Aluminum U channel is used in almost all industries and is an excellent material for a considerable number of applications including protective edges, covers, railing, rims, window and door frames, trim, cladding, brackets, tracks, slides, clamps, and more.

Structural aluminum U channel (6061-T6) incorporates the most commonly used 6061 aluminum alloy, making it sought-after for its strength, heat treatability, machinability, weldability, and good finishing characteristics. The fact that it is well-suited for anodizing applications only extends the long list of features that make Aluminum U channel a versatile material choice for use in industry and at home.

The 6061-T6 alloy employed in aluminum U channel meets the requirements of heavy-duty structures such as truck and marine components, railroad cars, furniture, tank fittings, general structural and high pressure applications, wire products and in pipelines. Aluminum U channels offer the advantage of low weight yet provide strong structural support.
