    Anodized Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. Anodized Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Bars.
    All the benefits of 6061 aluminum, plus extra wear and corrosion resistance. Bonded with a thick coating (anodizing), these bars resist scratches and won’t degrade as quickly as uncoated bars.
    6061 is the most widely used aluminum, made into everything from pipe fittings to containers to airplane parts. It balances strength and corrosion resistance, not to mention it’s easy to machine and weld.
    Hard Anodize—Our most durable anodized coating, with a surface so hard it rivals case-hardened steel. However, it makes this aluminum more difficult to machine than uncoated aluminum.

    Ultra-Weldable Marine-Grade 5052 Aluminum Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. Ultra-Weldable Marine-Grade 5052 Aluminum Bars.
    The easiest marine-grade aluminum alloy to weld, 5052 is made into everything from boat hulls to aircraft fuel lines. You don’t need to preheat the metal or perform a test weld to create joints. Even when submerged for long periods of time, it won’t weaken in salt water. It even stays strong at cryogenic temperatures, so it’s commonly made into piping for liquid nitrogen.

    High-Strength Marine-Grade 5456 Aluminum Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. High-Strength Marine-Grade 5456 Aluminum Sheets.
    Developed with the U.S. Navy, 5456 is the strongest marine-grade aluminum we offer. Choose it when you need to balance saltwater resistance, weight, and strength, such as for pressure vessels and storage tanks. It even stays strong at cryogenic temperatures, so it’s commonly made into support structures for liquefied natural gas tanks.

    High-Strength 2024 Aluminum Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. High-Strength 2024 Aluminum Bars.
    Balance high strength and workability. Initially designed for aircraft frames, 2024 aluminum is turned into parts that need to be especially strong, such as couplings for servomotor shafts. It’s one of the most widely used high-strength alloys, made into fasteners, gears, and everything in between. It’s also easier to form and weld than 7075 aluminum, among the strongest aluminum alloys out there.
    Cold Drawn—Formed by a die for close-tolerance widths, then cut to the lengths listed.

    Tight-Tolerance Extra-High-Strength 7075 Aluminum Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. Tight-Tolerance Extra-High-Strength 7075 Aluminum Sheets.
    When precision and yield strength are nonnegotiable, choose these 7075 aluminum sheets. They’re ground to paper-thin tolerances for parts that require pinpoint precision.
    7075 is one the strongest aluminum alloys, boasting a yield strength that rivals carbon steel rebar. Originally made for aircraft frames, it’s now turned into gears, machine keys, and other high-stress parts. It’s a good substitute for 2024 aluminum when forming and welding aren’t top concerns.
    Precision Ground on All Sides—Ready to use in your CNC machine, this aluminum is consistently flat, square, and parallel on all six sides. Also known as blanks.

    Marine-Grade 5083 Aluminum Sheets

    A balanced choice when you need marine-grade aluminum. You’ll often see 5083 on ships and oil rigs because it doesn’t weaken when submerged in salt water. It even stays strong at cryogenic temperatures, so it’s commonly made into lining for liquefied natural gas tanks and pipes.
