Product details
Aluminum alloys are a popular choice for bars due to their versatility and combination of desirable properties. These include: Lightweight: Aluminum is one of the lightest metals, making it ideal for applications where weight is a major consideration, such as in aerospace and transportation. Strong: While not as strong as steel, certain aluminum alloys can offer good strength-to-weight ratios. Durable: Aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion. Some alloys are further enhanced with magnesium and silicon to improve their corrosion resistance. Machinable: Aluminum is relatively easy to machine, allowing for complex shapes to be formed. Conductive: Aluminum is a good conductor of electricity and heat, making it suitable for electrical applications and heat sinks. Aluminum bars come in various shapes, including: Round bars Square bars Rectangular bars 6061 | 6082 | 5052 | 5083 | 7075 | 2014 HE20 | HE30| HE9| HE15
