About this Aluminium stock
Product Overview
This Aluminium Round Bar is available as grade 2011 T3. It is a high-performance alloy that machines exceptionally well and possesses high mechanical strength. Often referred to as a 'Free Machining Alloy,' it is ideally suited for use in automatic lathes, making it perfect for the production of complex and detailed parts.
While the machining characteristics of 2011 T3 are excellent, it is important to note that it has poorer corrosion resistance compared to other alloys. Therefore, it is best used in applications where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern.
Applications
The 2011 T3 aluminium round bar is commonly used in a variety of applications that require manufactured parts made from repetition machining, including:
- Automotive Trim
- Appliance Parts
- Ordnance Parts
- Fasteners & Fittings
