What is 5050 Aluminum Extrusion
5050 aluminum extrusion is a commonly used industrial aluminum extrusion. Its cross-section size is 50×50mm and its inner groove is curved with a width of 10mm and a depth of 8mm.It is suitable for m6-m8 nuts, bolts and other accessories.
This aluminum profile is usually extruded from aluminum bar made of 6063-T5, which has excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance, chemical resistance and processing performance.
Its features:
1. Wide application:
This type of aluminum due to its versatility and modular design. It can be widely used in all kinds of mechanical equipment structure. Such as assembly line workshop workbench, workshop frame enclosure, anti-static workbench, workshop operating table, etc.
In addition, it can also be used to manufacture a variety of equipment and structures such as speed chain assembly workbench, mechanical dust guard, equipment guardrail, modular sliding table, office partitions, office workbench, shelves, cabinets, tower aluminum ladder and so on.

2. Easy assembly:
As 5050 aluminum has the characteristics of modularization and multifunctionality. Therefore, without complicated design and processing, it can quickly construct the ideal mechanical equipment structure. Its grooves can be scribed into corner codes to mount other components.
3. High strength and low maintenance:
This type of aluminum is lighter in mass than stainless steel and other metal materials. It has good strength when manufactured using aluminum alloy 6063 or 6061.
It can handle impacts and crowd shocks. The exterior does not need to be repainted and is able to stay rust-free in humid environments. It is simple and easy to clean and maintain at a later stage.
Its disadvantages:
1. High price:
The price of 5050 aluminum extrusion can be high compared to some common aluminum materials.
This may increase the cost of some projects and limit its application in some cost-sensitive areas. If the budget is low it is not suitable to use 5050 aluminum as material.
2. Poor high temperature performance:
Compared with some other metal materials, 5050 aluminum extrusion may have poor high temperature performance.
In a high temperature environment, its performance may be affected, resulting in deformation or failure. Therefore, careful consideration is needed when using it in high temperature situations.
To summarize
5050 Aluminum Extrusion is an aluminum profile with a size of 50×50. It is used in a wide range of applications, and its ease of installation and low maintenance costs make it a favorite among builders. However, its price and high temperature performance limit its use.
