GNEE Aluminum supplied 807 pcs / 6,689.90 kg total of 6061-T6 aluminum equal leg angle to Chile, specified for construction, framing, railings, solar and transport structures. The order was delivered with EN 10204 3.1 MTC and full export documentation.
GNEE Aluminum has successfully completed another export order of 6061-T6 aluminum equal leg angle for an industrial buyer in Chile. The material was specified for construction, framing, railings, solar and transport structures, where long-term reliability, dimensional accuracy and certified quality were the customer's primary concerns. This shipment continues GNEE's track record of supplying aluminum equal leg angle to industrial buyers across South America, and shows the company's ability to meet order-specific dimensions, tempers and inspection requirements without compromising delivery time.
Chile is a significant South American market driven by mining, construction, aquaculture and infrastructure projects, where buyers expect certified material and export-ready documentation. Buyers in this market typically require compliance with ASTM B221 / EN 755 / EN 12020 specifications, full material traceability, tight dimensional accuracy, and third-party inspection documentation. For construction, framing, railings, solar and transport structures, local fabricators and end-users look for suppliers who can provide both standard stock sizes and engineered lengths, supported by mill test certificates accepted by international inspectors.
Customer Technical Requirements
During the technical evaluation, the Chile customer submitted detailed dimensions and requested inspection procedures aligned with ASTM B221 / EN 755 / EN 12020 to ensure service reliability. A specific requirement on this order was the edge condition: every line item required a fillet at the inner corner and rounded edges along both legs, so the finished angle would not cut handling gloves or snag cables and panels in service. GNEE's technical team confirmed alloy, temper and tolerances against the application conditions, and agreed on the inspection plan, surface condition and packing method before the order entered production. Any deviation from the agreed specification was resolved with the customer in advance.
For construction, framing, railings, solar and transport structures, the selected 6061-T6 aluminum equal leg angle delivers the properties the application demands. 6061 is a versatile structural alloy with good strength and weldability. In service, the material must keep its properties under the operating environment while holding dimensional stability during machining, welding or forming. GNEE's technical team reviewed the customer's drawing and operating conditions, then confirmed the alloy, temper and tolerance class before production, so the supplied lot matched the downstream process without rework.

Quality Control
Every aluminum equal leg angle in this order was produced and inspected under GNEE's standard quality system, from incoming ingot verification to final dimensional and visual checks. Mill test certificates to EN 10204 3.1 are provided with the shipment; 3.2 certificates and third-party inspection (such as SGS or BV) can be arranged on request. The inspection items below were applied to this lot and recorded in the corresponding mill test report.
Dimensional & twist check - Confirms cross-section, wall and twist are within drawing limits for assembly.
Tensile test (per MTC) - Confirms the extrusion meets the ordered temper strength.
Surface & anodizing inspection - For finished profiles, checks anodizing thickness and surface uniformity.
Straightness check - Ensures the profile stays straight for framing and glazing.
Edge & corner radius verification - Confirms the inner-corner fillet and the rounded edges on both legs match the customer's drawing; the agreed radius value is recorded per lot.
Export Packaging
For the delivery to Chile, the aluminum equal leg angle was packed with seaworthy export materials - protected with interleaving paper / PVC and bound on strong wooden or steel pallets, with end caps and moisture-proof wrapping as required. Each bundle was labelled with heat number, dimensions and net / gross weight. Packing lists, commercial invoice, bill of lading and the EN 10204 3.1 MTC were prepared for smooth customs clearance, and packing photos can be shared before container loading.
