Precision-Cast Aluminum (Mic 6 Alloy)
Offers outstanding machinability and stability. Stress-relieved.

Mold-Quality Aluminum (QC-7 Alloy)
Outstanding thermal conductivity along with high strength and surface hardness makes this heat-treatable alloy perfect for use in production injection molds and blow molds.

Easy-to Form Electrical Grade Aluminum (Alloy 1100)
Commercially pure, 99 percent aluminum alloy. One of the best aluminum conductors of heat and electricity. Ideal for chemical equipment, heat exchanger fins, and sheet metal work.

Easy-to-Machine Metric Aluminum (Alloy 2007)
Excellent machinability. Ideal choice for components that require extensive machining, including tube fittings, hose parts, and screw machine parts.

Easy-to-Machine Aluminum (Alloy 2011)
Best machinability of all aluminum alloys. Most widely selected for screw machine parts, tube fittings, hose parts, and components that require extensive machining.

Weldable Easy-to-Machine Aluminum (Alloy 2017)
Machinability approaching that of Alloy 2011, along with weldability. Like all 2000 alloys, addition of copper reduces corrosion resistance.

Extra-Strength Aircraft-Grade Aluminum (Alloy 2024)
Superior strength and good machinability. Most widely used aircraft alloy. Addition of copper improves strength but decreases corrosion resistance.

General Purpose Aluminum (Alloy 3003)
Higher strength than Alloy 1100 due to addition of manganese. Use in chemical and food processing equipment, tanks, heat exchangers, and sheet metal work.

Abrasion-Resistant Aluminum (Alloy 4032)
High silicon content provides superior wear resistance. Ideal for automotive, aerospace, electronic, appliance, and hydraulic fluid applications.

General Purpose Aluminum (Alloy 5005) with Colored Finishes
Addition of magnesium increases strength over that of Alloy 3003.

Corrosion-Resistant Marine-Grade Aluminum (Alloy 5052)
Especially resistant to marine environments. High magnesium content offers highest strength of all non-heat-treatable alloys.

Machinable Marine-Grade Aluminum (Alloy 5086)
Excellent corrosion resistance in marine environments. Good forming properties and weldability. Stronger than Alloy 5052. Material is not heat treatable.

Extra-Strength Extra-Hard Aluminum (Alloy 6013)
Heat-treatable alloy. Corrosion resistance, weldability, and thermal conductivity of Alloy 6061 with improved strength, hardness, and machinability.

Corrosion-Resistant Easy-to-Machine Aluminum (Alloy 6020)
Exceptionally machinable, heat-treatable alloy is free cutting, offering excellent surface finish.

Multipurpose Metric Aluminum (Alloy 6060)
European equivalent to Alloy 6061. Offers excellent combination of properties from good machinability to strength and corrosion resistance.

Multipurpose Aluminum (Alloy 6061)
Most widely used aluminum alloy due to combination of strength, good corrosion resistance, and machinability.

Ultra Corrosion-Resistant Architectural Aluminum (Alloy 6063)
Superb corrosion resistance. Perfect for outdoor applications.

Ultra-Hard Ultra-Strength Aluminum (Alloy 7068)
Extremely high strength, due in part to high zinc content. Heat-treatable. Significantly stronger and harder than Alloy 7075.

Corrosion-Resistant Aircraft-Grade Aluminum (Alloy 7075)
Exceptionally strong and still lightweight. One of the hardest, strongest aluminum alloys. Perfect for high-stress parts. Microporous Aluminum
Can be used to filter air, gases, and low viscosity liquids. Made from pure aluminum powder and epoxy resin. Can be used to create blemish-free molds for vacuum forming and thermoforming.
