Aluminum angle
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? Lou

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.

Try Alan Steel in Redwood city CA, They will not have the 2024 but they
stock a lot of 6061 extrusions. D "Lou" wrote in message ups.com... 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? Lou

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. Lou

Lou 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) -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
