    Ultra-Machinable Cast Aluminum Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. Ultra-Machinable Cast Aluminum Sheets.
    Machine reliably flat parts for CNC routing tables, assembly jigs, and precision tasks. These sheets are cast to consistent thicknesses and won’t distort as you machine them. Even at whirring speeds, they cut precisely with minimal tool wear.
    MIC6 Aluminum—Machines like butter, even better than cast 5083 aluminum. The best for large-scale jobs, MIC6 puts the least amount of strain on your tools. However, it's not as strong, corrosion resistant, or weldable.
    5083 Aluminum—Our most corrosion-resistant cast aluminum. It's also stronger and easier to weld than MIC6 aluminum. Cast 5083 is comparable to Alca 5 and ATP 6.

    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 Originally made for aircraft frames, it’s now turned into gears, machine keys, and other high-stress parts.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.
    Precision Ground on Top and Bottom—Consistently flat on the two largest sides. Also known as ground flat stock.
