Aluminium T-profile "BLANK" 20 x 20 x 2 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/-9

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
• ideal for powder coating
• Very good corrosion resistance
• 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 T-profiles are so-called semi-finished products. They are suitable for practical and decorative use and their surface can be easily machined. They are therefore frequently used as functional and visual elements in façade and interior design as well as in garden design. Here, the profiles serve as a practical seal or cover. They can also be used as a connection for floor coverings such as parquet, laminate, ceramic tiles and natural stone slabs.

We can supply you with high-quality aluminium T-profiles - in a wide range of dimensions and surface finishes. You can select all the properties for your profiles in our online configurator and our experts will process your order professionally and quickly! If you have any questions about our range, please do not hesitate to contact us.

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

Please note: There are approx. 5 mm holes at the ends of our powder-coated aluminium T-profiles, which are used for fixing during the coating process and are untreated and not deburred. To minimise untreated ends, in many cases we manufacture without holes or only with holes on one side. For precision applications, we recommend an oversize of around 50 - 80 mm.

Powder-coated aluminium T-profiles - ideal protection and aesthetics

Powder-coated aluminium T-profiles offer a first-class protective layer and a smooth, even surface. These profiles are ideal for applications that require both high corrosion resistance and an aesthetic appearance, such as in the construction, interior design and furniture industries. The powder coating gives the T-profiles durability and resistance. In our range you will find a large selection of powder-coated, anodised and bare aluminium T-profiles in numerous sizes and dimensions. If you have special powder coating requirements or customised dimensions, we will be happy to advise you on the right products for your projects.

Note: The surface quality and colour of our powder-coated aluminium T-profiles 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 that generates a high voltage in the gun body at the nozzle tip (electrode). An electric field is created between the earthed workpiece and the electrode, which charges the paint particles negatively. These particles are distributed in a fine spray cloud by mutual repulsion and are deposited evenly on all sides of the aluminium T-profiles. The electrical charge causes excess powder to adhere to hard-to-reach areas and ensures a complete coating. An increased coating thickness forms on edges - the so-called picture frame effect - which improves corrosion protection, but may require reworking in the case of tight fits.

Powder coating - quality requirements

To assess the quality of powder-coated aluminium T-profiles, the coated surface must not show any blisters, craters, pinholes or scratches when viewed with normal or corrected vision and at a distance of 3 metres (for indoor applications) or 5 metres (for outdoor applications). The coating should be free from damage that exposes the metal. Deviations in the primary material caused by the pressing process do not affect the quality of the powder-coated surface and are therefore not subject to quality testing.

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.
