    High-Strength 2024 Aluminum Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. High-Strength 2024 Aluminum Sheets.
    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 Rolled—Cut from large pieces, this aluminum may not have parallel edges. For precise alignment, you'll need to trim or machine it to size.

    Ultra-Weldable Marine-Grade 5052 Aluminum Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. Ultra-Weldable Marine-Grade 5052 Aluminum Sheets.
    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.

    Polished Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Sheets

    Make parts that are easy to keep clean. With a smoother surface than unpolished 6061 aluminum, these sheets are less likely to trap dirt, grease, and grime. A peel-off film shields the surface until you’re ready to work.
    The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is made into everything from pipe fittings to containers to airplane parts. It balances strength and corrosion resistance, plus it’s easy to machine and weld.
    Brushed—With a #4 satin finish, this aluminum has grain lines that run one way to mask fingerprints and minor scratches. These lines also reduce glare.
    Mirror Like—For the easiest clean, this aluminum has a #8 reflective finish, so it’s free of any grain lines or grooves that could collect dirt. You can quickly detect defects on the mirror-like surface. However, it scratches more easily than brushed aluminum.

    Clad High-Strength 2024 Aluminum Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. Clad High-Strength 2024 Aluminum Sheets.
    Combine the strength of 2024 aluminum with the corrosion resistance of nearly pure aluminum. Clad with 1230 aluminum, these sheets stay strong in wet and corrosive environments where unclad sheets would degrade.
    2024 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.

    Extra-High-Strength 7075 Aluminum Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. Extra-High-Strength 7075 Aluminum Sheets.
    Among the strongest aluminum alloys, 7075 boasts 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.
    Cast—Cut from large pieces, this aluminum may not have parallel edges. For precise alignment, you'll need to trim or machine it to size.

    Highly Conductive 1100 Aluminum Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. Highly Conductive 1100 Aluminum Sheets.
    At 99% pure, 1100 is among the most conductive, corrosion-resistant, and formable aluminum alloys. Since it’s so soft, it’s often shaped into terminal blocks, raceways, and other parts that don’t need to be hard or strong. For high-stress electrical parts such as bus bars, look to 6101 aluminum instead.
