Aluminum Round Bar

Aluminum round bars are versatile products widely used across industries due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and machinability. These bars come in various grades, tempers, and diameters, tailored to specific applications.

We stock aluminum bars in grades 1100 | 2011 | 2024 | 6060 | 6061 | 6063 | 6262 and 7075. Order standard sizes or customize the length as needed.

Aluminum Round Bar Features and Properties

• Lightweight: Aluminum’s low density makes it a preferred choice for weight-sensitive applications such as aerospace and automotive industries.
• Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum round bars offer natural oxidation and corrosion resistance, particularly in marine or humid environments. Certain alloys, such as 5052 and 5083, provide enhanced resistance in harsh conditions.
• High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Alloys like 7075 and 7050 exhibit excellent strength without adding excessive weight, making them ideal for structural applications.
• Machinability: Aluminum round bars, especially grades like 6061 and 2011, are easy to machine into complex, high-precision shapes.
• Thermal and Electrical Conductivity: Aluminum alloys are excellent conductors of heat and electricity, beneficial for electrical and thermal management applications.
• Recyclability: Aluminum is 100% recyclable without losing its performance, supporting sustainable manufacturing practices.
• Customizable Properties: Tempers such as T6, T651, O, and T3 modify mechanical properties like hardness, ductility, and machinability.

Common Aluminum Round Bar Grades and Applications

Processing and Surface Treatment

• Extrusion: Aluminum round bars are commonly extruded for consistent shape and diameter.
• Heat Treatment: Tempers such as T6 (solution heat-treated and artificially aged) enhance strength.
• Surface Treatment: Options include anodizing, powder coating, or polishing for aesthetics and protection.

Advantages of Aluminum Round Bars

• Customizability: Easily produced in various sizes and lengths to meet specific needs.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Lightweight yet strong, reducing costs for weight-sensitive projects.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of industries, from aerospace to construction.

Aluminum round bars are indispensable materials across industries due to their strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. Selecting the right alloy and temper ensures optimal performance for specific applications.
