6063-T5 Aluminum U Channel Profile Automotive Trunk Aluminum Extrusion — versatile structural aluminum profiles for construction, automation, solar and cabinet projects. Custom sizes and surface finishes are available to meet your project requirements.
Product Description
Our aluminum C channel and U channel profiles are custom extruded from high-quality 6063 or 6061 aluminum alloy. Featuring lightweight construction, high rigidity, corrosion resistance and easy fabrication, these aluminium channel extrusions are among the most versatile structural profiles for industrial and architectural applications.
Aluminum U channel comes with a U-shaped cross-section, ideal for panel edging, glass retaining, LED light housing, sheet metal wrapping and enclosure borders. Aluminum C channel (C extrusion) has an open C-shape design, perfect for building frames, sliding guide grooves, equipment supports, solar mounting rails and safety fence assembly.
We provide a full range of surface treatments including natural anodizing, clear anodizing, black anodizing and powder coating. Profiles can be cut to your required length, with additional CNC machining services such as drilling, tapping and milling available on request.

Factory Equipment
Extrusion
Equipped with 44 aluminum extrusion lines, MetalPlus is capable of producing various standards of commercial aluminum profiles and industrial aluminum profiles with a maximum outer diameter of 350mm.
MetalPlus has 44 aluminum profile extrusion lines equipped with PLC control systems and precise molds. The largest extruder in the MetalPlus factory is a 6800-ton unit, used for the production of industrial profiles in various shapes with a maximum diameter of 600mm. This allows us to satisfy the different requirements of our various customers. Some of the aluminum products produced by MetalPlus include radiators, industrial fan blades, motor enclosures, solar cell frames, doors and windows.
MetalPlus can produce custom molds according to customer requirements. We have the abilities and experience to produce aluminum profiles with complex structures. We have our own R&D team, so we can provide reasonable suggestions for our customers in order to create superior products at affordable prices.
Anodizing
Anodizing is a process in which a layer of aluminum oxide is formed on the surface of aluminum alloy products when they are placed in an electrolyte solution and an electrical current is applied. Oxidized aluminum profiles feature improved corrosion resistance so that the surface can withstand various weather conditions. Meanwhile, the aluminum oxide also increases the product's hardness and wear resistance. MetalPlus has 6 anodizing production lines. The profiles processed in our anodizing lines feature uniform oxidation film thickness and color, giving them a beautiful appearance. The oxidized profiles come in various color options including silver, black, gold, champagne and imitation steel. Other colors can be customized upon request.
The anodized products are all inspected by highly trained professional inspectors. Defective products which cannot be re-processed are directly scrapped. Products with uneven color are de-coated and re-anodized until they meet the requirements. This ensures there is no color difference among each batch of products.
Painting
Our factory is equipped with 4 powder spraying lines, all using high-quality spray nozzles from Gema Switzerland. MetalPlus only uses safe and environmentally friendly paint with strong adhesive force and durable color retention.
CNC Machining
MetalPlus is equipped with highly advanced machining equipment sets. All fine machining processes are accomplished by technicians with rich industry experience. Strict industrial standards are adopted during production to ensure fine machining precision and product quality.
- MetalPlus has 12 PRATIC machining centers which can be used for milling, drilling or tapping of profiles from different angles. They are especially suitable for the production of long profiles up to 6 meters and can realize machining of complex profiles with the simplest methods.
- MetalPlus has fully automatic cutting machines from Wegoma which accomplish precise cutting with automatic and continuous material feeding, featuring low labor cost and high production efficiency. Therefore, the cutting price of MetalPlus is significantly lower than that of other enterprises in the industry.
- We have 30 punching machines with punching pressure ranging from 50 to 100 tons, suitable for punching relatively thick profiles over 5mm. There are also 10 stretch bending/bending machines which can bend profiles to arcs or different angles with highly precise machining angles. The factory is also equipped with 10 milling machines, realizing machining of different planes, bevels or grooves to satisfy different machining requirements of our customers.
Packing and Shipping
Finished products are packaged manually and ready for delivery. MetalPlus adopts strict warehouse management procedures; the finished product warehouse is divided into sections to store specific products, all in-and-out transactions are recorded, and each product is examined before delivery.
