Metric Aluminum Rectangular Tube 6060
Metric Aluminum Rectangular Tube 6060 is a popular choice for a variety of applications due to its combination of desirable properties. Comprised of the 6060 aluminum alloy, it offers good strength, excellent machinability, and superior corrosion resistance. Compared to the more common 6061 alloy, 6060 has a slightly higher magnesium content, making it more similar to 6063 but distinct in its own right.
One of the key benefits of Metric Aluminum Rectangular Tube 6060 is its ease of machining. This makes it suitable for projects requiring cutting, drilling, or bending. Additionally, it welds well, allowing for strong and permanent joints. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, it can be used in outdoor applications without worry of rust or degradation.
The rectangular shape with a hollow core provides a lightweight yet structurally sound solution. This makes Metric Aluminum Rectangular Tube 6060 ideal for applications where weight is a factor, such as in building frames, railings, and furniture. Its architectural applications extend to decorative trims and finishing pieces. Its versatility extends to marine environments due to its corrosion resistance.
Metric Aluminum Rectangular Tube has unlimited uses in the building industry such as roofing, railings and frames. It is extruded and seamless and its properties have a high corrosion resistance. Some common uses are in Architectural designs and outside applications such as lightweight garden structures and finishing pieces.
