6061 T4 Aluminum Bar Rod

6061 T4 aluminum bar rods are made from the 6061 aluminum alloy and are heat-treated to achieve the T4 temper, which involves solution heat treatment followed by natural aging. This temper provides a good balance of strength, workability, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for applications that require excellent machinability and moderate strength. Common uses include structural components and aerospace applications.

6061 O Aluminum Bar Rod

The 6061 O (annealed) aluminum bar rod is in its softest state, having undergone a complete annealing process. This results in a highly ductile and malleable material that can be easily formed and shaped. While it does not possess the high strength characteristics of other tempers, it is often used in applications where workability is critical, such as in forming and bending operations.

6061 T6/T651 Aluminum Bar Rod

6061 T6/T651 aluminum bar rods are heat-treated to the T6 temper, providing a significant increase in strength compared to the T4 and O tempers. The T651 designation indicates that the material has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged, along with stress-relieving processes to minimize distortion. This alloy is widely used in structural applications, aerospace components, and other high-strength applications due to its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.

6061 T4/T451 Aluminum Bar Rod

The 6061 T4/T451 aluminum bar rods are similar to the T4 temper but have undergone additional processing (T451) to relieve residual stresses, making them more stable and less prone to warping during machining. This combination offers a good balance of strength and workability, making it suitable for applications in aerospace and structural components that require precision machining while maintaining good mechanical properties.

6061 Aerospace Al Extruded Bar

6061 aerospace aluminum extruded bars are produced through an extrusion process, which allows for the creation of long, uniform shapes with excellent dimensional tolerances. This type of bar is specifically designed for aerospace applications, where lightweight and high-strength materials are essential. The extrusion process enhances the mechanical properties and surface finish, making it suitable for various structural and non-structural components in aircraft and spacecraft.

6061 Aerospace Aluminum Forged Bar

6061 aerospace aluminum forged bars are created through the forging process, which involves shaping the material using compressive forces. This process improves the grain structure, resulting in superior mechanical properties, including increased strength and toughness. Forged bars are commonly used in high-stress applications within the aerospace industry, such as in aircraft frames, landing gear, and other critical components.

6061 Aerospace Aluminum Round Bar

6061 aerospace aluminum round bars are cylindrical bars made from the 6061 alloy, specifically designed for aerospace applications. These bars can be extruded or forged and are known for their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. They are often used in applications requiring precision machining, such as in fasteners, fittings, and various structural components in aircraft.

6061 Aerospace Aluminum Square Bar

6061 aerospace aluminum square bars are square-shaped bars made from the 6061 alloy, tailored for aerospace applications. Similar to round bars, they offer excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Square bars are often used in structural applications, brackets, and frames where a specific cross-sectional shape is needed for design requirements.

6061 Aerospace Aluminum Flat Bar

6061 aerospace aluminum flat bars are flat, rectangular bars made from the 6061 alloy, designed for use in aerospace applications. These bars provide excellent machinability and are often used for applications such as support brackets, structural components, and other parts where flat stock is required. Their lightweight and high-strength properties make them ideal for aerospace construction.

6061 Aerospace Aluminum Hex Bar

6061 aerospace aluminum hex bars are hexagonal-shaped bars made from the 6061 aluminum alloy, designed for aerospace applications. The hexagonal shape allows for easy gripping and handling in certain applications, and like other 6061 bars, they offer excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. They are often used in applications requiring unique shapes for fittings, connectors, or other specialized components.
