Aluminum Channel

Competitive Metals stocks a large variety of aluminum channel in both 6061 and 6063 alloys. 6063 aluminum channel or "architectural" aluminum angle as it's sometimes referred to as, has a sharp inside corner and is commonly used to trim outdoors, mount solar panels, and cap edges where finish is more important than strength. 6061 aluminum channel has a radiused inside corner for added strength and rigidity. If you're looking for an aluminum channel that is more suited for a load bearing or structural application, the 6061 alloy is what you're looking for.
