Aluminium rectangular tubes "BLANK" 60 x 40 x 3 mm

• Surface: bright/raw
• Material: AlMgSi0.5
• Material number: according to EN AW-6060
• Delivery condition: T66 solution annealed and artificially aged
• Manufacturing process: pressed
• Standard: EN 573-3, 755/-1/-2/-8

The sawn edges are unmachined 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 rectangular tubes are suitable for a wide range of practical solutions. They are stable and torsion-resistant and are used by the automotive industry as well as aircraft manufacturers. The easy-to-handle rectangular tubes are also used for smaller constructions in model making and in the manufacture of balcony railings, stairs, tables, chairs and much more.

There is a wide selection of different widths in our shop and with the exact cut to length, you can easily find the ideal product for you. If you require a dimension outside our stock range, we look forward to receiving your enquiry.

Note: This information only applies if you have selected the powder coating option in the configurator when placing your order.

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

Powder-coated aluminium rectangular tubes - ideal protection and aesthetics

Powder-coated aluminium rectangular tubes offer a high-quality protective coating and a smooth, even surface that is ideal for demanding applications. Powder coating makes these rectangular tubes particularly durable, offering both high corrosion resistance and an aesthetically pleasing finish that is ideal for construction projects, the automotive industry and decorative applications. We offer a wide range of powder-coated, anodised and bright aluminium rectangular tubes in various sizes and dimensions. If special powder coating requirements or specific dimensions are needed, we will be happy to assist you in selecting the right product.

Note: The surface quality and colour of our powder-coated aluminium rectangular tubes may vary slightly depending on the production process. Colour deviations also depend on the monitor and graphic settings.

Layer formation during powder coating

In powder coating technology, a high-voltage cascade in the gun body generates high voltage at the nozzle tip (electrode), which builds up an electric field between the earthed workpiece and the electrode and charges the paint particles negatively. These particles are finely distributed in a uniform spray cloud by mutual repulsion and are deposited over a large area on the surface of the aluminium rectangular tubes. Thanks to the electrical charge, excess powder remains in the field and ensures a uniform coating. A thicker layer often forms on the edges - the so-called picture frame effect - which is advantageous for corrosion protection, but may require reworking in the case of tight fits.

Powder coating - quality requirements

When testing the quality of powder-coated aluminium rectangular tubes, the coated surface must not show any blisters, craters, pinholes or scratches at a distance of 3 metres (for indoor applications) or 5 metres (for outdoor applications) under normal visual conditions. The coating should be free from damage that penetrates the metal. Any material deviations caused by the pressing process in the primary material have no influence on the quality of the powder-coated surface and are therefore excluded from the quality 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.
