Aluminum round bar

Aluminum round bar

Aluminum and aluminum alloy extruded rods are solid circular-shaped rod materials formed in one step through the hot extrusion process. They are one of the most widely used and frequently utilized types of aluminum alloy basic profiles. Main classifications and typical grades: Extruded bars are classified according to their application and performance as follows. The selection mainly depends on the alloy grade and heat treatment state:

Classification

Typical alloy designation

Main features

Common application scenarios

Higher-strength structures are used

6061, 6063, 6082, etc.

The overall performance is excellent. The strength, corrosion resistance, machinability and weldability are well balanced. Heat treatment strengthening (in T6 state) is commonly used.

Automation equipment racks, robot components, automotive parts, mold frames, precision fixtures, etc.

Precision/thin-walled square tube

2024 (2A12), 7075 (7A04), etc.

The specific strength is extremely high (7075 is a common type of aluminum alloy with relatively high strength), but its corrosion resistance and weldability are poor.

Aerospace structural components, high-strength sports equipment (such as advanced bicycle frames), and equipment, etc.

Corrosion-resistant / Special-purpose

5052, 5083, etc.

Excellent corrosion resistance (particularly resistant to seawater), good weldability, and moderate strength.

Ship components, chemical equipment, vehicle skins, pressure vessels, etc.

High thermal and electrical conductivity for use

1060, 6063, etc.

High aluminum content, good electrical and thermal conductivity, and relatively low strength.

Radiators, conductive plates, heat exchanger components, etc.
