6061 Aluminium Alloy Angle Description

The 6061 Aluminium Alloy Angle is a standardised profile manufactured from an Al-Mg-Si alloy enhanced with minor Cu and Cr additions. Its chemical formulation supports a balanced mechanical performance, combining moderate strength with good machinability. The precise dimension control and surface finish facilitate integration into various structural assemblies, making it suitable for reinforcement and support applications in engineered systems.

6061 Aluminium Alloy Angle Applications

1.       Industrial Structures
- Applied as a reinforcing component in frameworks to achieve improved load distribution by leveraging its balanced strength-to-weight ratio.
- Used as a bracket or frame element in assemblies to maintain alignment through its confirmed dimensional consistency.

2.       Automotive and Transportation
- Serves as a support element in chassis or body structures to enhance rigidity, utilising its optimised mechanical properties.
- Frequently used in lightweight structural assemblies where reduced mass and corrosion resistance contribute to overall performance.

6061 Aluminium Alloy Angle Packing

The angles are packaged in anti-corrosion wraps and cushioned, moisture-resistant containers to prevent mechanical damage during transit and storage. They are layered in protective foam-lined cases and sealed to avoid contamination. Recommended storage conditions include a dry, temperature-stable environment to preserve surface integrity and prevent oxide formation. Custom packaging options are available to accommodate specific shipping or storage requirements.
