BRUNNER ENTERPRISES
AMERICA‘S PREMIER DISTRIBUTOR OF ALUMINUM EXTRUSIONS
With over three decades of experience in aluminum manufacturing, Brunner Enterprises™ Inc. serves as a comprehensive provider of aluminum angles. Those seeking solutions that encompass lightweight strength, corrosion resistance, conductivity, and other unique properties will gain from a deeper insight into the various characteristics of aluminum angles and their industrial applications.
What Are Aluminum ANGLEs?
Aluminum Angles consist of two legs—of equal or unequal lengths—arranged to form a 90 degree angle. Due to their material strength and lightweight construction, these components are suitable for use in structural and general engineering and manufacturing applications across a wide range of industries, including building, construction, and transportation.
MATERIAL Characteristics of Aluminum ANGLES
Aluminum is used to fabricate angles due to its strength. In addition to this quality, it demonstrates the following characteristics:
- Excellent weldability.
- Moderate machining and grinding capabilities.
- Poor bending and forming capabilities.
- Moderate wear resistance.
- Moderate corrosion resistance.
Additionally, the material exhibits the following mechanical properties:
- Tensile strength – 45 ksi.
- Yield point – 45 ksi.
- Shear strength – 30 ksi.
- Elasticity – 10 ksi.
- Elongation in 2 inches – 17%.
- Fatigue Limit – 14 ksi.
- Brinell Hardness – 95.
- Melting Point – 1220F.
Applications of Aluminum ANGLEs
Aluminum Angles are used in a wide range of general structural applications, including:
- Trailers.
- Safety cages.
- Walkways.
- Farming equipment.
- Scaffolding.
- Ship & building equipment.
- Transmission towers.
More specifically, typical applications for 6061 aluminum include braces, supports, and truck beds, while 6063 aluminum angles are used in construction appliances, architectural trim, racks, automotive appliances, and machine parts.
In addition to structural applications, aluminum angles are also widely employed in the engineering industries, including for railcars, cooling towers, and ground transportation systems. Since 6063 aluminum is often anodized, angles made from the material are more suitable for these engineering applications than structural designs.
…OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE A SUPERIOR PRODUCT AT A FAIR PRICE.
Aluminum angles are crucial components in structural, engineering, and manufacturing applications. While, in general, the properties of material facilitate their employment in these applications, specific materials are more suited to use cases over others. Brunner Enterprises™ Inc. offers both standard aluminum angles, and the services to create custom aluminum extruded angles, to suit the needs of your specific application. In addition to extrusions, we also offer design, fabrication, and finishing services to create virtually any extruded part or components.
