Aluminium Rectangular Hollow Section

Aluminium Rectangular Hollow Section

Aluminium Rectangular Hollow Section

(OP)
I have been searching for a supplier of Aluminium Rectangular Hollow Section of size 40 x 25 x 2 mm with external corner radii of 2 or 3 mm.  This external radius is important as a cosmetic/aesthetic feature in a design of a trolley.  Sharper corners will not do.  Most British suppliers only provide imperial sizes, but we want metric.  Does anybody know where to find this size?

Thanks, Janek

RE: Aluminium Rectangular Hollow Section

This appears to be a size that could be easily extruded.  Have you tried large producers like Alcoa, Hydro, Kaiser, etc.?

RE: Aluminium Rectangular Hollow Section

If this particular size of not available you can get an extrusion die made. Depends on your budget and quantities.
