Aluminium Round Bar 8mm
Description
The 8mm aluminium round bar is a solid cylindrical profile manufactured from EN AW-6063 aluminium alloy in T6 condition, delivering a strong combination of formability, durability, and corrosion resistance. Its intermediate diameter provides greater rigidity than smaller gauges while maintaining ease of machining and fabrication.
This size is ideal for producing mechanical pins, guide rods, fastening components, and structural connectors. It is commonly used in general engineering, workshop fabrication, and prototyping tasks requiring consistent dimensional accuracy and dependable surface quality.
Supplied in 6-metre standard lengths with a smooth mill finish, this bar can also be ordered with optional anodising or powder coating for enhanced surface protection or visual appeal. Custom lengths and cut-to-size services are available depending on project scope.
We serve industrial manufacturers, component fabricators, and engineering firms with reliable aluminium solutions designed for repeatable production and global distribution.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Delivery available worldwide via land, sea, or air freight.
