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.

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.

An anodized coating forms a bond to the inside, outside, and ends of these tubes to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

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

Sized to fit into the next larger size, use these tubes to create telescoping railings and frames.

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

As the strongest multipurpose aluminum we offer, 6013 aluminum has the same good corrosion resistance, weldability, and machinability as 6061 with increased strength. 6013 is often fabricated into high-stress machine parts.

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.

These rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they’re ready for turning in a lathe.

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.

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.

These tubes are sized so that each tube fits into the next larger size.

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

Make workstations, conveyors, and shelving for heavy loads. These clamp-on framing rails and fittings are the thickest and sturdiest in our offering.

Half the weight of steel, this aluminum framing resists corrosion in wet environments.
