What is 6060 aluminum extrusion
Dimensions and specifications of 6060 aluminum:
The cross sectional size of 6060 aluminum profiles is 60 x 60mm.
It is available in two main sizes of slot width: 8mm and 10mm. wherein, profiles with a slot width of 8mm are double-slot profiles (models such as 001.08.60.60), while profiles with a slot width of 10mm are single-slot profiles (models 001.010.60.60L, 001.010.60.60W).
– Within these specifications, there are standard, light and heavy profiles to meet different application requirements.
1. Its connecting fittings:
6060 aluminum profile fittings are generally connected using external corner pieces 6060 T-bolts, 3030M8 and flange nuts M8.
Profiles with a slot width of 8mm are fixed with cylindrical head bolts M8, while profiles with a slot width of 10mm are fixed with cylindrical head M12 and cross-fixed with special bolts M8 or M12.
Advantages of 6060 aluminum extrusion:
1. High strength and durability:
Aluminum 6060 has high strength properties and good corrosion resistance, able to withstand large loads and pressures without deformation or fracture. This gives it a significant advantage in areas that require high stress and high strength support. 2.
2. Excellent processability and molding performance:
The profile has good processing performance and can be processed into various shapes to form a good modeling effect. At the same time, its molding performance is also better, to meet the needs of different application scenarios.
3. Wide range of applications:
6060 aluminum extrusion is widely used in a variety of fields that require large stress and high strength support.
Such as heavy-duty measuring equipment racks, large workshop intelligent transformation production lines, large robot safety guards, heavy aluminum profile equipment frames and so on. In addition, it has a wide range of applications in construction, decoration, transportation and machinery manufacturing.
4. Easy to install and maintain:
As the connecting fittings of 6060 aluminum extrusion are well-designed, it makes its installation process simple and fast. Meanwhile, the maintenance cost is relatively low due to its good corrosion resistance.

Disadvantages of 6060 aluminum extrusion:
1. Price factor: 6060 aluminum may be more expensive compared to some traditional materials. This may limit its application in some cost-sensitive areas.
2. Poor high-temperature performance: Compared with some high-temperature alloys, the high-temperature performance of 6060 aluminum may be slightly inferior. Therefore, special attention needs to be paid to its performance when used in high temperature environments.
Application areas:
6060 aluminum due to its high strength, high stability, corrosion resistance and easy to install and other characteristics.
It is widely used in a variety of areas that require high stress and high strength support. Such as heavy-duty measuring equipment racks, large-scale intelligent transformation of the workshop production line, large-scale robot safety guards, heavy-duty aluminum equipment frames and so on.
Summary:
6060 aluminum is a kind of aluminum profile with various specifications, high strength, high stability, corrosion resistance and easy to install and other characteristics, widely used in a variety of fields that require high strength support.
