As a professional manufacturer from Hemaokang Steel (Shandong) Co., Ltd., we are proud to offer high-quality 6061 T6 Aluminum Rod in diameters ranging from 10mm to 50mm. Our hot extruded round bars are produced in strict accordance with ASTM B211 standards, ensuring consistent mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy. With our factory located in Liaocheng, Shandong, China, and an annual export value of US$50 million to US$100 million, we serve global markets with reliable supply and competitive pricing.
The 6061 T6 aluminum alloy is known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, good machinability, and corrosion resistance. Our hot extrusion process enhances the material's density and grain structure, resulting in a rod that performs well in demanding applications. Whether you need precision components for automotive, aerospace, or general engineering, our 6061 T6 round bars are a trusted choice.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Strength & Lightweight: 6061 T6 offers a tensile strength of approximately 45,000 psi while remaining about one-third the weight of steel, reducing overall component weight.
- Excellent Machinability: Ideal for turning, milling, drilling, and threading – saves time and tool wear in fabrication.
- Corrosion Resistant: Natural oxide layer provides protection against moisture and many chemicals, suitable for outdoor and marine environments.
- Weldability: Can be welded using common methods (TIG, MIG) with proper filler metal, allowing easy assembly.
- Uniform Dimensions: Hot extrusion ensures tight tolerances (±0.1mm for diameter) and straightness, minimizing secondary processing.
- Custom Lengths: Available in standard 3m or 6m bars, or cut to your exact specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between 6061 T6 and 6061 T651?
T6 is solution heat treated and artificially aged. T651 includes an additional stress relief by stretching. For most applications like shafts and general machining, T6 is sufficient. If you require tighter dimensional stability, we can supply T651 upon request.
2. Can you provide cut-to-length rods?
Yes, we can cut the rods to any length between 100mm and 6m with a tolerance of ±2mm. Please specify your required length when ordering.
3. What surface finish is available?
Standard is mill finish (extruded surface). For improved appearance or corrosion resistance, we can offer anodizing, polishing, or painting as optional services. Contact us for details.
4. Do you provide material test reports (MTR)?
Yes, each shipment is accompanied by a mill test certificate that includes chemical composition and mechanical properties per ASTM B211. Third-party inspection is also available upon request.
5. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
For standard sizes (10-50mm diameter), our MOQ is 500 kg per size. For smaller quantities or sample orders, please contact our sales team to discuss options.
6. How do you package the rods for export?
We pack rods in bundles with steel strapping, wrapped in waterproof paper, and then loaded in wooden crates or pallets depending on the destination. For sea freight, we use fumigated wooden cases to comply with ISPM 15.
7. Can this rod be used for welding?
Yes, 6061 T6 is weldable. We recommend using 4043 or 5356 filler wire. Preheating is not required, but post-weld heat treatment may restore some strength. For critical applications, consult your welding engineer.
8. What is the typical lead time?
For standard sizes and quantities, lead time is 15–20 days after deposit. For custom diameters or special lengths, please allow 20–30 days. We also maintain inventory for common sizes (e.g., 20mm, 25mm, 30mm) for quick shipment.
