Aluminum angle

[Lou]

Does anyone know where I can get 6061 or 2024 aluminum angle
or tubing 1/8inch thick with at least one side 5-6 inches wide?

Oops, just realized you said 1/8 thick...don't see any of that...

Wow, that's an odd one.

The profile is doable, but I don't know of any commercial sources for
it. I'm betting it's going to come out real pricey if you do find any.

Unless you need more than 4 or 8 feet of it, you may have better luck
getting 1/8" 2024 and having it bent on a brake. Or build the section
up from available angle and strip using rivets or screws.

Good luck, Bob K.

You can rivet a piece of extrusion to a web, or you can bend a piece of
flat sheet.

I think it will be quiet around here now. So long.

Speedymetals.com has angle with 5" and 6" legs, but and 3/8" and
1/2" thickness respectively.

Try Alan Steel in Redwood city CA, They will not have the 2024 but they
stock a lot of 6061 extrusions.

metalsupermarkets.com has 6063T52 unequal angle (5X3 or 5X4) in 1/8 inch.

Yea, I've found the 6063 everywhere. Now if you can tell me the
difference between the 6063 and the 6061
I might learn something. The only stuff I can find is very vague.
Sometimes I think they purposly
don't tell you things.

6063-T52 Aluminum
Minimum Properties Ultimate Tensile Strength, psi 27,000
Yield Strength, psi 21,000
Brinell Hardness 60
Chemistry Aluminum (Al) 97.5% max
Chromium (Cr) 0.1% max
Copper (Cu) 0.1% max
Iron (Fe) 0.35% max
Magnesium (Mg) 0.45 - 0.90%
Manganese (Mn) 0.1% max
Silicon (Si) 0.2 - 0.6%



6061-T6 Aluminum
Physical and Mechanical Properties Ultimate Tensile Strength, psi
45,000
Yield Strength, psi 40,000
Brinell Hardness 95
Rockwell Hardness B60
Chemistry Aluminum (Al) 95.8 - 98.6%
Chromium (Cr) 0.04 - 0.35%
Copper (Cu) 0.15 - 0.40%
Magnesium (Mg) 0.8 - 1.2%
Manganese (Mn) 0.15% max
Silicon (Si) 2.8 - 3.8%
Zinc (Zn) 1.5% max


So 6063 is about HALF the strength of 6061. A bit better than half as
hard. No zink, very little Silicon, half the magnesium, quarter the
copper, etc etc.

Totally different stuff (generally used for architectural extrusions -
non structural)

And . . . when you shop at Boeing Surplus, you wind up with some very
strange alloys in your airplane:

7075-T6511
&
7050-T76511

were among the scraps in my shop.
