Aluminium in a range of sizes and profiles

Aluminium is a widely used metal in construction, manufacturing, engineering and fabrication industries. Lightweight, strong, naturally corrosion-resistant and highly workable, aluminium offers an excellent combination of practical and structural properties that make it suitable for an extensive range of applications.

Edcon Steel offers customers 8 premium-quality profiles and alloys to choose from, and we cut to your specified length, so you only pay for what you need.

In this article, we highlight four of our popular sections: C-Section Channel, equal- and unequal-angle, flat bar, and sheet & plate. In our next article, we’ll take a look at round bar, square bar, tee bar and tubular sections.

Aluminium C-Section channels: Sizes and applications

Aluminium C-section channels are a versatile structural and finishing product. The distinctive C-shaped profile provides a combination of strength, lightweight construction and corrosion resistance. Aluminium C-section channels are preferred for framing, edging, supports, protective trims and general fabrication.

Edcon Steel offers 32 aluminium C-section channel variations. The selection offers customers a range of profile dimensions and material thicknesses to suit various project requirements.

We offer Australia-wide delivery, and you can buy online through our superstore and collect if preferred. Big and one-off single orders are available.

Aluminium angle – Sizes and applications

Aluminium angle is a popular metal profile used across construction, fabrication, engineering and architectural applications. Featuring a 90-degree L-shaped profile, aluminium angle offers a combination of strength, lightweight construction, and corrosion resistance, suitable for framing, brackets, edging, reinforcement, and general fabrication.

Edcon Steel offers 56 aluminium angle variations, including equal and unequal angle profiles. This provides customers with a comprehensive selection of dimensions and material thicknesses. The available range includes equal angles from 12 x 12 x 1.6 mm to 80 x 80 x 6 mm, and unequal angles from 20 x 12 x 1.6 mm to 125 x 50 x 3 mm.

Supplied in Aluminium Alloy 6060 T5, with tensile ˜185MPa (T5) cut to specification and available at one of our five NSW locations. Brookvale, Revesby, Blacktown, Bathurst, and Orange. Australia-wide delivery, call us or buy online through our superstore. No minimum order required.

Aluminium flat bar – Sizes and applications

Aluminium flat bar is a solid rectangular profile used across construction, fabrication, engineering and manufacturing. Its combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of machining makes it suitable for brackets, supports, framing, edging, reinforcement, and general fabrication projects.

Edcon Steel supplies aluminium flat bar manufactured from 6060 T5 aluminium alloy in a range of 64 sizes, from approximately 10 mm to 200 mm in width, with material thicknesses ranging from 1.6 mm to 12 mm. Standard 4-metre lengths are available, with 6-metre lengths on request and custom cutting to suit individual project specifications.

We stock an extensive inventory of Aluminium flat bar at one of our five NSW locations. Brookvale, Revesby, Blacktown, Bathurst, and Orange. Australia-wide delivery, and we cater to large and one-off orders.

Aluminium sheet & plate – Sizes and applications

Aluminium sheet and plate are multi-use flat metal products used in construction, fabrication, engineering, marine and architectural projects. Lightweight strength, corrosion resistance and ease of fabrication make them ideal for cladding, flooring, protective panels, toolboxes, vehicle components and general fabrication.

Edcon Steel offers three aluminium sheet and plate product categories: flat sheet, 5-bar tread plate and propeller plate, available in aluminium grades 5005, 5052 and 3003.

Standard sheet dimensions are generally 2400 x 1200 mm, with larger 3000 x 1500 mm sheets available in selected thicknesses. Stock thicknesses range from approximately 0.5 mm to 6 mm, with heavier plate available by special order.

Aluminium sheet and plate are available from our Brookvale, Revesby, Blacktown, Bathurst, and Orange locations. Alternatively, you can order online through our superstore for Australia-wide delivery. We service builders, tradies, project managers and DIY customers.
