Aluminum

Material

Aluminum is a lightweight, silver-toned metal. It's widely used in various commercial settings due to its malleability and resistance to corrosion. Its low weight makes it a top choice in aerospace and transportation. Additionally, its non-reactive nature makes it ideal for food processing and architectural applications.

Available Grades

Grade

Description

2024

Often chosen for its high strength, similar to 2011. Prioritized when a superior strength-to-weight balance is essential but comes with limited corrosion resistance.

3003, 3105

A champion among aluminum alloys, it boasts excellent resistance to corrosion paired with commendable malleability. A touch of manganese boosts its strength beyond the standard 1xxx series.

5005, 5052

Emerging as the topmost non-heat treatable grade, it provides a defense against marine conditions and saltwater. Notable for ease of workability.

6061, 6063

Amenable to heat treatment, this cluster provides a balanced medium strength combined with commendable corrosion resistance and workability. A good pick for structural applications.

Cast Aluminum

A special rendition of aluminum, crafted through casting processes like die, mold, or sand casting. Widely recognized in household items, machinery, and a diverse array of products, underscoring its adaptability.
