FAQ

Aluminum round bars are used in many different industries. Due to its versatile nature and various desirable qualities such as being corrosion resistant, highly machinable, and durable yet lightweight, aluminum round bars are prized. They are often used in the construction industry in the manufacturing of hand tools and in many machinery components for building trucking components. In addition, aluminum round bars are found very often in the sporting industries.useful in the aerospace industry.
When choosing the right aluminum round bar for any project, knowing where the bar comes from is a big consideration to keep in mind. You will want to order your aluminum round bars from a company who is highly knowledgeable about aluminum and who only purchases their raw materials from the highest quality suppliers.
When a band saw is used, aluminum round bars can have tolerances of as close as +.30/-.000. In the case of extrusion saws, aluminum round bars can have tolerances of as close as plus/minus .005. Keep in mind that the tolerances and precision will vary depending on the length of the cut. As far as the diameter tolerances, Hydro, Kaiser, & SCM are all guaranteeing their diameter tolerances much closer that typical AA standards. If someone is guaranteeing you AA standards, that is no longer good enough for most applications.

5000 series alloys like 5083 and 5052 are some of the most highly corrosion resistant of any aluminum alloy options, however not available as extruded. 5052 and 5083 are particularly resistant to corrosion by seawater. 6000 series alloys like 6061, 6063, 6082 & 6101 2017, and 7075 are all alloys that also have good corrosion resistance and are available as extruded bar. 2024 may have its corrosion resistance amplified through means of special finishing and anodizing techniques.
