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.
Cold-rolled foil and sheets are cut from large pieces to the widths and lengths listed, so the edges may not be parallel.
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.

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.
