There are several different types of aluminum channel such as architectural channels, C channels, Z channels, U channel, slide track channels, hat channels and U channels. Each of these can be cut to fit specific use cases.
Aluminum channel products are also available in several different grades including 6061 and 6063.
6061 aluminum channel (also known as structural ) is an aluminum grade used for all types of fabrication projects where lightweight and corrosion resistance are a priority including braces, supports and frame work. Alloyed with silicon and magnesium, this grade is resistant to corrosion, stress and cracking but is not easy to bend or cold work.
6063 aluminum channel (also known as architectural aluminum trim channel) is an aluminum grade with sharp, right angle inside and outside corners. It offers high tensile strength, high corrosion resistance and its excellent formability. The 6063 grade is widely used for frame work, brackets, and interior and exterior architectural trim because of its shiny finish.
