Overview
Overview
About this aluminium box section
Material and Grade:
- Material: Aluminium
- Grade: 6063 - This indicates the specific alloy used in the manufacturing process. Aluminium alloy 6063 is known for its good formability, corrosion resistance, and weldability.
Shape:
- Box Section: This aluminium profile has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, forming a hollow box-like structure.
Dimensions:
- Height: 152.4mm
- Width: 152.4mm
- Thickness: 6.3mm
Weight:
- Weighs 9.94 kilograms per meter, indicating a substantial and sturdy construction. The higher weight 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 and the specific alloy grade (6063), this aluminium profile is likely used in structural applications where a combination of formability, strength, and corrosion resistance is required.
- The substantial weight makes it suitable for applications where a denser and more robust profile is necessary, such as heavy-duty structural elements.
- Excellent corrosion resistance makes it suitable for outdoor or marine applications.
