Structural Aluminum Bar Stock

TW Metals supplies aluminum bar stock for both aerospace and commercial applications. Since aluminum weighs approximately a third the weight of similar steel section, it is the obvious choice when weight is a factor.

Excellent resistance to corrosion permits its use without protection in most environments. Aluminum’s ability to transmit heat rapidly and efficiently make it an ideal material for the heat transfer processes. Aluminum bar can formed readily and has excellent weld ability.

TW Metals stocks bars in 2024, 6061, 6063, 6101 and 7075 alloys in a variety of tempers.
