Choosing the Right Aluminium Bar For Your Needs

When it comes to reliable, versatile and high-performance materials, aluminium continues to be the metal of choice across industries. Whether you're manufacturing precision components or structural supports, our aluminium bar stock at P&P Bornmore Metals offers the strength, machinability and corrosion resistance you demand.

Aluminium bars are known for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to corrosion and outstanding machinability - traits that make them a top choice over stainless steel, brass and other alloys in many applications. Aluminium is also non-magnetic, conducts heat and electricity efficiently, and is environmentally sustainable due to its recyclability.

Among the different metal forms, aluminium bar stock is especially popular in engineering, construction and fabrication, offering flexibility in design and manufacturing.

A Comprehensive Range of Aluminium Bars

At P&P Bornmore Metals, we supply a comprehensive selection of 6082-T6 aluminium bars in round, square and flat forms – all available from stock to suit a broad spectrum of engineering requirements. Additionally, our round bars include selected sizes in 6026-T6 and 2011-T3, catering to applications where high-speed machining or specific environmental standards are essential.

Aluminium Round Bar

Our aluminium round bars are ideal for applications that require precision machining and rotational symmetry, such as in automotive parts, shafts and machine components. The cylindrical shape offers uniform strength in all directions and is easy to work with on lathes and CNC machines.

Grades Available:

·         6082-T6 – Excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability.

·         6026-T6 – Superior machinability with reduced lead content; ideal for CNC turning.

·         2011-T3 – The go-to grade for high-speed machining, offering excellent chip control and surface finish.

Common Applications: Hydraulic fittings, drive shafts, marine components, automotive bushings and aerospace fittings.

Aluminium Square Bar

The square bar provides rigidity and is well-suited for structural and architectural applications. Its flat surfaces and 90-degree angles make it easy to weld, bolt, or fabricate into frames and assemblies.

Grade Available:

·         6082-T6 – Known for its high strength and toughness, making it a dependable choice for structural use.

Common Applications: Frames, supports, brackets, gates and metalwork in construction and transport industries.

Aluminium Flat Bar

With a broad surface area and strong edges, flat bars are ideal for fabrication where width and support are key. They are often used where strength and surface area are both crucial, and they can be easily drilled, cut, or machined.

Grade Available:

·         6082-T6 – A versatile choice, offering both high strength and excellent machinability.

Common Applications: Structural reinforcements, base plates, tooling and in the manufacturing of furniture or railings.
