Aluminium Flat Bar 38mm x 4.8mm
Description
The 38mm x 4.8mm aluminium flat bar is a precision-extruded profile made from EN AW-6063 aluminium alloy in T6 temper. Its wide 38 mm face and reinforced 4.8 mm thickness provide an optimal balance of strength, rigidity, and surface area—making it ideal for industrial and architectural applications that demand both coverage and mechanical stability.
Typical use cases include support rails, structural cladding elements, mounting brackets, and customised fabrication components. The profile’s dimensions allow for excellent load distribution and secure fastening in static assemblies or moving systems.
Supplied with a clean mill finish, this flat bar is compatible with CNC machining, cutting, drilling, and surface treatment processes. For enhanced durability and visual appeal, anodised or powder-coated options are available upon request.
Each bar is supplied in standard 6-metre lengths. Custom cut-to-size and surface finishing services can be provided for volume orders.
We supply aluminium flat bars to manufacturers, fabricators, and contractors seeking consistent quality and reliable supply for their operations.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
