  • Versatile for medium to high strength requirements
  • Use for transportation components, recreation products, machinery and equipment
  • Good finishing characteristics
  • Min 38 ksi tensile strength
Aluminum 6061 is one of the most widely used alloys in the 6000 series. This standard structural alloy, one of the most versatile of the heat-treatable alloys, is popular for medium to high strength requirements and has good toughness characteristics. Alloy 6061 has excellent corrosion resistance to atmospheric conditions and good corrosion resistance to seawater. This alloy also offers good finishing characteristics and responds well to anodizing; however, where cosmetic appearance is critical, consider the use of alloy 6063. For screw machine applications, alloy 6061 has adequate machinability characteristics in the heat-treated -T6/-T6511 condition. Chips from machining (particularly turning and drilling) can be difficult to break in the -T6/-T6511 temper condition. Chip breakers are recommended, and special machining techniques (i.e. peck drilling) can improve chip formation.

Aluminum is one of the earths most abundant metallic elements. With the exception of oxygen and silicon, it is perhaps the most widely distributed of all the elements. Obtained principally from bauxite, alumina (aluminum oxide) is a white metal with a slightly bluish coloration. Pure (99.9 percent) aluminum melts at 1220F (660C). Its density is .097 lbs per in3and has approximately two-thirds the thermal and electrical conductivity of copper, and it is non magnetic. Aluminum has a high strength-to-weight ratio, is resistant tarnishing and corrosion, and has an attractive silvery appearance. Aluminum is an extremely versatile material, it may be cast or wrought, it is available in a variety of alloys and tempers, and it accepts many different kinds of surface finishes, including anodic treatments. Machinability is considered easy and it can be soldered and welded.

  • Corrosion Resistant
  • Free Machining
  • High temperature Strength
  • Low Temperature Toughness
Stainless Steel Rectangular Bar Type 303 ASTM-A582 is a free-machining alloy with sulfur content that enhances its machinability. Typical applications include bolts, bushings, nuts, shafts, and parts produced on automatic screw machines. Stainless Steels are alloys of iron and carbon that contain between 12 percent and 30 percent Cr, plus other alloying elements. The chromium, which helps develop a passive surface oxide film, provides corrosion resistance in stainless steels. Stainless Steels are wrought or cast and consist of several families that are named for their metallurgical structure. Stainless Steels are fabricated and welded by all common processes and are used for their corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, scaling resistance, and low-temperature toughness. Density is .29 lbs./in3. Formability is good, and cold working results in increased strength. This alloy is non-magnetic in the annealed condition, although it may become slightly magnetic after cold working. It can be hardened only by cold working, and not by heat treatment. Stainless Steel 18-8 denotes 18 percent chromium and 8 percent nickel. This generic designation Stainless Steel 18-8 includes Types 301, 302, 303, 304, and 305.

  • ASTM-B187
  • 99.9 percent commercially pure
  • Corrosion Resistant
  • Easily Soldered
  • Excellent electrical and thermal conductivity
Probably the first metal to be smelted from its ore, Copper derives its usefulness from a combination of desirable properties. It resists corrosion, provides outstanding electrical and thermal conductivity, and has good ductility with an attractive appearance. While its strength-to-weight ratio is relatively low, Copper is considered a heavy metal, with a density of .323 lbs/in3. The pure element is salmon pink, melts at 1981 F (1083 C), and polishes to a bright metallic luster. Used in alloyed form since at least 3500 BC, it is nonmagnetic, combines well with other metals, and is easy to fabricate and join. Copper and its alloys tend to work harden, and can be hot or cold worked for increased strength. Copper Square Rod C110 ASTM-B187 is 99.9 percent commercially pure Copper and can be bent, riveted, drilled, soldered, brazed and welded to most any design requirement. Commonly used for electrical connections and ground straps.
