FAQ – Everything You Need to Know About Aluminium Square Bars
An aluminium square bar is a solid metal product with a square cross-section made from an aluminium alloy. Its regular geometry provides four flat surfaces and uniform dimensions, making it suitable for a wide range of fabrication, machining, and assembly applications.
At Groupe David, aluminium square bars are available in 6061-T6 alloy and are suitable for various industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical projects.
Aluminium square bars offer several useful characteristics for fabrication and machining projects.
Their main advantages include:
- Lightweight compared with many metal materials
- Good mechanical strength depending on the alloy characteristics
- Good corrosion resistance
- Good machinability
- Square cross-section providing four flat surfaces
- Good versatility for various fabrication applications
- Available in several dimensions and lengths
The product should be selected according to the technical requirements and intended use.
At Groupe David, aluminium square bars are available in 6061-T6 alloy.
6061-T6 aluminium is an alloy commonly used for fabrication and machining applications. It offers a good balance of mechanical strength, machinability, light weight, and corrosion resistance.
The alloy should nevertheless be selected according to the required properties and the specific requirements of the project.
The main difference lies in their shape and how that shape meets the requirements of the application.
Aluminium square bar
- Four flat surfaces
- Geometry suitable for assemblies and parts requiring straight faces
- Good option for certain fabrication, support, and machining applications
Aluminium round bar
- Circular cross-section
- Particularly suitable for parts requiring a cylindrical shape
- Commonly used for machining round parts, shafts, and mechanical components
The choice between the two depends primarily on the geometry of the part, machining requirements, and intended use.
For other shapes, also see our pages on aluminium flat bars, aluminium round bars, and aluminium hexagonal bars.
At Groupe David, aluminium square bars are available with the following specifications:
