looking for ballpark values for aluminium cost (school project)
 

Hello, I'm looking for some general prices for some aluminium box beam. I'm
looking for a square beam with 2 cm walls outer dimensions being 15cm again
square. I would need 2-12m long segments. This all made out of 2014-26
alloy. Thanks for any ideas on the cost of this or if anyone had an idea of
where to go to get price quotes for this kind of application.

Lately I've paid about $2/lb for structural shapes in small quantities.

Conversion to your metric geometry and density left as an exercise for you.

Do a google search for metal suppliers. I would think you could get a
good deal being for educational use.
