The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. It is strong and corrosion resistant, plus it's easy to machine and weld.
The thickness is oversized to allow for finishing to exact requirements.
These sheets and bars are precision ground either on all six sides or just on the top and bottom.
An anodized coating bonds to the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance.
One side of these sheets and bars is polished to either a brushed finish or a mirror-like finish.
More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.
6101 aluminum is chiefly used as a lightweight and economical alternative to copper in electrical applications, such as bus bars in switchboards and battery banks.
3000 series aluminum stands up to outdoor use, as well as exposure to chemicals. It offers a good combination of strength, formability, and weldability. It's often used for storage tanks, heat exchangers, garage doors, and general sheet metal work.
The honeycomb design provides a higher strength-to-weight ratio than solid sheets.
A honeycomb core is bonded between two aluminum sheets for rigidity.
Known for being one of the easiest types of aluminum to weld, 5052 is also recognized for its ability to resist salt water. It's widely used for the bodies of boats, buses, trucks, and trailers, as well as for chemical drums.
5086 aluminum is used on ships, oil rigs, tanks, and pressure vessels because of its excellent saltwater resistance and formability.
Highly corrosion resistant, 5083 is largely used around salt water for building ships and oil rigs. It maintains its strength in extreme cold, so it's also used to make cryogenic pressure vessels and tanks.
These sheets are tempered to a 1/2-hard or full-hard state to make them over twice as strong as standard 1100 aluminum.
Stronger than other marine-grade aluminum, 5456 is often used for pressure vessels and storage tanks in saltwater environments.
Originally developed for aircraft frames, uses for 7075 aluminum now include keys, gears, and other high-stress parts. It is often used as a replacement for 2024 aluminum because it’s stronger and provides similar performance in all other aspects.
Choose between sheets and bars that are precision ground on all six sides or just on the top and bottom.
While 2024 aluminum was initially designed for structural components in aircraft, it's now widely used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is needed, such as for gears, shafts, and fasteners. It offers similar performance to 7075 aluminum, but it’s not as strong.
Also known as flat stock, these sheets and bars are precision ground on the top and bottom.
2011 has the best machinability of all the aluminum alloys. It is the most selected aluminum for screws, tube fittings, hose parts, and other items that require extensive machining.
MIC6 is cast from a high-strength 7000-series aluminum, then stress relieved to maintain dimensional stability during high-speed machining.
Made of 5083 aluminum, these cast tool and jig plates are more corrosion resistant and respond better to anodizing than MIC6. This material is comparable to Alca 5 and ATP 5.
