Once you have selected one of our American Standard Parts, you just need to add your metric requirement in the RFQ. For example, for a Threaded Spacer, the metric requirement might be “M 3.5 x 0.6 Thread”. Below you’ll find details on conversions and dimensions that will help you order parts like metric screws and standoffs. The standard controlling its composition is maintained by The Aluminum Association. It has generally good mechanical properties and is heat treatable and weldable. It is NOT recommended to weld anodized aluminum. Tensile strength (σ t): 30,000 psi. Density (ρ): 0.10 lbs/in 3. Melting temperature (T m): 615 °C (1,139 °F).

T-slot structural framing is a framing system consisting of lengths of square or rectangular extruded aluminum, typically 6105-T5 aluminium alloy, with a T-slot down the centerline of one or more sides. It is also known as 80/20 framing, after the company 80/20, Inc., one of the prominent T-slot framing brands, the name of which is based on the 80/20 principle. While there is no published standard defining this framing system, manufacturers have settled into two categories of product comprising several series each that is generally intercompatible across manufacturers.

Profiles[edit]

T-slot framing is divided into metric and fractional (imperial) categories. The T-slot is always centered along the long-axis of the piece. Pieces are available in each series with a square cross-section. Rectangular cross sections are available as well which measure x by 2x (where x is the defined width) - e.g. 40mx80mm for 40 series.
