Product Selection Differences for Aluminium Equal Angle Extrusions

When selecting aluminum equal angle extrusions, there are several key differences to consider:

  1. Alloy Type: Aluminum extrusions are available in different alloy types, with 6000 series (alloyed with magnesium and silicon) being the most common for structural applications due to its strength and formability.

  2. Finish: Extrusions come in various finishes such as mill finish (raw aluminum), anodized, painted, or powder-coated. The finish affects the appearance and durability of the extrusion.

  3. Dimensions: Consider the dimensions of the angle extrusions, including the angle size, thickness, and length, to ensure it meets your specific project requirements.

  4. Tolerance: Check the tolerance specifications to ensure the extrusions meet the required dimensional accuracy for your application.

  5. Strength and Weight: Different alloys offer varying levels of strength and weight, so choose a material that provides the required strength while being lightweight for your application.

  6. Corrosion Resistance: Depending on the application, consider the level of corrosion resistance offered by the alloy and finish of the extrusion.

  7. Cost: Compare the cost of different options while considering the specific requirements of your project to find the most cost-effective solution.

By evaluating these factors, you can choose the right aluminum equal angle extrusion that best suits your needs in terms of performance, cost, and durability.
