Nowadays, aluminium alloy products are arguably one of the most used metal products. Aluminium is widely used in various fields thanks to its excellent strength and ductility. It is no exaggeration to say that aluminium alloy products are everywhere in our lives. The product we are going to introduce today is the aluminium alloy truss, which is a basic equipment widely used in large occasions. However, many people do not know what aluminium trusses are. This article will combine the basic knowledge of aluminium trusses and give you a brief introduction.

What is aluminium truss?
Aluminium truss is a type of truss, generally made of 6061-T6 aluminium, which is cut, machined, welded, polished and painted to create a wide range of load-bearing equipment for performances, exhibitions and events.
A complete aluminium truss system consists of various lengths and sizes of aluminium alloy base, counter head, inclined support and square sleeve. The first step in the construction of an aluminium truss is to build the base, which is mainly used for ground stabilisation.
The advantages of aluminium truss
·High strength
Aluminium alloys are low in density but relatively high in strength, approaching or exceeding high quality steel, with good plasticity. As a result, our aluminium trusses have a high strength and are lighter, at half the weight of iron.

·Durable
Our aluminium trusses have a long service life because aluminium alloys are electrically conductive and corrosion resistant and can be used outdoors. For aluminium alloy products, the surface of the aluminium naturally produces a dense film of aluminium trioxide, a colourless film that prevents further oxidation.
·High load-bearing capacity
The high load capacity is also the most important feature of aluminium trusss. According to statistics, aluminium trusss can generally carry an average load of 600kg or more.
These are the main advantages of aluminium trusses. It is worth noting that aluminium has a high recycling rate of over 98%, which means that aluminium trusss can be used and processed again and again, which is better than any other metal.
How to maintain a aluminium truss?
Although aluminium truss is a very corrosion resistant product, in order to avoid rusting, aluminium truss should not be exposed to acidic or alkaline substances before use.
If the aluminium truss has reached a certain time, we can maintain the surface by spraying it with anti-rust paint or waxing it. If there are stains or dirty areas, we need to use a soft cloth to wipe and rub the dirty areas gently. These are the main ways to maintain the aluminium truss, and only by checking it regularly can we guarantee its service life.
