This square aluminium bar from RS PRO is a good choice for your high-stress construction applications such as trusses. 6082-T6 aluminium is a structural alloy with high corrosion resistance, so you can use it outdoors or in moist environments without compromising its integrity.
The aluminium cuts well when machined, making it easy to work with and the bar combines a tensile strength of 310 MPa with the natural lightweight construction of aluminium. This means it's well-suited to high-stress machines such as cranes, which need both heavy-duty and light components. This tough metal is suitable for transport infrastructure, including bridges. On a smaller scale, you'll find it in beer barrels and milk churns.
