Aluminum Flat Bar and Strip Extrusion Profiles
Precision aluminum flat bars and strips for fabrication, structural, and decorative applications.
Product Overview
The aluminum flat bar is one of the most fundamental profiles in metal fabrication. Simple in geometry, versatile in application, and available in a wide range of sizes, flat bars are used everywhere from structural reinforcement to decorative trim. What separates a good flat bar from a mediocre one is dimensional consistency — the width and thickness need to be uniform along the entire length, and the surface needs to be flat enough to make good contact with mating components.
We manufacture flat bars from 10mm to 200mm wide, in thicknesses from 2mm to 25mm. The 6063-T5 alloy is standard for most applications — it provides good extrudability and surface quality, with adequate strength for structural uses. For higher-strength applications, 6063-T6 or 6061-T6 is available.
In Southeast Asia, aluminum flat bars are used extensively in the construction of shopfront signage, retail display fixtures, and architectural trim. The combination of light weight, corrosion resistance, and ease of cutting and drilling makes aluminum the preferred material over steel for these applications. A sign fabricator in Ho Chi Minh City can cut, drill, and assemble an aluminum flat bar sign frame in a fraction of the time required for steel, with no welding or painting required.
For structural applications — such as the horizontal rails in a balustrade system or the reinforcing bars in a composite panel — we supply flat bars with tight dimensional tolerances (width ±0.15mm, thickness ±0.10mm) and verified mechanical properties. The flatness tolerance is 0.5mm over 1,000mm length, ensuring good contact with mating surfaces.

Compatibility, Assembly and Order Controls
For modular framing, a nominal outer size is not enough to establish compatibility. Confirm the supplied section drawing, slot geometry, core-hole arrangement, connector family and cut/machining references before a mixed-series order is released.
