Description:

Aluminium 6060 is an Al-Mg-Si series 6000 grade alloy with a moderate strength. It is commonly used in the manufacture of machined parts for various industries.This is a heat treatable alloy of aluminum with low strength. It has good resistance to corrosion, good weldability and very suitable for cold forming. It is applied in the production of lightings, furniture, flooring and other engineering applications with no special strength requirement.

  • CNC machined part without surface finishes (3D render, aluminium)
    Bead blasting (3D render)
    dragger

    Bead blasting

    Bead blasting involves spraying a pressurised stream of tiny beads of media, plastic or glass beads, from a nozzle onto the surface of the part. This removes the burrs and imperfections, leaving a smooth finish.

    Notes:

    The recommended part size is 6-600 mm in both height and width. Smaller parts are hard to hold and tough to produce an even surface.

    Final result:

    • Uniform, matte or satin-like appearance
    • Slightly grainy in the touch

    Anodizing (Type II)

    Type II anodize provides increased corrosion resistance and can be used as a base for paint and other finishes.

    Notes:
    • Involves using dyes to affect the part’s surface color
    • Type II coatings are susceptible to wear and may bleach or fade under prolonged direct sunlight
    • Possibility of requesting custom colors (RAL)

    Available colors:

    • Any custom RAL color
  • Electroless nickel plating (3D render)

    Electroless nickel plating

    Electroless nickel plating provides a uniform nickel coating, which offers protection from corrosion, oxidation, and wear on irregular surfaces.

    Final result:

    • Protection from corrosion, oxidation and wear on irregular surfaces
    • Brighter appearance
  • Electropolishing (3D render)

    Electropolishing

    An electrochemical process that cleans steel parts to reduce corrosion and improve appearance by making the metal brighter.

    Final result:

    • Reduced corrosion
    • Brighter appearance
  • Gold plating (3D render)

    Gold plating

    Gold plating provides good corrosion and tarnish resistance. Gold has low contact resistance, excellent conductivity, and solderability.

    Final result:

    • Gold-like appearance
    • Increased corrosion and tarnish resistance
  • Passivation (3D render)

    Passivation

    A colorless coating that improves corrosion resistance for 200 and 300 series and precipitation hardened corrosion-resistant steels by removing free iron from the surface.

  • Powder Coating Black (3D Render)

    Powder coating

    Provides a continuous, protective color finish on parts using evenly applied, heat-cured paint. The finish is usually tougher and even compared to conventional painting.

    Notes:

    Metals like aluminium and steel can be efficiently coated with polymer powders.

    Available colors:

    • Any custom RAL color
  • Zinc plating (3D render)

    Zinc coating / Galvanising

    Zinc plating involves the electrodeposition of a thin coating of zinc metal onto the surface of another metal object, known as a substrate. The zinc coating creates a physical barrier that prevents rust from reaching the underlying metal surface.

    Final result:

    • Increased corrosion resistance
