Aluminum Beams
6061 Aluminum offers exceptional value as the most cost-effective heat-treatable aluminum alloy without compromising performance. This engineering marvel delivers outstanding corrosion resistance even in harsh environments while maintaining excellent weldability using standard techniques. Its balanced machinability allows for precision cutting and drilling with minimal tool wear, while its moderate forming capabilities accommodate gentle bends and shapes without cracking.
Structural Aluminum I-Beams represent advanced engineering in lightweight construction materials. These precision-extruded profiles feature strategically designed inside radius corners that eliminate stress concentration points while maximizing load-bearing capacity. The distinctive I-shaped cross-section provides an optimal strength-to-weight ratio by concentrating material exactly where structural forces demand it. At just one-third the weight of steel with comparable strength, these beams excel in applications where weight reduction is critical.
