Value Collection 32012312 Aluminum Bar 6061 72in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32012312 is a solid aluminum rectangular bar made from 6061 alloy, a general-purpose structural aluminum known for its good strength-to-weight ratio, machinability, and corrosion resistance. The bar measures 72 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and 0.3125 inches thick, and weighs approximately 3 pounds. It carries a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches. This stock material is used by machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance trades as raw stock for brackets, frames, supports, and custom components across industrial, commercial, and light structural applications.

This bar is suited for applications where a lightweight, corrosion-resistant structural material is required. Common uses include fabricating support brackets, gussets, jigs, slides, and equipment frames. Alloy 6061 responds well to milling, drilling, tapping, and welding, making it a practical choice for job-shop and in-field fabrication work. It is appropriate for indoor and outdoor environments where aluminum is preferred over steel for weight reduction or corrosion considerations.

Installation Notes

This product is raw bar stock intended for cutting, machining, or fabricating to final dimensions before use. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or machining aluminum. Use tooling rated for non-ferrous metals and apply appropriate cutting fluid when milling or drilling to extend tool life and improve finish. Deburr all cut edges before handling or installation in assemblies.
