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 matte plating on these rods, sometimes called industrial chrome and hard chrome, creates a slippery surface that minimizes galling and prevents parts from seizing.

Choose between rods that are polished to a brushed finish or a mirror-like finish.

Polished on the outside to a #8 reflective, mirror-like finish, these tubes have no visible grain lines.

More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.

The outside of these tubes is anodized to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

Frequently used to make valve bodies, pistons, and hydraulic parts, 6020 aluminum is easier to machine and more corrosion resistant than 6061, but it is not as weldable.

Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance.

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.

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.

These shafts include a support rail for a stable setup that eliminates bending and prevents linear bearings from rotating.

Create lightweight adjustable structures. With telescoping aluminum rails, this framing is often used to make folding stands, extension poles, and sign frames.

Stronger than plastic and aluminum, this is the lightest weight framing we offer. It has good resistance to chemicals and salt water.
