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.

One side of these sheets is painted in your choice of gloss color, while the other side is painted gloss white.

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

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.

Stronger than other marine-grade aluminum, 5456 is often used for pressure vessels and storage tanks in saltwater environments.

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.

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.

Create molds for vacuum-forming and thermoforming applications. Metapor aluminum is porous to let air and moisture escape, which prevents bubbles and blemishes.

Made of 5083 aluminum, these cast tool and jig plates are more corrosion resistant and respond better to anodizing than MIC6. This material is comparable to Alca 5 and ATP 5.
