What is a T-slotted Aluminum Extrusion

T-slotted aluminum extrusion is aluminum driven out in a T-shape from a mold. An aluminum extrusion alloy is a predetermined mixture of one or more elements together with aluminum to be heated and hydraulically pressed through an extrusion die. The most common aluminum alloying elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, chromium, silicon, iron, nickel, and zinc.

The t-slotted aluminum extrusion is a modular channel, and it's easy to be connected with other aluminum parts without needing to be welded or clamped. T-slotted aluminum is highly durable, versatile, and less costly for custom structures and frames. It is also resistant to corrosion and doesn't need to be painted. It is incompatible with creating structures like these from steel or other materials because it can be costly, increase labor time, and limit flexibility. 

EXTRUSION SPECIFICATIONS

  • Alloy – 6560 or equivalent*, T6 Temper. 

  • Yield Strength (0.2% proof test) – 172 mpa = 25 ksi.
  • Tensile Strength (.02% proof test) – 206 mpa = 30 ksi. 
  • Elasticity (E) – approximately 10,000 ksi. 
  • Hardness – 12+ Webster Model "B."
  • Flatness – .004" per inch of width. 
  • Straightness - .0125" per foot, not exceeding .120 inches over 20 feet of length.
  • Twist – Twist per foot of length does not exceed .25°, and total twist over 20 feet of length does not exceed 1.5°.

 

Also, T-slots have a spring lock feature where extrusions have a 2° taper that spring locks fasteners as they are tightened and will not loosen under heavy vibration.

T-slots Vs. Welded steel

Welded steel disadvantages: 

  • Special equipment, welder
