Product information
The aluminium machine-building profile made of EN AW-6063 (AlMgSi0.5) is supplied with a powder-coated surface.
Technical features:
- Alloy: AlMgSi0.5
- Material designation: EN AW-6063
- Surface: powder coated
- Coating thickness: approx. 60–80 µm
- Delivery condition: T66 (solution heat-treated + artificially aged)
- Manufacturing process: extruded
- Standards: EN 573-3, EN 755-1 / -2 / -3 / -4 / -5 / -8 / -9
Surface characteristics:
- uniformly applied coating with a closed protective layer
- Gloss level (gloss): approx. 80–95 GU
- Gloss level (matt): approx. 20–30 GU
- coating of the outer surfaces as well as accessible functional profile contours
Material properties:
- low material density
- very good corrosion resistance
- uniform surface quality
- high profile accuracy due to extrusion
- good machinability
- non-magnetisable
- suitable for welding and brazing
- food-safe according to EN 602
Note: The profiles are suspended via the open ends using U-hooks. This creates small uncoated contact points at the profile ends. If required, these can be concealed with a touch-up pen (optionally available from us). These contact points are process-related and do not constitute a defect.
With slim or large-format profiles, thermal influence during coating may cause deviations from straightness. The usability of the profile remains unaffected.
The powder coating is applied all around to the outer surfaces. This slightly increases the external dimensions of the square tube. The coating thickness is approx. 0.06–0.08 mm per side, increasing width and height accordingly. With additional primer, the total coating build-up may increase.
The sawn end faces are not coated, are unfinished and not deburred.
Slight variations in colour shade or surface appearance compared to product images are possible due to batch differences and may vary depending on display settings.
