Aluminum Bar

We stock aluminum in a variety of shapes including flat, hex, round bar and square bar. The most popular aluminum grades of bars are 2011, 2024, 6061 and 7075.  Aluminum bars can be used in various applications due to their unbeatable strength to weight ratio compared to other metals. 

2011 Cold Finished Bar: often used for screw machine parts because of its free machining elements.

2024 Cold Finished Bar: the most widely used aerospace alloy. With the combination of high yield strength and good fatigue resistance. Also has good machinability and grain structure. Great for precision fittings and parts.

6061 Extruded Aluminum Bar: ideal for applications involving welding or brazing because if its high corrosion resistance in all temperatures, as well as its excellent corrosion resistance from its high chromium content.

6063 Extruded Aluminum Bar: has overall good mechanical properties. It is often used for relatively intricate work. It has a good surface finished and it can be anodized.

6061 Cold Finished Bar: available in flat, hex, round, and square shapes, this material is one of the most popular aluminum grades available. It offers high corrosion resistance and excellent performance, even in high heat.

7075 Cold Finished Bar: the highest strength aluminum bar that Alro stocks. 7075 grade can be used in air-frame structures and aircraft parts.

Uses for Aluminum Bar Shapes

Aluminum is non-toxic and can be used in food preparation equipment. Aluminum's reflective nature is suitable for light fixtures, is non-combustible and so does not burn. Some end uses include transportation, food packaging, furniture, electrical applications, building, construction, machinery and equipment.

Aluminum bar can be used for a variety of applications, including: Medical assembly, Aircraft construction, Structural components, Commercial transportation, Electrical Components.
