Aluminum Channel
Aluminum channels are constructed using a vertical web with top and bottom flanges at a 90 degree angle to the web, creating a sort of U-shaped channel. Inside radius corners provide additional support to the structure, further increasing the strength of the material.
The high strength and high heat properties of aluminum make it a well-suited material for use in electronics, machinery, electrical enclosures and structural applications. Due to its corrosion resistance, aluminum channel is used for exposed and weathered housings, as well as in window and door frames for vehicles and buildings.
Erati Solutions offers 6061 aluminum channel in a variety of sizes and lengths.
CHARACTERISTICS
6061 aluminum channels have many diverse uses due to the properties of 6061 aluminum.
The metal is easy to form, machine, cut and weld, making it an ideal material for forming aluminum channel shapes of different sizes and configurations.
It performs well when used in structural forms, support applications and outdoor use because of its resistance to heat and corrosion, as well as its high strength-to-weight ratio.
