Kloeckner Metals sells 6061 aluminum beam, an all purpose extrusion product. Get in touch for a quote today.
This is a popular extruded aluminum product fabricated for a variety of applications across industries. This aluminum grade has a good strength-to-weight ratio, good corrosion resistance, and is easy to machine and weld.
Because this aluminum grade is suitable for hot extrusion, the process whereby heated metal is pushed through a shaped die, 6061 beams are widely adapted for various uses. Excellent machinability and weldability make it an easy extruded product to fabricate for custom projects in both the automotive and aerospace industries. Another advantage for this grade is that it shows high quality corrosion resistance and is suitable for anodizing to add an extra layer of protection against extreme environments. This is a multipurpose product without any distinct disadvantages.
6061 aluminum beam is popular for marine, general construction, aerospace, architecture, furniture, and automotive applications.
6061 is easily one of the most versatile aluminum grades in widespread use. Applications include: pipe fittings, containers, automotive and aerospace parts and structural applications across industries.
It has excellent machinability.
It has excellent weldability.
It is heat treatable.

ANSWER:
The most popular and widely used beam is the I-beam. The I-beam resembles an uppercase I, with a long vertical web and two equal length legs. In standard format, the I-beam has tapered, or rounded legs. Another beam is the wide-flange beam. This beam differs from the the I-beam in that it is wider, and as a result, it is a typically heavier product.
ANSWER:
The hardness of this aluminum grade product is 95 on the brinell hardness scale.
