Solid square bar from an extruder
Aluminium (aluminum) square bar is a solid section with four equal faces. It is cut, drilled and machined into blocks, guides, keys, frames and decorative parts. Snalco extrudes it in several sizes and supplies it mill finish or anodised, cut to your length.
| Quick answer A 25 x 25 mm square bar weighs about 1.69 kg per metre. Weight = side x side x 0.0027. Use 6061-T6 for machined parts and 6063 for finish. |

Square bar or square tube?
- Choose square bar when you will machine the part, need solid stock, or want maximum stiffness in a small section.
- Choose square tube when weight matters and the section carries bending, as in frames and rails.
- Square bar costs more per metre than tube of the same outside size because it uses more metal.
Uses
- Machine parts, guides, slides and keys
- Furniture and shopfitting
- Frames for advertising and display
- Transport and consumer goods
- Sports equipment
- Electronics enclosures and brackets
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.
- Own extrusion plant at Kosamba, Surat, built around a 1600 UST four-column hydraulic press that handles 6 inch and 7 inch billets.
- A working quality lab: spectrometer for chemistry, UTS machine, Rockwell and Brinell hardness testers, conductivity meter, metallurgical microscope and a profile projector for dimensions.
- 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.
