Automotive & Defense Industry
High-strength structural and technical profiles in 5000, 6000, and 7000 series alloys for automotive, commercial vehicle superstructures, and defense industry projects.
Lightweight Structural Extrusions for Commercial Vehicles and Transport
Replacing heavy steel members with EN AW-6005A and EN AW-6082 (T6) structural aluminium profiles reduces curb weight and increases payload capacity across trailers, truck bodies, EV battery frames and rail interiors.
Combined with our ±0.1 mm sawing and multi-axis CNC machining center, we deliver ready-to-assemble transport components with full batch traceability.
| Profile Group / Application | Recommended Alloy | Temper | Surface Finish & Tolerance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trailer Sideboards, Floor Planks & Subframes | EN AW-6005A / EN AW-6082 | T6 | High yield strength (EN 755-2), up to 7,000 mm |
| Crash Beams, Crossmembers & Chassis Brackets | EN AW-6082 | T6 | Heavy-wall extrusion + CNC milling & drilling |
| Roof Racks, Cargo Rails & Interior Framing | EN AW-6063 / EN AW-6005A | T6 / T66 | E6 Anodized or UV-durable black RAL powder coating |
| Running Boards, Sill Plates & Exterior Trim | EN AW-6463 / EN AW-6063 | T5 / T6 | E2 Brushed or E3 Bright-Polished Anodizing |
FAQ
Which alloys do you recommend for load-bearing trailer and vehicle structures?
We recommend EN AW-6005A T6 for complex hollow structural sections and EN AW-6082 T6 for maximum tensile and yield strength.
Can you supply cut, drilled and CNC-milled automotive brackets?
Yes. We perform ±0.1 mm precision sawing, punching, CNC pocket milling and tapping in-house.
