Anodized 6063 T5 20x20 Aluminium T Track Extrusions Tempered

6000 Series 8kg/M T Slot Flat Anodizing Aluminum Profile

Auminium as most of metals, requires heat treatments to obtain the desired mechanical properties. For aluminium, as to nickel or titanium, the hardening process is by aging. For this reason is important define the heat treatment according to the application. The three more common heat treatments applied to aluminium profiles are:

T4: Tempered from the solution temperature by forced air, natural aging.
T5: Tempering treatment from the extrusion temperature using forced air, then artificial aging. It is the most common heat treatment on aluminum profiles to doors and windows profiles.
T6: Tempered from the solution temperature by water (under 40ºC) and artificial aging.

SURFACE TREATMENTS
The followings are the most common surface treatments of our aluminum profiles, to allow our customers satisfaction for any constructive necessity.

• Polished: is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or using a chemical action.
• Anodized: is a characteristic aluminium coating, this method consist on increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of aluminium parts, to obtain greater strength and durability components.
• Powder coating: it can produce thicker coatings than conventional liquid coatings without running or sagging.
