Aluminum I Beam

Aluminum I-beams are extruded aluminum products with inside radius corners that are intended for all structural applications where greater strength is required. In addition, aluminium I beams are widely used for all types of fabrication projects where lightweight and corrosion resistance is a concern.

The 6061 aluminum I-beam is made with silicon and magnesium. This aluminum alloy has the highest corrosion resistance of all the aluminum that are heat treated. It also has a lower strength than them. However, it is still widely used because of its wide ranging mechanical properties that make it readily machinable and weldable. When in the annealed condition, it can also be cold worked, using standard methods to stamp, cut, drill, bend, tap and deep draw. Other methods of forming that can be used include heat treating.

The applications of aluminum I beam can be used for vary widely. These are some of the applications it has been used for: machine parts, structural components, worm gears, electrical fittings, camera lens mounts and heavy duty structures that need high corrosion resistance and a good weight-to-strength ratio.

The 6061 aluminum I-beam can be purchased in sizes between 3 and 12 inches thick and up to 300 inches long.
