Aluminum Flat Bar Rectangular&Square 6063 2024 7075
What is the aluminum flat bar?
An aluminum flat bar is a type of metal bar that is rectangular and square in cross-section and made from aluminum. The aluminum rectangular bar,square bar and flat bus bar all belongs to the catagory. It has properties: light-weight, corrosion-resistant, conductive, non-magnetic.
What are the differences of the aluminum rectangular bar, square bar and flat bus bar?
Generally different shapes and cross-sections：
Aluminum Flat bus Bar has rectangular in cross-section, with a larger width compared to their thickness, giving them a "flat" appearance.
Aluminum rectangular bar also rectangular, but the term "rectangular bar" may be used when the width and thickness are closer in size compared to flat bars, usually, the width is not as disproportionately larger than the thickness as in flat bars.
Aluminum square bar, square in cross-section. Equal width and thickness, creating a square profile.
What usage of aluminum flat bars
Aluminum flat bus bars: used in electrical switchboards, panel boards, power distribution systems, and renewable energy systems, typically 1060,1070,1350, 6101 aluminum offer high electrical conductivity and thermal performace, with excellent electrical properties.
Rectangular aluminum bar: used in a construction, machinery, frameworks, and various industrial components, typically 6060,6061,6063,6082 aluminum offer required strength, machinability, and formability.
Aluminum square bar: commonly used in railings, fences, construction for frameworks, supports, and structural components due to their strength and uniform dimensions. also used in the fabrication of machinery parts, equipment components, and tooling.
Typically 2024, 3003, 5083, 6061, 6063,7075 aluminum alloys.
How thick and how wide of the aluminum flat bars?
Sizes of Aluminum flat bus bar:
Width: 10 mm(0.39 inches) to 150 mm(5.9 inches)
Thickness: 3 mm (0.12 inches) to 25 mm (1 inch)
Sizes of Aluminum rectangular bar:

Thickness: 3 mm (0.12 inches) to 50 mm (1.97 inches)
Sizes of Aluminum square bar:
6 mm(0.24 inches)to 100 mm(3.94 inches)
Offer Custom make and custom cuts Services?
Absolutely! Aluminum square bars, as well as other aluminum profiles like rectangular bars and flat bus bars, can be custom made to meet specific client requirements. This includes not only the dimensions but also the choice of aluminum alloy. Here are some points to consider when custom ordering:
Custom Dimensions
Width and Thickness: Custom widths and thicknesses can be produced outside of the typical range to meet specific project needs.
Length: Bars can be cut to specific lengths as required by the client.
Custom Alloys
6061: Known for its good mechanical properties, weldability, and corrosion resistance. It’s a versatile and commonly used alloy.
6063: Known for its excellent extrudability and surface finish, often used in architectural applications.
7075: Known for its high strength, typically used in high-stress applications such as aerospace.
1350: Often used in electrical applications due to its high conductivity.
Custom Surface Treatments
Anodizing: To enhance corrosion resistance and add color.
Brushing: For a uniform, satin-like finish.
Powder Coating: For added color and protection against corrosion and wear.
Polishing: For a shiny, reflective surface.
Plating: With materials like zinc or nickel for enhanced corrosion resistance and surface hardness.
Custom Fabrication Services
Cutting: To precise lengths as specified.
Drilling: Pre-drilled holes for ease of installation.
Bending/Forming: Custom shapes and forms to meet specific design requirements.
