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.

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.

When appearances matter, choose 5005 aluminum. Initially used as lightweight siding for mobile homes, it's tinted so you can match the look of your application. Our 5005 is bonded with a thick coating (anodizing) that boosts corrosion resistance and shields against scratches.
