Our aluminium flat bar is suitable for any application where a high strength, low weight material is required, and it is available in lengths pre-cut to your requirements. Simply enter the size of flat bar you require into the price calculator below.
Non-ferrous metals are so called because they do not contain iron. This results in a fantastically lightweight material which is also non-magnetic and highly resistant to corrosion, especially that caused by oxygen. Aluminium is a high performance and versatile alternative to steel thanks to these qualities and also its superb formability; and it can be worked and fabricated easily without breaking.
Metal Mate aluminium flat bar is lightweight and easy to work with, available in various widths and lengths. All profiles are in mill finish.
Pure aluminum has a conductivity of about 65 percent of the International Annealed Copper Standard (lACS). Aluminum can be produced 99.99 percent pure; however, this purity is costly to achieve and the mechanical properties are low.
Aluminum 1350 is a commercial high-purity aluminum with 61 percent conductivity. The tensile strength of each 1350 temper is determined by the amount of work given the metal during fabrication. Today, most 1350 aluminum bus conductors are of -Hlli temper for extrusions, -H112 for sawed rolled plate, and -F for cast bars.
Other aluminum alloys may be used for bus conductors. However, they should be used with care since conductivity and mechanical properties can be greatly affected by small amounts of alloying elements.

6061 Aluminum flat square 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. Aluminum Supply stocks 6061T6 but we will special order any alloy in any size and custom cut to size to meet your requirements.
We are among the topmost manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters of supreme quality 6063 Aluminum Square Bar. These products are manufactured from high quality aluminum, which is obtained from reliable vendors. The offered bars find vast application in various nuclear reactor components, heat treatment furnace, and petrochemical industries. Our logistic professional ensures that these bars are delivered in stipulated time constraint at customers’ end.
The 6082 T6 grade is of a general engineering specification and one of the most commonly used alloys in the UK. Being strong and resistant to corrosion, it is ideal for machining and light engineering.
We supply a large variety of aluminium flat bar in both imperial and metric measurements. With all sizes, we offer a variety of lengths enabling you to pick a size nearest to what you require.
Pure aluminum has a conductivity of about 65 percent of the International Annealed Copper Standard (lACS). Aluminum can be produced 99.99 percent pure; however, this purity is costly to achieve and the mechanical properties are low.
After World War II, a new conductor alloy, 6101, was developed wbich had considerably higher yield strength and better creep resistance than 1350. The alloy contained magnesium and silicon for high mechanical strength without significant reduction in conductivity. The strength of this alloy (6101) is obtained by suitable heat treaunents, occasionally combined with some cold work.
