Value Collection 32012569 Aluminum Bar 72x1.5x1 in 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32012569 is a 6061 aluminum rectangular bar measuring 72 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and 1 inch thick. Alloy 6061 is a heat-treatable, medium-to-high strength aluminum alloy widely used in structural fabrication, machine components, and general metalworking. The bar ships at approximately 11 pounds and carries a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches. Machinists, fabricators, and welders rely on 6061 bar stock for projects that require a balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and workability. This bar is sold as a single piece and is ready to cut, drill, mill, or weld to spec.

This bar stock is suited for a wide range of industrial and trade applications including frames, brackets, supports, spacers, and custom machine parts. The 6061 alloy responds well to standard CNC machining operations and is compatible with MIG and TIG welding processes. Its corrosion resistance makes it appropriate for both indoor fabrication environments and light outdoor structural use. Typical users include maintenance machinists, millwrights, fabrication shops, and skilled tradespeople sourcing raw material for custom builds or repairs.

Key Features

• Alloy 6061 construction offers good strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance
• Full 72-inch length provides maximum flexibility for cut-to-length applications
• Length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches per standard bar stock practice
• Compatible with MIG welding, TIG welding, and standard CNC machining operations
• Ships as a single bar at approximately 11 pounds — no minimum beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as general-purpose 6061 aluminum rectangular bar stock for use in fabrication, machining, and structural applications where raw aluminum material is required.

Installation Notes

Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting, grinding, or machining aluminum bar stock. Secure the bar in a vise or fixture before any cutting or drilling operation. Consult applicable shop safety standards and, where structural use is intended, verify that the alloy grade and dimensions meet the load and code requirements of the application.
