Aluminum Rectangular & Round Bar Stock
Aluminum is corrosion resistant and light weight.
It has a lower structural stiffness than steel (about 1/3), which must be compensated for by thicker gauge.
Finish:
Powdercoat, No Finish or Grained Finish
Fasteners:
Typically, stainless steel fasteners are used with aluminum. However, in some cases, zinc-plated fasteners are used, depending on the application.
Stocked Aluminum alloy (Bar Stock) - for CNC Milling
We offer 5-axis and 3-axis vertical milling of bar stock in aluminum, as well as CNC turning of aluminum round bar stock.
Work holding is typically with the use of precision machine vices, chucks and clamps. With this service we can produce a wide variety of machined parts and enclosures.
