    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.

    Highly Formable 3003 Aluminum Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. Highly Formable 3003 Aluminum Sheets.
    Bend, press, and draw 3003 aluminum into various shapes. It's easy to form and resists mild chemicals, so it's often turned into bottle caps, foil trays, and other food service products.

    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.

    Make saltwater- and chemical-resistant parts that are easy to keep clean. With a smoother surface than unpolished 5052 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 easiest marine-grade aluminum 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.
    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.
