Aluminium Alloy Rods

Aluminium Alloy Rods: Technical Details and Applications

Our aluminium alloy rods are available in various grades, including 6061, 7075, 5083, and 5052, each designed for specific industrial uses. For example, 6061 aluminium rods are popular for general engineering purposes due to their excellent strength and weldability, while 7075 aluminium rods are preferred for aerospace applications because of their high tensile strength and resistance to stress corrosion. 5083 aluminium rods offer excellent performance in marine environments due to their high corrosion resistance. Although higher-grade aluminium alloys, like 7075, tend to be more expensive, their superior mechanical properties make them a worthwhile investment in demanding applications.
