Aluminium flat bars "blank" 30 x 2 mm

• Material: AlMgSi0.5
• Material number: according to EN AW-6060
• Delivery condition: T66
• Surface: bright/raw
• Manufacturing process: pressed
• Standard: EN 573-3, 755/-1/-2/-5

The sawn edges are unfinished and not deburred. The surface is raw/bright, so scratches etc. cannot be avoided. This is normal in the trade and is no reason for complaint. Nevertheless, we always endeavour to supply all cut-to-size pieces in the best quality.

Product properties:

• Low density
• Very easy to anodise
• Optimally suited for powder coating
• Very good corrosion resistance
• Smooth surface
• low dimensional tolerances
• good machinability
• cannot be magnetised
• Can be decoratively anodised very well
• good weldability and solderability
• Suitable for use in the food sector in accordance with EN 602

Aluminium flat bars, like round bars, are a popular semi-finished product. The good processing options, flexibility and simultaneous stability make aluminium flat bars a widely used product. Thanks to their durable properties, they are very popular in industry and trade such as the automotive sector or in gardening and landscaping. Anodised aluminium flat profiles are also particularly suitable as edge protection or for attractive skirting boards due to their elegant appearance.

We stock a large selection of aluminium flat bars. You can choose between bright, anodised and powder-coated to suit your requirements. Many different sizes and dimensions are available - if you have any special requests, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Note: The following information only applies if you have selected the powder coating option in the configurator.

Powder coating - additional information and quality features

Surface features and properties:

• Surface: powder-coated for an even, robust protective layer
• Coating thickness: 60 - 80 µm for optimum protection and durability
• Reflectometer value (gloss level):
  • Glossy: 80 - 95
  • Matt: 20 - 30

Please note that there are approx. 5 mm holes at the ends of our powder-coated aluminium flat bars. These are used for fixing during the coating process and are untreated and not deburred. To minimise the need for untreated ends, in many cases we manufacture without holes or only with holes on one side. We recommend an allowance of approx. 50 - 80 mm for precision applications.

Powder-coated aluminium flat bars - ideal protection and aesthetics

Powder-coated aluminium flat bars offer high-quality protection and a uniform surface. They are ideal for applications that require high corrosion resistance and visual quality, such as in the automotive industry, in interior design or for decorative purposes. Thanks to the powder coating, these aluminium flat profiles are particularly durable and available in a wide range of surface finishes. We offer an extensive selection of powder-coated, anodised and bright aluminium flat bars in various sizes and dimensions. If you have special requirements for the powder coating or special dimensions, please contact us - we will be happy to advise you on the ideal product.

Note: The surface quality and colour of the powder-coated products may vary slightly depending on the production batch. Colour deviations are also possible due to monitor and graphic settings.

Layer formation during powder coating

Powder coating is carried out by a high-voltage cascade in the gun body, which generates the high voltage at the nozzle tip (electrode). An electric field is created between the earthed workpiece and the electrode, which charges the paint particles negatively. These paint particles are finely distributed by mutual repulsion in a uniform spray cloud and are deposited evenly on the workpiece. The electrical charge also keeps excess powder in the field and ensures an even coating around the workpiece. A thicker layer often forms on edges, which is known as the picture frame effect and offers advantages in terms of corrosion protection. This effect may require careful reworking in the case of tight fits.

Powder coating - quality requirements

When assessing the quality of powder-coated products, the coated surface must not show any blisters, craters, pinholes or scratches when viewed with normal or corrected vision at a distance of 3 metres (for indoor applications) or 5 metres (for outdoor applications). The coating should be free from damage that penetrates through to the metal. Deviations in the primary material caused by the pressing process do not affect the quality of the powder-coated surface and therefore do not fall within the scope of assessment.

Please note that the ordered product may differ from the product images in terms of the surface finish due to different production batches. The same applies to colours, which are displayed differently depending on the monitor and graphics card.
