Aluminum Angles

Select Angle Type Below

Architectural Angles

Architectural Angles

Architectural Angle is made from 6063 Series Aluminum. 6063 aluminum angle is often finished with a T6 or T52 treatment. A T6 Temper means that the extrusion is heat treated and artificially aged. A T52 Temper means that the extrusion is cooled from an elevated temperature shaping process and artificially aged. The Temper affects the mechanical properties of the end product. 6063-T6 has a tensile strength of 25,000 psi and a yield strength of 25,000 psi. The 6063 alloy has a smooth finish that is conducive to finishing or anodizing. The first difference between architectural aluminum angle and structural aluminum angle is the profile that is extruded. Architectural angle has a constant thickness throughout the piece with a sharp 90 degree angle on the outside and inside where the two legs meet and is a constant thickness to the very end of the piece.
Structural Angles

Structural Angles

Structural Angles have an L-shaped cross section that is used in many structural applications. Aluminum Wholesalers offers many different sizes, lengths, aluminum grades and specifications for Structural Angle. This type of angle has rounded corners and is generally used for structural applications where strength is important. Structural Angle is typically procured in 6061 Grade which is specified in most any application due to its strength, heat treatability, comparatively easy machining, and weldability. If that were not enough this is also capable of being anodized, adding a layer of protection for finished parts. What sets this angle apart is the rounded corners and the radius on the inside of the 90 giving this angle a far greater weight baring capability. Structural Angle is used in many different industries including but not limited to Road Signage, Commercial & Residential Construction, Aviation, Marine, as well as the Oil & Gas Industries.
