Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Sheets and Bars
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.
Extruded sheets and bars are formed by a die for close-tolerance widths, then cut to the lengths listed.
Aluminum that meets ASTM B209 or ASTM B221 complies with standards for materials.
Aluminum that meets an SAE AMS standard conforms to the material and process needs of the aerospace industry.

High-Strength 2024 Aluminum Sheets and Bars
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.
Cold-drawn bars are formed by a die for close-tolerance widths, then cut to the lengths listed.

Fatigue-Resistant 7050 Aluminum
- Yield Strength: 68,000 psi
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper: T7451
- Fabrication: Cold Rolled
- Specifications Met: ASTM B594, SAE AMS4050
Substitute 7050 aluminum for 7075 in structural applications when high stress-corrosion resistance is required. It is the same material that's used for bulkheads and fuselage frames. These sheets are ultrasonically inspected (USI) for defects below the surface as per ASTM B594.
