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 bonds to the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

One side of these sheets and bars is polished to either a brushed finish or a mirror-like finish.

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

3000 series aluminum stands up to outdoor use, as well as exposure to chemicals. It offers a good combination of strength, formability, and weldability. It's often used for storage tanks, heat exchangers, garage doors, and general sheet metal work.

Includes one 1-1/2"×3"×0.032" thick piece of each texture: weave, diamond, and tread.

The honeycomb design provides a higher strength-to-weight ratio than solid sheets.

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.

Made of 1000 series aluminum which is 99% pure, this aluminum offers superior formability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity. It's frequently fabricated into raceways, decorative trim, and other parts where strength and hardness are not required.

Use this foil as a blanket to disperse heat evenly in high-vacuum systems, as well as in clean rooms and other controlled environments where dust and oil could jeopardize a system.

5086 aluminum is used on ships, oil rigs, tanks, and pressure vessels because of its excellent saltwater resistance and formability.

Also known as armor plate, these 5083 aluminum sheets are hardened to an H131 temper for increased strength and impact resistance over standard 5083 sheets.

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.

Also known as flat stock, these sheets and bars are precision ground on the top and bottom.

Choose between sheets and bars that are precision ground on all six sides or just on the top and bottom.

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.

MIC6 is cast from a high-strength 7000-series aluminum, then stress relieved to maintain dimensional stability during high-speed machining.

These sheets have good corrosion resistance, weldability, and formability. Aluminum is lightweight.

Use these components to design your own frame to support ceiling tiles.
