Value Collection 32012437 Aluminum Rectangular Bar 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32012437 is a 6061 aluminum rectangular bar measuring 72 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 0.5 inches thick. Alloy 6061 is a general-purpose structural aluminum known for good machinability, corrosion resistance, and weldability. At 14 pounds, this bar is suited for fabrication work where a balance of strength and workability is required. The length tolerance is plus or minus 0.250 inches. It is commonly worked with standard metal fabrication tools and is handled by machinists, fabricators, pipefitters, and general contractors on commercial and industrial projects.

This bar is used in a wide range of structural and mechanical fabrication applications including brackets, frames, supports, enclosures, and mounting hardware. The 6061 alloy is a standard choice for projects requiring moderate-to-high strength with good finishing characteristics. It is appropriate for both shop fabrication and field fitting in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction trades where aluminum stock is specified for custom component fabrication or structural support work.
