3" x 0.125" Aluminum Square Tube 6061-T6-Extruded
The 3" x 0.125" 6061-T6 aluminum square tube is ideal for lightweight structural or decorative frame applications. It offers good strength and weldability, typically used in light to medium load applications such as framing, supports, and light construction. The T6 heat treatment ensures excellent mechanical properties while facilitating ease of processing.
Size: 3" x 0.125" (Width x Wall Thickness)
Alloy: 6061-T6
Processing Method: Extrusion
Properties: This tube’s thin 0.125" wall thickness makes it lightweight while still providing adequate strength for less demanding structural applications. The 6061-T6 alloy offers excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion, especially in industries requiring exposure to outdoor elements. The material's ability to maintain strength at elevated temperatures ensures reliable performance in both low and high-temperature environments. Due to its high workability, it can be easily shaped, welded, and machined into complex parts for various applications that require moderate strength and high machinability.
Material Meets These Standard(s): ASTM-B221
