Aluminum Bars & Rods
Round, flat, square and hex bar in free-machining, structural and high-strength alloys — extruded or drawn, sawn to exact lengths, and delivered with the certificates your quality system expects.
Overview
Bar stock chosen by people who machine it
Bar is bought by the meter but paid for in spindle hours. A free-machining alloy in the wrong application seizes taps; an over-specified aerospace grade doubles material cost on a part that never sees load. Choosing well is worth real money — and it's a conversation we have with customers every week.
The program covers the full decision space: 2011 for high-volume turned parts, 6061/6082 as the structural all-rounders, 2024 and 7075 where strength is the whole point, and 5083 where welding and seawater are involved. Drawn bar is available where tighter diameter tolerance matters.
- Rounds Ø 8 – 300 mm, flats, squares and hex (AF 10 – 75 mm)
- Extruded (EN 755-2) or drawn (EN 754-2) for tighter tolerances
- Sawn to length with ±0.5 mm repeatability for automatic lathes
- Free-machining 2011 for chips that break, not strings that wrap
