Aluminum Hex Tube 1-1/2" x 1/4" – 6061-T6

Product Overview

Aluminum Hex Tube (1-1/2" x 1/4") is a hollow hexagonal aluminum extrusion precision-crafted from high-strength 6061-T6 alloy. Combining an external six-sided profile with a hollow core, this specialized structural tubing delivers exceptional torsional rigidity, high strength-to-weight performance, and positive wrench flats for mechanical linkages, drive shafts, structural framing, push-pull rods, and custom architectural fabrications.

Features & Benefits

• Hollow Hexagonal Profile: Six exterior flat surfaces (1-1/2" flat-to-flat) with a uniform 1/4" wall thickness provide superior torsional resistance and anti-twist performance.
• High-Strength 6061-T6 Aluminum: Heat-treated structural alloy provides high yield strength (40k PSI), exceptional hardness (95 BHN), and dependable fatigue resistance.
• Internal Clearance & Weight Savings: Hollow interior allows wire pass-through, internal threading, or substantial weight reduction compared to solid hex bar stock.
• Excellent Machinability: Readily turned, tapped, drilled, threaded, and welded using standard CNC or manual equipment.
• Corrosion Resistant: Naturally forms a protective oxide barrier for lasting structural performance in industrial, automotive, aerospace, and outdoor installations.
