Aluminum I-beams are extruded profiles made of 6060 alloys. Weldable and heat treatable, they are suitable for the most various applications as long as they require strength and corrosion resistance. At Profall we supply aluminum I-beams while dealing also with H sections and several other extruded products, all available in a fully customized way and with the tiniest dimensional tolerances as well.
Aluminum I-beams are products characterized by two horizontal flat edges that form the shape of the letter “I.” They are commonly used for structural purposes to provide support for buildings and structures, but also for framing for trailers, cars, trains, buses, and more.
In our catalog, you will find at least seven different types of aluminum I-beams, but be aware that all of them can be customized according to the final application.
In addition, if you don’t find what you are looking for in the table above, you can ask for a 100% custom supply of I-beams, designed and manufactured based on your needs and wants.
The main feature of I-beam consists in the fact that their vertical part, commonly called “web”, can resist shear forces, while the flat edges resist the bending caused by the beam. That is the reason why they are so often used for structural purposes.
In this sense, choosing a supply of aluminum I-beams instead of other materials provides several advantages like:
How many kinds of aluminum I-beams are there? The answer is simple: as many as your needs. As a matter of fact, the surface, the colors, the dimensions can be customized according to the final application.
But there is more, because we are not simple I-beam suppliers: we offer you a complete customer service, from the start till the end, when you receive your supply, and also give you after-sales technical support.
Read on here:
>> Are you after I-beams with special dimensional tolerances? Well, the making of aluminum extrusions with the tiniest dimensions is our strong suit.
>> Are you looking for I-beams that have unique surface characteristics? Due to our constant investment in R&D, we are able to supply I-beams with special surface treatments by using advanced brushing techniques to remove impurities and guarantee any color, hardness and sheen requirement.
>> Do you need only a small supply of aluminum I-beams? We give you the chance to submit small orders of extruded profiles, starting from 200 Kg.
>> You don’t have much time, do you? We can supply I-beams and any other kind of aluminum extrusion in a short time. After analyzing your request and getting back to you with feasibility feedback, it takes just two business weeks to finish prototyping and pre-serial production.
>> Are you in the US, in Australia, in Japan or in any other country around the world? No problem: as aluminum I-beam suppliers we are able to ship our products worldwide and at reasonable shipping charges.
>> What scares you is the post-sales assistance? No worries: we provide after-sales technical support. If technical or compliance-related issues arise, our technicians are at your complete disposal to analyze and resolve the problem as quickly as possible.
These extruded profiles are usually made from aluminum alloys belonging to the 6060 series. The reason is quite simple: this family of alloys is characterized by ease of processing and welding and is best used for customized extrusions employed in many industrial and structural uses.
More in details, we use the 6060 series of alloys to make and supply aluminum I-beams because they offer:
