What is a V-shaped aluminum bar?

A V-shaped aluminum bar (also known as V-shaped aluminum extrusion) is an aluminum product with a V-shaped cross-section, typically produced by extrusion from pure aluminum or specialized aluminum alloys. Thanks to its characteristic 90° angle structure, the V-shaped aluminum bar ensures good load-bearing capacity and is easy to install in various applications, especially for protecting and decorating corners.

Characteristics of V-shaped aluminum bars:

Light and durable: Much lighter than steel but still ensures durability and load-bearing capacity for medium and light structures.
Corrosion resistance: The natural oxide layer on the surface helps prevent oxidation, suitable for humid or coastal environments.
Easy to process: Can be cut, drilled, welded, bent, or surface treated (anodized, powder coated) as required.
High aesthetics: Easily integrated into interior and exterior decoration due to its smooth surface and high gloss.

Applications of V-shaped aluminum bars:

Construction: Protects and decorates wall corners, table edges, door frames; used as structural trim and corner trim.
Furniture: Used as frames, trim, and decorative edges for cabinets, shelves, and partitions.
Mechanical engineering: Used as frame structures, brackets, or machine parts.
Electrical industry: Used as brackets, protective frames, and installation trim for electrical cabinets.
Shipbuilding industry: Protects edges and structures subjected to mechanical impact, with good corrosion resistance.

Common aluminum alloy grades used for V-shaped aluminum bars:

Aluminum 6061: High strength, good corrosion resistance, suitable for load-bearing structures.
Aluminum 6063: Smooth surface, easy to anodize, high aesthetic appeal, common in construction.
Aluminum 5052: Superior corrosion resistance, suitable for marine environments.
Aluminum 1100: Soft, easy to bend, suitable for light decorative applications.
Aluminum 7075: Very high hardness and tensile strength, used for heavy-duty applications.
