Aluminum

Multipurpose Aluminum

Striking a good balance of corrosion resistance and strength, these 6000-series aluminum alloys are also heat treatable, machinable, and weldable. They’re widely used for vehicle parts, door frames, and rail-framing systems.

Easy-to-Machine Cast Aluminum
for Tool and Jig Plates

Use for CNC routing tables, assembly jigs, vacuum chucks, and other applications where consistent flatness and tight tolerances are critical. Choose between MIC6 and a 5083 aluminum that's comparable to Alca 5 and ATP 5.

High-Strength Aluminum

With strength that’s comparable to carbon steel at a fraction of the weight, these aluminum alloys are widely used to make structures, shafts, and molds. High-strength aluminum includes 2000- and 7000-series alloys, QC-10, and Metapor.

Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum

1000-, 3000-, and 5000-series aluminum alloys stand up to salt water, chemicals, and weather better than other types of aluminum. They're also the easiest to form and weld, so they're often made into storage tanks, architectural trim, awnings, and fan blades.

Lightweight A356 Aluminum Foam

Air is injected into the casting of this A356 aluminum to reduce weight and create a crater-like appearance. This foam is often used for sound insulation and architectural facades.
