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.

These sheets and bars are precision ground either on all six sides or just on the top and bottom.

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.

A honeycomb core is bonded between two aluminum sheets for rigidity.

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 sheets and bars are tempered to a 1/2-hard or full-hard state to make them over twice as strong as standard 1100 aluminum.

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.

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

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.

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.

These sheets are clad in 1230 aluminum for an added layer of corrosion resistance.

Designed for use as a production injection mold and blow mold, tk Ultra 7 is extremely strong with a hard surface and excellent thermal conductivity.
