2" x 0.062" Aluminum Square Tube 6061-T6-Extruded

This 2" x 0.062" 6061-T6 aluminum square tube is a lightweight option suitable for applications requiring low load-bearing capabilities. Its strength and corrosion resistance make it ideal for precision frames, instrument supports, lightweight body structures, or other light industrial applications where weight and strength are crucial. The T6 heat treatment provides good mechanical properties while maintaining ease of fabrication.

Size: 2" x 0.062" (Width x Wall Thickness)

Alloy: 6061-T6

Processing Method: Extrusion

Properties: With a thinner wall thickness, this 6061-T6 aluminum tube retains many of the alloy's key characteristics, but in a more lightweight form. It provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, offering moderate strength while reducing weight, which is particularly beneficial for applications where reducing mass is crucial. The material offers good corrosion resistance, excellent formability, and good machinability. It is also highly resistant to corrosion, even in saltwater or harsh environments, making it ideal for marine and outdoor applications where weight is a concern but strength is still required.

Material Meets These Standard(s): ASTM-B221
