Value Collection 32012155 Aluminum Square Bar 3x72 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32012155 is a solid aluminum square bar measuring 3 inches wide by 3 inches tall by 72 inches long, machined from Alloy 6061 stock. Weighing approximately 65 pounds, this bar is suited for structural fabrication, machining, welding fixtures, and general metalworking applications. The 6061 alloy designation indicates a heat-treatable aluminum with good corrosion resistance, moderate-to-high strength, and excellent machinability. A length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches is maintained. Fabricators, machinists, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers and end users of this bar stock.

This square bar is appropriate for use in fabrication shops, industrial maintenance settings, and custom manufacturing environments. Common applications include structural supports, brackets, frames, jigs, and machined components where a square cross-section profile is required. The 6061 alloy is compatible with standard MIG and TIG welding processes and accepts anodizing and other surface treatments. The 72-inch length provides a full 6-foot section, suitable for cutting down to multiple finished parts or using as a single long structural member.

Installation Notes

Handling and cutting of heavy bar stock should be performed by qualified fabricators or machinists using appropriate lifting equipment given the 65-pound weight of this bar. Use carbide-tipped saw blades or end mills rated for aluminum when cutting or machining. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before any cutting, drilling, or welding operation. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear appropriate personal protective equipment when working with aluminum bar stock.
