Description
Rectangular aluminium tube 40×50×2 mm – closed profile EN AW-6060, L=2000 mm
The rectangular aluminium tube 40×50×2 mm is a robust closed-section profile with a rectangular cross-section, made from EN AW-6060 T64 alloy (AlMgSi0.5 / PA38). Thanks to its excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio, it is a popular choice among professionals building lightweight aluminium structures, frames, supports, and balustrades. The profile is supplied in a 2000 mm length with a mill finish (non-anodised surface) — ready for further processing, anodising, or powder coating.
Dimensions and cross-section parameters
- External width (A): 40 mm
- External height (B): 50 mm
- Wall thickness (T): 2 mm
- Profile length: 2000 mm
- Dimensions (W × H × L): 40 × 50 × 2000 mm
Material and finish
- Aluminium alloy: EN AW-6060 T64 (AlMgSi0.5 / PA38 / 3.3206)
- Surface: mill finish (non-anodised)
- Profile weight: 1.84 kg (linear weight 0.92 kg/m)
Ease of processing and versatility of applications
The EN AW-6060 alloy belongs to the group of aluminium with very good machinability — the profile can be easily cut, drilled, tapped, bent, and welded using MIG/TIG methods. The rectangular closed section provides high bending and torsional stiffness at low weight, making it an ideal structural element for lightweight constructions.
Typical applications
- Aluminium structures and load-bearing frames
- Balustrades and handrails
- Frames, supports, and shelving
- Furniture and interior fittings
- Decorative and finishing elements
- Scale modelling and DIY projects
The profile is part of a wide range of rectangular aluminium tubes — available in many cross-sectional size and wall thickness variants, allowing the optimum profile to be selected for the requirements of any given project.
