Aluminium Flat Bar 40mm x 8mm
Description
The 40mm x 8mm aluminium flat bar is a high-strength industrial-grade extrusion profile manufactured from EN AW-6063 aluminium alloy in T6 temper. With its solid 8 mm thickness and broad 40 mm face, this profile offers exceptional rigidity, compressive strength, and durability—making it ideal for structural and mechanical assemblies in demanding operating conditions.
Engineered for performance, this profile is frequently used in machine bases, structural mounts, tooling plates, and load-bearing frames where stability and resistance to deflection are critical. The 8 mm thickness allows it to handle dynamic loads while maintaining excellent dimensional accuracy throughout machining and installation.
Supplied with a smooth mill finish, the bar supports all standard fabrication processes including CNC milling, drilling, cutting, and welding. It is also available with anodised or powder-coated finishes to enhance surface protection and aesthetic appeal in industrial or architectural settings.
Each bar is delivered in 6-metre standard lengths. Cut-to-size and custom surface treatment options are available for volume procurement.
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.
