Aluminium Sections
Types, Properties, Uses & Manufacturing Overview
What Are Aluminium Sections
Aluminium sections are extruded profiles created with specific cross-sectional geometries designed to fulfill precise structural or functional roles. Unlike simple raw materials, these sections are engineered to distribute load effectively and integrate seamlessly into larger assemblies. They are generally categorized based on their complexity.
Solid Sections
Robust profiles without enclosed voids (e.g., flat bars, rods).
Hollow Sections
Profiles featuring one or more enclosed "cells" (e.g., tubes, square sections).
Semi-Hollow Sections
Partially enclosed profiles designed for specific interlocking or mounting functions.
Common Types of Aluminium Sections
Aluminium section is one of the most widely used metal forming processes in modern manufacturing. It allows aluminium to be shaped into complex, uniform cross-sections that combine structural strength, dimensional accuracy, and long-term durability. Because aluminium is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and recyclable, extruded aluminium components are used extensively across construction, infrastructure, transportation, electrical systems, renewable energy, and industrial machinery.
