Anodized Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Rods
- Yield Strength: 35,000 psi
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper:
1/8" to 3/8" Dia.: T6
All other sizes: T6511 - Fabrication: Extruded
- Specifications Met: ASTM B221
An anodized coating forms a bond with the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance. Often called hard anodized, the surface is nearly as hard as case-hardened steel, which makes these rods more difficult to machine than uncoated 6061 rods. 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.
Chrome-Plated Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Rods
- Yield Strength: 35,000 psi
- Hardness: Brinell 95 (Soft)
- Temper: T6
- Fabrication: Extruded
The matte plating on these rods, sometimes called industrial chrome and hard chrome, creates a slippery surface that minimizes galling and prevents parts from seizing. 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.
Architectural 6063 Aluminum Rods
- Yield Strength: 16,000 psi
- Hardness: Brinell 60 (Soft)

1/8" to 5/8" dia.: T6
All other sizes: T52 - Fabrication:
1/8" to 5/8" dia.: Extruded
All other sizes: Hot Rolled - Specifications Met: ASTM B221
More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.
Easy-to-Form 1100 Aluminum Wire
- Yield Strength: 3,500 psi
- Hardness: Not Rated (Soft)
- Temper: O (Annealed)
- Fabrication: Cold Drawn
- Specifications Met: ASTM B211
This wire has a soft temper and will stay in place when bent. Use it as tie wire and for bundling. Because 1100 aluminum is 99% pure, it offers superior formability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity.

Tight-Tolerance High-Strength 7075 Aluminum Rods
- Yield Strength: 73,000 psi
- Hardness: Brinell 150 (Medium)
- Temper: T6
- Fabrication: Cold Worked
- Specifications Met: ASTM B211
Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance. 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.
