Rectangular Bars: High-Strength Aluminum for Global Applications

Welcome to the dedicated page for Aluminium Tubes’ Rectangular Bars. As a premier global supplier, exporter, and manufacturer with a strong focus on the USA and European markets, we provide high-quality aluminium rectangular bars, a versatile profile essential for countless structural, engineering, and architectural projects. Our bars are known for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, superior corrosion resistance, and excellent machinability, making them the material of choice for demanding applications worldwide.

Product Overview: The Strength of Rectangular Aluminium Bars

Rectangular aluminium bars, often referred to as flat bars or flat stock, feature an elongated cross-section with flat, uniform surfaces and right-angled edges. This geometry makes them incredibly stable and ideal for load-bearing and structural applications.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Aluminium offers impressive strength while being significantly lighter than steel, which is critical for reducing mass in transportation and structural applications.
• Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer, offering outstanding resistance to corrosion, particularly valuable in marine, outdoor, and industrial environments.
• Versatile Fabrication: Our rectangular bars are easy to cut, drill, bend, form, and weld (depending on the alloy), providing maximum flexibility for your manufacturing and construction needs.
• Durability and Longevity: The material’s resilience ensures a long product lifespan, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
• High Recyclability: Aluminium is 100% recyclable without loss of its inherent properties, supporting sustainable and eco-friendly projects.

Common Grades and Technical Specifications

We supply a comprehensive range of aluminium rectangular bar alloys to meet diverse performance requirements, with the 6000 series being the most popular for this profile.

We offer a variety of tempers, including T6/T6511, which signifies the bar has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged for optimal strength.

Manufacturing Process (Extrusion)

Our high-quality rectangular bars are primarily produced using the extrusion process. This involves heating aluminum billets and forcing them through a die with the desired rectangular profile under high pressure. This method ensures precise dimensional tolerances and a uniform finish throughout the length of the bar. Further processes like stretching, heat treatment, and precision cutting complete the manufacturing to meet industry standards.

Global Applications and Industries Served

The versatility and performance of our aluminium rectangular bars make them indispensable across a wide spectrum of industries in the USA and Europe:

• Construction and Architecture: Structural framing, supports, base plates, window/door components, railings, and decorative architectural elements.
• Transportation (Automotive & Marine): Chassis components, brackets, engine parts, deck structures, and other parts where lightweight durability is essential.
• General Engineering and Machinery: Fabrication projects, brackets, braces, trim, machine parts, and fixtures.
• Electrical and Electronics: Busbars (due to high electrical conductivity), heat sinks, and various electrical conductors.
• Aerospace: Non-critical and general components, especially using high-strength alloys like 7075.

Custom Solutions: Beyond our extensive standard stock, Aluminium Tubes specializes in providing custom-cut lengths, specific tolerances, and various surface finishes (including anodizing and powder coating) to precisely match your project specifications. Our commitment to quality and efficient global logistics ensures timely delivery to your location, whether in the heart of Europe or anywhere in the USA.
