Aluminum Round Bar
Aluminum Round Bar, also referred to as "rod," is a solid, extruded aluminum product designed for high precision and ease of fabrication. With excellent corrosion resistance and a lightweight profile, it is commonly used in structural reinforcements, DIY projects, and architectural frameworks where strength and machinability are important.
Aluminum Round Bars are available in 6061-T6511 and 6063-T5 alloys, offering a balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and workability. Frequently used in machining, fabrication, and load-bearing components, these bars provide excellent dimensional stability and surface finish for parts requiring precision and clean aesthetics.
