes. Machinists, fabricators, and toolmakers are the primary installers and end users of this material.

This hexagon bar is suited for general industrial and trade fabrication applications where a hex cross-section is required. Common uses include producing bolts, standoffs, shaft components, fittings, and custom fasteners on a lathe or mill. The hex profile provides a ready-made gripping surface and eliminates the need for external hex forming. This bar is appropriate for light manufacturing shops, maintenance and repair operations, and prototype fabrication environments.

Key Features

• Alloy 6061 aluminum for good machinability and corrosion resistance
• Hexagon profile provides built-in wrench flats for ease of secondary machining and use
• 1 inch width across flats suits standard tooling and fixturing
• 24-inch length offers generous stock for multiple parts per bar
• Lightweight relative to steel alternatives while maintaining structural integrity

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose raw stock hexagon bar for fabrication and machining applications requiring 6061 aluminum in a 1-inch-across-flats hex profile.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of aluminum bar stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate cutting tools rated for non-ferrous metals. Secure the workpiece firmly in a chuck or vise before any cutting operation. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when handling or cutting bar stock. Deburr all cut edges before handling or assembly.
