Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Aluminium U Profile used?
Aluminium U Profile can be used in machinery, architectural details, structural assemblies, signage, furniture and industrial mounting applications. The final selection depends on alloy, section and temper condition.
Which alloy should be preferred?
EN AW 6060 and 6063 are common for general profile applications. EN AW 6082 or 6061 can be preferred where higher mechanical strength is required. Special alloys may be evaluated for machining or demanding applications.
What is the difference between T5 and T6?
T5 is a common artificial ageing condition after extrusion. T6 is preferred where higher mechanical strength is required through a more demanding heat-treatment route.
Do catalogue images guarantee current stock?
