What are the different materials used in aluminum profiles?

Aluminum profiles are primarily made from aluminum alloys, which can include different elements to enhance properties such as strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. Commonly used alloys are 6063, 6061, and 6082. Other materials may include magnesium, silicon, copper, manganese, and zinc, which are added to achieve specific alloy characteristics. Some profiles may also incorporate reinforcing materials like fiberglass or steel for added strength, or coatings such as anodized layers, powder coating, or paint for improved aesthetics and corrosion resistance.
