The mechanical properties of aluminum profiles depend on the alloy composition and heat treatment condition.
Typical properties include:
- Tensile strength: usually between 150 MPa and 310 MPa
- Yield strength: generally between 100 MPa and 280 MPa
- Density: approximately 2.7 g/cm³
- Elastic modulus: around 69 GPa
These properties make aluminum profiles strong enough for many structural applications while maintaining a lightweight design.
Additionally, aluminum profiles have good fatigue resistance and thermal conductivity, making them suitable for industrial machinery, building structures, and transportation systems.
