Value Collection 32012239 Aluminum Bar 72x2x3/16 in 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32012239 is a 6061 aluminum rectangular bar measuring 72 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 3/16 inch thick. Alloy 6061 is a general-purpose structural aluminum known for its good strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and machinability. This bar weighs approximately 3 pounds and ships as a single piece. It is commonly cut, drilled, welded, or formed to spec in fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications. Machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and general contractors working in metal fabrication or structural repair rely on stock bar like this for custom brackets, frames, supports, and similar work.

This aluminum bar suits a wide range of light structural and fabrication uses in both commercial and industrial settings. Typical applications include custom structural supports, machine guards, frame components, mounting plates, and repair stock. The flat rectangular profile is easy to cut with standard metal-cutting saws and drill presses. The 6061 alloy responds well to both MIG and TIG welding and accepts standard aluminum-compatible coatings and anodizing treatments.

Key Features

• Alloy 6061 aluminum provides a solid balance of strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance
• Full 72-inch length offers maximum flexibility for cut-to-length fabrication work
• Flat rectangular profile simplifies drilling, cutting, and forming operations
• 3 pound unit weight makes handling and positioning straightforward on the job
• Length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inch suits most structural and fabrication fit-up requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum bar stock suitable for fabrication, repair, and structural support applications across manufacturing, construction, and maintenance trades.

Installation Notes

Metal fabrication trades including machinists, welders, and millwrights typically work with this bar stock. Use appropriate metal-cutting blades and eye protection when cutting to length. Deburr all cut edges before fitting or welding. Follow applicable local codes and material safety practices when welding or coating aluminum alloys.
