Chrome-Plated Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Rods

- Yield Strength: 35,000 psi
- Hardness: Brinell 95 (Soft)
- Temper:
1/8" Dia.: T6
All other sizes: T6511 - 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.
