As the extruder, we can work with many other alloys as your projects require. Just let us know what you need.
- Yield strength (0.2% proof test) - Mpa = 200 Ksi = 29
- Tensile strength - Mpa = 230 Ksi = 33
- Elongation A5 minimum 10%
- Elongation A10 minimum 8%
- Elasticity E approximately 10x10^6 psi or 10,000,000 psi (or lbs/sq. in)
- Hardness - Webster Model "B" 11-12
- Flatness - .004" per inch of width
- Straightness - .0125" per foot of length, not to exceed .120 over 20 feet of length
- Twist - Twist per foot of length does not exceed .25 degrees and total twist over 20 feet of length does not exceed 1.5 degrees
Spring-lock feature
All TSLOTS structural extrusions have a 2-degree taper that spring-locks fasteners as they’re tightened. This ensures that fasteners won’t loosen — even under heavy vibration.
Fastener torque specifications
This table shows the amount of torque needed in foot-pounds to activate the 2-degree drop-lock feature of the extrusion. The nut and bolt combination is pre-loaded when tightened to the minimum torque rating. The pre-loaded state makes a vibration-proof connection.
