Product Introduction
| Aluminum Extrusion Profile Technical Specifications | |
| Specification | Details |
| Common Alloy Series & Tempers | 6xxx Series (e.g., 6061, 6063, 6082): Magnesium-silicon alloyed. Excellent extrudability, good strength, corrosion resistance, and anodizing response. 6063 is the most common for architectural and general use; 6061 is standard for structural applications. 5xxx Series (e.g., 5083, 5086): Magnesium alloyed. Excellent corrosion resistance and weldability, but more difficult to extrude. Used for marine and highly corrosive environments. 7xxx Series (e.g., 7005, 7075): Zinc alloyed. Very high strength, used for critical structural and aerospace applications, but limited extrudability and corrosion resistance. |
| Standard Tempers | T5 (Cooled from Extrusion & Artificially Aged): The most common temper for extruded profiles. Good strength for general and architectural use. T6 (Solution Heat-Treated & Artificially Aged): Higher strength than T5, used for structural components. Common for 6061 alloy. T4 (Solution Heat-Treated & Naturally Aged): Intermediate temper, can be aged to T6 or formed before final aging. O (Annealed): Soft condition for severe forming after extrusion. |
| Profile Classification | Solid Profiles: Standard shapes (e.g., angles, channels, rods, tees) with no enclosed voids. Hollow Profiles: Contain one or more enclosed voids (e.g., rectangular, square, or round tubes). More complex but common for structural frames. Semi-Hollow Profiles: Partially enclosed shapes. Custom/Complex Profiles: Unique cross-sections designed for specific functional or aesthetic applications. |
| Critical Dimension Limits (Typical) | Circle Size (Max. Circumscribing Circle Diameter): Up to 300 mm (12") for standard presses; larger on specialized equipment. Minimum Wall Thickness: Typically 0.8 mm (0.032") for 6xxx alloys; thinner walls (0.5 mm) possible for small, simple shapes. Standard Lengths: 1.8 m (6 ft) to 7.3 m (24 ft) is common; cut-to-length available. Tolerances: Governed by standards like ASTM B221, EN 12020, or specific customer prints. |
| Key Mechanical Properties (Typical Minimum) | 6063-T5: Tensile: 160 MPa (23 ksi), Yield: 110 MPa (16 ksi), Elongation: 8%. 6061-T6: Tensile: 310 MPa (45 ksi), Yield: 276 MPa (40 ksi), Elongation: 10%. 6082-T6: Tensile: 310 MPa (45 ksi), Yield: 260 MPa (38 ksi), Elongation: 10%. |
| Standard Specifications | ASTM: B221 (Standard Specification for Aluminum-Alloy Extruded Bars, Rods, Wire, Profiles, and Tubes) EN: 755-9 (Mechanical Properties of Extruded Rods/Bars, Tubes, and Profiles) EN: 12020-2 (Precision profiles - Tolerances on dimensions and form) AAMA: 611 (Voluntary Specification for Anodized Architectural Aluminum) |
| Surface Finish Options | Mill Finish (MF): As-extruded surface with visible die lines. Anodized (Clear or Color): Electrochemical process for corrosion/wear resistance and color. Architectural Class I (20-25 µm) or Class II (10-15 µm) anodic coating thicknesses are common. Powder Coating/Painting: Applied organic coating (polyester, polyurethane, fluoropolymer) for color and protection. Coating thickness typically 60-80 µm. Brushed/Polished: Mechanical finishing for a decorative appearance. Woodgrain/Textured: Sublimation or film transfer for specialized aesthetic effects. |
| Design & Fabrication Considerations | Extrusion Ratio: Ratio of billet cross-sectional area to profile cross-sectional area. Affects metal flow and press load. Tongue Ratio: Critical for hollow dies; affects die strength and life. Minimum Inside Radii: Typically equal to the wall thickness. Post-Extrusion Operations: Cutting, drilling, milling, punching, bending, welding, and assembly are common. |
| Primary Applications | Building & Construction: Window/door frames, curtain walls, roofing systems, handrails, structural framing. Transportation: Automotive trim, railcar structures, truck trailers, aircraft interior components. Industrial: Machine frames, conveyor systems, heat sinks, cleanroom structures, ladders, workstations. Consumer Goods: Furniture, lighting fixtures, sporting goods, display systems, electronics enclosures. |
