Product Introduction

Technical Parameters of Aluminum Bar
Parameter CategorySpecific ParameterDescription / Typical ValuesCommon Standards (Examples)
Basic IdentificationAlloy DesignationCommon alloys used for bar production.
Common Alloys:
• 2024-T3/T351: Very high strength, excellent fatigue resistance. Primarily for aerospace applications. Poor corrosion resistance without cladding.
• 6061-T6/T651: The most common general-purpose alloy. Good strength, excellent corrosion resistance, machinability, and weldability.
• 7075-T6/T651: Ultra-high strength. Used in high-stress structural aerospace and military applications.
• 2011-T3: Excellent machinability (free-machining alloy). Used for screw machine products.
ASTM B211, ASTM B221, AMS 4120 (2024), AMS 4127 (7075)
TemperIndicates the mechanical strength and processing.
Common Tempers:
• T3: Solution heat-treated, cold worked, and naturally aged.
• T6: Solution heat-treated and artificially aged.
• T651/T6511: Solution heat-treated, stress-relieved by stretching, and artificially aged. This temper provides improved dimensional stability for machining.

Example (2024-T3): 47 ksi (324 MPa) min
Example (7075-T6): 69 ksi (476 MPa) min
ASTM E8/E8M
Elongation at BreakThe percentage of plastic deformation before fracture.
Example (6061-T6): 8-10% min
Example (2024-T3): 10-12% min
Example (7075-T6): 7% min
ASTM E8/E8M
Shear StrengthThe maximum stress the bar can withstand when forces cause its internal structure to slide against itself.
Example (6061-T6): ~24 ksi (165 MPa)
Example (7075-T6): ~41 ksi (283 MPa)

Fabrication & PerformanceMachinabilityRating (on a scale relative to 2011-T3):
• 2011-T3: Excellent (100%)
• 6061-T6: Good (50%)
• 2024-T3: Fair (30%)
• 7075-T6: Good (60%)
/
WeldabilityRating:
• 6061-T6: Excellent (using 4043 or 5356 filler)
• 2024-T3, 7075-T6: Generally considered poor (crack-sensitive). Not recommended for arc welding without specialized procedures.
AWS D1.2
Corrosion ResistanceRating:
• 6061: Excellent
• 2024, 7075: Poor (unless clad with a protective layer).
/
Anodizing / CoatingCan be anodized (6061 anodizes very well), powder coated, or painted./
Stress Relieved (T651/T6511)A critical parameter for machining. Stress-relieved bars minimize warping and distortion during and after machining, ensuring dimensional stability./
