Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Sheets and Bars
The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. It is strong and corrosion resistant, plus it's easy to machine and weld.
Extruded sheets and bars are formed by a die for close-tolerance widths, then cut to the lengths listed.
Aluminum that meets ASTM B209 or ASTM B221 complies with standards for materials.
Aluminum that meets an SAE AMS standard conforms to the material and process needs of the aerospace industry.

Anodized Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Sheets and Bars
- Yield Strength: 35,000 psi
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper: See table
- Fabrication: Extruded
- Specifications Met: See table
An anodized coating bonds to the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance. The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. It is strong and corrosion resistant, plus it's easy to machine and weld.
Gray finish is also known as hard anodized. The surface is so hard, it’s comparable to case-hardened steel, which makes these sheets and bars more difficult to machine than uncoated 6061 aluminum.

Tight-Tolerance High-Strength 7075 Aluminum Sheets and Bars
- Yield Strength: 73,000 psi
- Hardness: Brinell 150 (Medium)
- Temper: T651
- Fabrication: Hot Rolled
- Specifications Met: ASTM B209, SAE AMS-QQ-A-250/12
Choose between sheets and bars that are precision ground on all six sides or just on the top and bottom. Originally developed for aircraft frames, uses for 7075 aluminum now include keys, gears, and other high-stress parts. It is often used as a replacement for 2024 aluminum because it’s stronger and provides similar performance in all other aspects.
Sheets and bars that are precision ground on all sides are consistently flat, square, and parallel on all six sides. They’re also known as blanks and are ready for use in your CNC machine.

High-Strength 2024 Aluminum Sheets and Bars
While 2024 aluminum was initially designed for structural components in aircraft, it's now widely used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is needed, such as for gears, shafts, and fasteners. It offers similar performance to 7075 aluminum, but it’s not as strong.
Cold-drawn bars are formed by a die for close-tolerance widths, then cut to the lengths listed.
