8" x 0.25" Aluminum Square Tube 6061-T6-Extruded

The 8" x 0.25" aluminum square tube made from 6061-T6 is versatile and strong, offering a solid balance between strength and ease of fabrication. With a wall thickness of 0.25", this tube is suitable for heavier-duty applications, such as in industrial machinery frames, vehicle frames, or architectural support structures, where both structural integrity and corrosion resistance are essential.

Size: 8 inches x 0.25 inches

Material: 6061 Aluminum Alloy (T6 Condition)

Length: Custom Length

Features: The larger dimensions are suitable for applications requiring higher strength and rigidity. 6061-T6 aluminum alloy offers excellent corrosion resistance, good weldability, and machining properties, capable of withstanding higher loads. The thin-wall design (0.25 inches) helps reduce weight while maintaining strength.

Applications: Primarily used for large structural frames, vehicle chassis, building structures, heavy machinery, and support systems for facilities.

Material Meets These Standard(s): ASTM-B221
