Features of u shaped aluminum channel

Aluminum u channels have the characteristics of light weight, high strength, good corrosion resistance, non-magnetic, easy to extrude and good low temperature performance. Therefore, u shaped aluminum channels can be welded to create a variety of structural frames. Welding with aluminum alloys reduces the weight of the structure by more than 50 % compared to steel sheet materials.
These characteristics make aluminum u channels more widely used, in addition to the field of building decoration, but also in aviation, aerospace and electrical engineering, petrochemical industry and other fields.
