Extruded aluminium flat bar from the manufacturer

Flat bar, also called aluminium strip or flat, is a solid rectangular section. Snalco extrudes it in widths from thin trim up to heavy structural widths, and supplies it mill finish, anodised or polished. Because we press it ourselves, you buy from the manufacturer and not through a chain of traders.

Quick answer A 50 x 6 mm flat bar weighs about 0.81 kg per metre in aluminium (aluminum). Snalco supplies 6063 as standard and 6061 where strength matters, cut to your length.

Indicative sizes and weight

Width x thickness (mm)	Weight (kg/m)	Area (mm2)
20 x 3	0.16	60
25 x 3	0.20	75
25 x 5	0.34	125
40 x 5	0.54	200
50 x 5	0.68	250
50 x 6	0.81	300
50 x 10	1.35	500
75 x 6	1.22	450
100 x 10	2.70	1000

Weight = width x thickness x 0.0027 kg per metre, using a density of 2.70 g/cm3. Ask for other sizes or a custom width.

Ladder parts, door fittings and hanger straps
Electrical connectors and earthing strips (use a suitable conductivity grade)
Furniture, shopfitting and signage
Trim, edging and decorative work
Sports and transport equipment

Choosing between alloys

6063-T5: best surface finish, good for anodising and visible parts.
6061-T6: stronger, for load-bearing brackets and machined parts.
1XXX series: high purity and conductivity, discussed on request for electrical use.

Why Snalco

Billets are cast in-house on an imported Hot Top casting table, so alloy chemistry is controlled from the melt and not bought in blind.
A working quality lab: spectrometer for chemistry, UTS machine, Rockwell and Brinell hardness testers, conductivity meter, metallurgical microscope and a profile projector for dimensions.
Installed capacity of 5,500 MT per year, which suits both repeat project orders and single-section trial lots.
Cutting to length, drilling, punching and machining done at the plant, so you can receive parts ready to fit.

How to order

Section and size: dimensions in mm, wall thickness, and the profile number or drawing.
Alloy and temper: for example 6063-T5, or 6061-T6 where more strength is needed.
Finish: mill finish, anodised, powder coated or another finish from the list above.
Length and quantity: cut lengths in mm or full mill lengths, and the total weight or number of pieces.
Delivery point: a city in India or an export port, so freight and packing can be quoted.

Aluminium Flat Bars Application

Aluminium flat bars are one of the most widely used extrusion materials and can be used in various projects in various industries. Aluminium flat bar is an excellent choice for various construction because its flat and rectangular faces can be customized to the exact size and length that suits your needs.

One of the most common applications of aluminium flat bars is for frame structures. For this application, simply cut the steel bar to the appropriate length, then weld or drill to fit the frame. Especially for construction purposes, a frame made of aluminium flat bar is the right choice because it can bear a lot of weight.

Another popular application of aluminium flat bars is construction support. Whether it is used for ladder hangers, brackets, piping systems, overhead doors or door bolts, aluminium flat bar is the first choice for this environment, providing unparalleled strength, durability and corrosion resistance.

So basically, aluminium flat bars are often used by industrial artists who specialize in large-scale works of art (such as statues). Extruded aluminium bars are best suitable for this application because they are easy to form, but become very durable after the forging process.

Frequently asked questions

What is the weight of aluminium flat bar per metre?

Multiply width in mm by thickness in mm and then by 0.0027. For a 40 x 5 mm bar that is 200 x 0.0027 = 0.54 kg per metre.

What is the price of aluminium flat bar per kg?

Price depends on the aluminium rate on the day, the alloy, the finish and the quantity. Send your sizes and tonnage for a current quote.

Is aluminium strip the same as flat bar?

In practice yes. Strip usually means thinner sections and flat bar the thicker ones, but both are solid rectangular sections.

Can you supply anodised aluminum flat bar?

Yes. Anodised, powder coated, polished and mill finish are all available.

Which alloy should I choose?

Use 6063-T5 for finish and general use, and 6061-T6 where the bar must carry more load or be machined.
