Aluminum tee, also known as aluminum T-bar, is a versatile extruded profile renowned for its weldability, heat treatability, corrosion resistance, and exceptional machinability. This page explores its common uses, advantages, available grades, and why Metric Metal is your preferred supplier for all aluminum tee requirements.
Common Uses for Aluminum Tee
Featuring sharp inside and outside corners and the potential for anodization, aluminum tee finds application in a wide range of uses:
- Architectural applications: Aluminum tee finds prominent use in the architectural and construction industry due to its exceptional combination of strength and lightweight properties. Architects and builders frequently turn to aluminum T-bars for structural supports, trim work, and custom fittings. Their ability to maintain structural integrity while reducing weight makes it a go-to choice for innovative architectural designs.
- Marine-grade quality: In marine applications, where exposure to harsh environmental conditions is a constant concern, aluminum tee stands out as an ideal material. Its inherent corrosion resistance ensures that it can withstand the rigors of saltwater and other corrosive elements. Whether for boat building or waterfront structures, aluminum T-bars excel in maintaining their integrity in demanding marine environments.
Advantages of Aluminum Tee
Aluminum tee presents several advantages over alternative materials:
- Corrosion resistance: Aluminum T-bar’s resistance to corrosion makes it ideal for applications exposed to harsh weather or chemicals. It maintains its structural integrity even in challenging environments, reducing maintenance requirements.
- Lightweight with strength: Aluminum tee offers impressive strength while remaining lightweight. This combination enables efficient designs that prioritize both structural stability and weight reduction.
- Machinability: Aluminum T-bar is easily machined and fabricated, enabling precise customization for various applications. Its extruded profile with sharp corners adds versatility for a wide range of uses.
- Anodization capability: The surface of the aluminum tee can be anodized, providing enhanced protection and an attractive finish. Anodization also allows for color customization.
Aluminum Tee Grades
The preferred grade being offered is 6060 aluminum. This grade strikes a balance between strength, machinability, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for many architectural, construction, and marine applications.
