Overview
Overview
About this aluminium box section
Material and Grade:
- Made from aluminum alloy 6063, known for its favorable combination of properties, including good formability, corrosion resistance, and weldability.
Shape:
- Box Section: This aluminum profile has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, forming a hollow box-like structure.
Dimensions:
- Height: 127mm
- Width: 127mm
- Thickness: 6.3mm
Weight:
- Weighs 8.21 kilograms per meter, indicating a substantial and sturdy construction. The increased weight compared to the previous specification suggests a denser and potentially stronger profile.
Weldability:
- Fair weldability suggests that it can be welded, but the welding process may require some attention and skill.
Corrosion Resistance:
- Excellent corrosion resistance ensures durability, making it suitable for applications where exposure to environmental elements is a concern.
Finish:
- Mill Finish: This refers to the untreated surface finish straight from the manufacturing process, often characterized by a smooth and matte appearance.
Common Applications:
- Given its box section shape, this aluminum profile is likely used in structural applications where strength and rigidity are crucial.
- The excellent corrosion resistance makes it suitable for outdoor or marine applications.
- The increased dimensions and weight suggest that it might be used in applications requiring a heavier and more robust profile compared to the previous specification.
