Weight Comparison

The aluminum angle, particularly the 6061 T6, is significantly lighter than steel, making it an ideal option for structural applications. This lightweight characteristic ensures aluminum is easier to work with, particularly in projects requiring customized lengths and specific sizes, like frame work or legs.

Welding and Joining

Aluminum angle can be efficiently welded or joined with other metals. TIG welding is often recommended for 6061 T6 due to its ability to manage the heat input, ensuring the integrity of the mill finish. This process is crucial for maintaining the mechanical properties of aluminum in structural applications.

Bending and Fabrication

The fabrication capabilities of the aluminum angle allow for flexibility in project design, including custom-cut sizes and shapes, without requiring special equipment. The 6061 T6 alloy offers good formability, accommodating varied thickness and length, suitable for a wide range of applications from simple legs to complex framework.

Recyclability and Environmental Impact

Recycling aluminum angle contributes significantly to environmental conservation, reducing the need for heat and energy used in producing new aluminum. The 6061 T6 is widely recycled, underscoring aluminum’s role in sustainable construction practices by saving resources and reducing the quantity of waste in structural applications.
