Aluminum square bars are essential elements in the modern construction and manufacturing industries. Also known as square aluminum bars, these products offer an excellent combination of lightness, strength and corrosion resistance (depending on material). They are versatile and are used in numerous applications such as mechanical engineering, the construction industry, furniture making and the automotive industry.

Material and properties

Square bars are often made from alloys such as EN AW-6082 [Al Si1MgMn] T6. This alloy is characterized by excellent mechanical strength and good machinability. Series 6000 aluminum also offers high corrosion resistance, which makes the square bars particularly durable.

Dimensions and weight

The aluminum square bars are available in different dimensions and lengths. Typical sizes include dimensions from 10mm to 100mm with varying wall thicknesses. For example, a square bar measuring 50 mm x 50 mm has a weight of approximately 6.875 kg/m

Advantages and Applications

Lightweight: Aluminum is about a third as heavy as steel, making it ideal for applications where weight is a concern.
Corrosion resistance: Aluminum forms a natural oxide layer that protects it from further corrosion damage.
Strength: Despite its light weight, aluminum offers remarkable strength, especially in hardened states such as T6.
Machinability: Aluminum is easy to cut, shape and welding (depending on material), making it a preferred material for many manufacturing processes.

Application examples

Mechanical engineering: Used in structures and machine parts that need to be both strong and light.
Construction industry: Aluminum square bars are widely used for structural frames and support structures.
Furniture construction: Ideal for modern and industrial furniture pieces that require aesthetic and functional quality.
Automotive industry: Use in body parts and frame constructions where lightness and strength are crucial.
