Aluminum Flat
Bar is produced in several alloys, most generally 6061 is used for
structural and engineering applications or when
welding is required, forming, bending or corrosion resistance is a concern. 2024 and 7075 are
alloys for high strength applications when no welding or very limited
forming or bending is required. 6063 is the lowest
strength of these alloys, but tends to anodize the best and also has the
best finishing qualities.
