Value Collection 32012379 Aluminum Bar 6061 72x3x0.375 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32012379 is an aluminum rectangular bar machined from Alloy 6061, a versatile heat-treatable aluminum alloy widely used in structural, fabrication, and industrial applications. Measuring 72 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 0.375 inches thick, this bar ships as a single piece at a weight of 8 pounds. Alloy 6061 offers good corrosion resistance, machinability, and weldability, making it a reliable choice for general-purpose metalwork. Length tolerance is plus or minus 0.250 inches. Machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and millwrights regularly work with this profile in shop and field settings.

This aluminum rectangular bar is suited for a broad range of fabrication and light structural tasks including brackets, frames, supports, jigs, fixtures, and machine components. It is commonly used in commercial and industrial facilities, HVAC equipment fabrication, electrical panel support structures, and plumbing or mechanical room builds where a lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal stock is needed. The flat rectangular profile allows straightforward cutting, drilling, and welding without additional surface preparation in most applications.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum rectangular bar stock suitable for structural, fabrication, and industrial applications where Alloy 6061 aluminum is specified.

Installation Notes

Standard metalworking hand tools and power tools rated for aluminum are appropriate for cutting, drilling, and finishing this bar. When welding, use filler alloys compatible with 6061 aluminum per AWS guidelines. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or machining metal bar stock. Secure the workpiece firmly before any cutting or drilling operation to prevent movement.
