Aluminium is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and versatile metal widely used across industries for its excellent mechanical and physical properties. Aluminium rods, flats, and plates are essential forms of this metal, engineered for a variety of structural, manufacturing, and industrial applications.
Aluminium Rods
Aluminium rods are cylindrical bars available in various diameters and lengths. They are highly valued for their strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and excellent machinability, making them ideal for:
- Automotive components
- Aerospace structures
- Machinery and equipment
- Fasteners, shafts, and pins
Rods can be supplied in pure aluminium or alloyed forms, with tempering options like T6, T73, or T7651 for enhanced strength and performance.
Aluminium Flats
Aluminium flats are rectangular or square cross-section bars, typically used in applications requiring high strength and precision. They are popular for:
- Frames and support structures
- Industrial fabrication and construction
- Marine and offshore components
- Heavy-duty structural applications
Available in various thicknesses and widths, aluminium flats offer excellent formability, welding compatibility, and surface finish.
Aluminium Plates
Aluminium plates are flat, broad sheets supplied in thicker dimensions than flats, ideal for high-strength and load-bearing applications. Plates are widely used in:
- Aerospace and defense structural components
- Shipbuilding and marine applications
- Pressure vessels and tanks
- Heavy machinery and fabrication
Aluminium plates can be supplied in rolled or machined forms, with options for heat treatment to enhance strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance.
