6061 Aluminium Bar

Lightweight with impressive performance.

6061 aluminium alloy is a versatile product and one of the most popular heat-treatable alloys.


Combining medium strength with good corrosion resistance, workability and hardness, the material utilises elements including magnesium and silicon to achieve these characteristics. 6061 is also easily welded and formed and will operate impressively in elevated temperatures. The versatility of the alloy lends itself to widespread use throughout industry from aircraft structures to truck bodies and machined parts. We also process these aluminium bars for you in-house.
