FAQ – Everything You Need to Know About Aluminum Angles
An aluminum angle is a metal profile shaped like an “L” and composed of two perpendicular legs. It is commonly used to reinforce, assemble, or protect various types of structures.
Thanks to its light weight and strong resistance to corrosion, aluminum angles are particularly appreciated in projects where reducing weight and ensuring long-term durability are important.
They are widely used in many sectors, including manufacturing, light construction, commercial installations, and certain industrial projects.
Aluminum angles are offered in **6061-T6 alloy**, one of the most popular alloys for structural applications.
This alloy is known for:
- excellent mechanical strength
- good corrosion resistance
- ease of machining and fabrication
- good dimensional stability
Because of these properties, 6061-T6 aluminum is commonly used in construction, transportation, and industrial manufacturing.
Aluminum angles are generally available in standard lengths of 20’ (≈ 6.10 m).
Several dimensions are available to meet different structural or aesthetic requirements.
The main characteristics include:
- Leg dimensions: starting from 1/2’’ x 1/2’’ (≈ 12.7 mm x 12.7 mm) and larger
- Thicknesses: starting from 1/16’’ (≈ 1.6 mm) and greater
These configurations allow the angle to be adapted to different mechanical requirements and applications. To see all available configurations, please consult page 44 of our catalogue.
The weight of aluminum angles depends directly on their dimensions and thickness.
For commonly available models, the weight can vary approximately between:
- 0.211 lb per linear foot
and - 4.488 lb per linear foot
Weight is an important parameter because it influences ease of handling, the total load of a structure, and sometimes even transportation and installation costs.
Aluminum angles are offered in a natural aluminum finish (silver).
This finish provides several advantages:
- a clean and modern appearance
- natural resistance to corrosion
- easy maintenance
Aluminum angles are used in many applications thanks to their light weight and durability.
They are commonly used for:
- manufacturing frames and lightweight structures
- supports and mechanical assemblies
- commercial or architectural installations
- equipment and machinery structures
- construction projects requiring corrosion-resistant materials
They represent a versatile solution for projects requiring a good balance between strength and reduced weight.
The choice between aluminum and steel mainly depends on the requirements of the project.
Aluminum angles are generally preferred when:
- weight reduction is important
- corrosion resistance is required
- easier handling and installation are needed
- the aesthetic of raw metal is desired
Steel angles, on the other hand, are often chosen for applications requiring very high load-bearing capacity or heavy structural elements.
The material choice therefore depends on mechanical constraints, the installation environment, and the intended use.
To select the most suitable aluminum angle, several parameters should be considered.
Leg dimensions
The width of the legs influences the contact surface and the stability of the structure.
Thickness
A thicker angle generally provides greater rigidity and higher load capacity.
Weight per linear foot
Weight helps estimate the total mass of the structure and may influence installation.
The installation environment
Construction and fabrication aluminum is particularly recommended for humid or outdoor environments because of its natural resistance to corrosion.
