Frequently asked questions
Can these aluminium angles be used for vehicle body building?
Yes, 6060 T5 aluminium angles are well-suited for vehicle body construction. Their high strength-to-weight ratio allows for increased payload, and excellent weldability ensures secure, durable fabrication.
Are these angles suitable for outdoor use without further treatment?
Yes, 6060 T5 aluminium angles offer excellent inherent corrosion resistance for outdoor environments. While supplied in a mill finish, their natural properties prevent rust. For enhanced aesthetics or specific protection, anodising or powder coating can be applied.
What are the key benefits of using 6060 T5 alloy for these angles?
The 6060 T5 alloy provides an optimal balance of structural strength, ease of fabrication, and corrosion resistance. This temper ensures a high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent weldability, and good machinability, making it versatile for various construction and manufacturing needs.
Applications and benefits
| Application | Key benefit | Primary trades |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle body building | High strength-to-weight ratio for increased payload; excellent weldability for secure joints. | Vehicle manufacturers, fabricators |
| Caravans and trailers | Lightweight framing reduces tow weight and improves fuel efficiency; corrosion resistant for outdoor exposure. | Caravan manufacturers, repairers |
| Shopfitting and architectural frameworks | Good machinability and accepts anodising/powder coating for aesthetic finishes. Provides lightweight, durable structures. | Shopfitters, architects, interior fit-out contractors |
| General framing (e.g., machinery guards, shelving) | Easy to cut, drill, and weld into rigid, lightweight structures. Offers long-term durability. | General fabricators, construction trades |
