Aluminium Bars – Cut to Size for Industrial Projects

Looking for premium-quality aluminium bars for your industrial needs? At Alterna Metals, we provide an extensive range of aluminium profiles, including aluminium flat bar, round aluminium bar, square aluminium bar, and custom options. This guide will explain everything about aluminium bars—sizes, grades, benefits, and how to order them for your projects with global delivery and quote-based pricing.

What are Aluminium Bars and Why Are They Essential?

Aluminium bars are solid pieces of aluminium available in various shapes such as flat, round, and square. They are widely used in construction and engineering due to their excellent corrosion resistance, lightweight properties, and high strength. These bars are commonly used for frameworks, structural support, machine components, and architectural designs.

A flat piece of aluminium such as an aluminium flat bar provides stability and versatility, making it an ideal choice for many applications. Whether you need a 10mm, 25mm, or even 100mm aluminium bar, you can order it cut to size for the size you require.

What Are Flat Bars and Where Are They Used?

Aluminium flat bars are used across multiple industries and projects, including:

• Construction and engineering (brackets, supports, safety rails)

• Manufacturing (machine frames, conveyor systems)

• Architectural applications (decorative trims, panels)

Their high corrosion resistance and thermal and electrical conductivity make them suitable for outdoor use, harsh environments, and industrial setups. Due to their durability, these bars maintain their integrity over time, even under challenging conditions.

What Sizes Are Available? (10mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm)

At Alterna Metals, we offer a wide range of aluminium flat bars and round bars in standard and custom sizes. Common sizes include:

Why is Aluminium Ideal for Industrial Applications?

Aluminium is known for its resistance to corrosion, which comes from its natural oxide layer. Unlike steel, it does not require additional treatments to remain rust-free. This makes aluminium bars an ideal choice for many applications, especially in outdoor use and environments exposed to moisture or chemicals.

Combined with thermal and electrical conductivity, aluminium bars offer performance benefits in construction and engineering, as well as electrical and mechanical industries.

What Grades Are Available?

Grade 6082T6

6082T6 is one of the most popular choices for aluminium flat bars used in construction and engineering projects. It is a medium-strength alloy with excellent mechanical properties, making it suitable for structural applications. Key features include:

• Excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for outdoor and marine environments

• High tensile strength, ensuring durability under heavy loads

• Good machinability, allowing for complex shapes and custom designs

This grade is commonly used in frameworks, bridges, transportation, and heavy-duty structural components. If your project requires anodising, we are pleased to offer anodising services for bulk orders.

Grade 6063-T5

Many of our bars are extruded from 6063-T5 aluminium alloy, a grade known for its superior surface finish and excellent corrosion resistance. This makes it highly suitable for architectural applications, furniture, and projects where aesthetics matter. Key advantages:

• Smooth finish, perfect for decorative and visible components

• Excellent corrosion resistance, thanks to its natural oxide layer

• Lightweight and versatile, making it an ideal choice for many applications

6063-T5 is often selected for indoor and outdoor architectural designs, trim work, and light-duty structural projects.

Aluminium Round Bars and Aluminium Strip Options

In addition to flat aluminium bars, we also supply round aluminium bars, aluminium rods, and aluminium strip profiles. These products are often used in:

• Machining components

• Architectural detailing

• Electrical frameworks

A range of aluminium round bars is available for projects requiring rotational strength or precision machining.

Cut to Size and Custom Cutting Services

With our free cutting service, we make it easy to order aluminium bars cut to size. Simply tell us the required size, and we will leave the rest to us.

We also offer custom cutting options for complex requirements and large-scale industrial projects. Use our freecutting tools to get the perfect fit and minimize material waste.

Anodising Services for Added Protection

While bars are not anodised as standard, we offer anodising services for bulk buys to enhance corrosion resistanceand surface finish. This makes the material even more suitable for outdoor use and architectural applications.

Whether you need anodised as standard or offer anodising services for bulk, we can accommodate your specifications.
