6061 T6 Aluminum Hex Bar
6061 aluminum alloy hex bar is a medium-strength, heat-treatable, forged aluminum alloy. Combining excellent properties such as strength, corrosion resistance, machinability, and weldability, 6061 is one of the most widely used aluminum alloys across various industries. Hexagonal structures offer practical advantages in applications requiring a firm grip, torque transmission, or rotational alignment, such as fasteners, shafts, valve stems, and custom-machined parts.
- 6061 Aluminum Hex Rod is an alloy made of magnesium and silicon. It has excellent corrosion resistance.
- Compared with other heat-treated aluminum, 6061 aluminum has lower strength but the strongest corrosion resistance.
- There are many different methods to form this grade of aluminum, such as machining, welding, hot working, and cold working.
- Suitable for anodizing, other coatings can also be applied, its conductivity is 40% of copper.
Our 6061 aluminum alloy hex bars conform to multiple international standards, including ASTM B221, AMS 4117, QQ-A-200/8. We can also provide Material Testing Certificates (MTC) and third-party inspection reports upon request to ensure quality assurance for your critical applications. We consistently adhere to stringent quality control standards to ensure the dimensional accuracy, mechanical properties, and surface quality of our 6061 aluminum alloy hex bars.
HSTF Aluminum is a high-quality 6061 aluminum bar supplier and manufacturer in China. We have large stock, factory direct price, quality assurance, fast delivery.
