WHAT ARE ALUMINIUM BARS?
Aluminium bars are solid rods or blocks made of aluminium, a metal known for its low density, high conductivity, and high resistance to corrosion.
Aluminium bars can be used as structural components in building construction, as electrical conductors in power transmission, and in many other applications where a strong, lightweight, and durable metal is required.
Aluminium bars can come in a wide variety of standard shapes, including:

KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF OUR ALUMINIUM BARS
Durable
As a material, aluminium is able to withstand incredibly harsh conditions without losing its shape or structural integrity. It will also never rust, making it ideal for outdoor and marine applications.
Lightweight
Aluminium bars are light enough to make handling and transporting them easy, yet still strong enough to provide necessary support.
Sustainable
As well as being one of the most plentiful resources on Earth, aluminium can be recycled again and again without losing its properties, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
Versatile
Aluminium bars can be easily moulded into both standard and non-standard shapes, allowing for a wide range of customisation options.

COMMON USES FOR ALUMINIUM BARS
Aluminium bars are some of the most popular components used in engineering, construction, and manufacturing projects. Here are some of their main applications:
Construction: Aluminium bars are used as structural supports in construction, as they are lightweight yet strong enough to withstand the weight of buildings.
Engineering: Aluminium bars are excellent at maintaining their shape in harsh conditions, making them a popular component in engineering projects like bridges.
Manufacturing: Aluminium bars are used as part of many products, as they are malleable enough to be moulded into virtually any shape. Examples include walking sticks, specialist bed frames, and other medical equipment.
Automotive: Aluminium is widely used in the automotive industry because of its low weight. Vehicles built with aluminium components require less force to move, improving fuel efficiency. Aluminium’s anti-corrosion properties also eliminates the need for heavy and costly anti-corrosion coatings.
Aerospace: The qualities that make aluminium so popular in the automotive industry also make it ideal for the aerospace industry. Modern aircrafts use aluminium alloys throughout their construction, from the cockpit controls to the engine turbines, while space shuttles are made of between 50% to 90% aluminium.

ALUMINIUM BAR FAQs
Yes. aluminium bars are 100% recyclable. Aluminium can be reprocessed indefinitely without any loss in quality, making it one of the most sustainable metals you can use in your project.
Aluminium bars will never rust. This is because rust is iron oxide, and most aluminium has little to no iron in its composition.
Aluminium bars can, however, corrode. Corrosion occurs when the protective oxide coating on the bars becomes unstable, exposing the metal to the elements. To avoid this, keep aluminium away from areas with low or very high pH. You could also try painting, anodising, or a similar surface treatment.
Aluminium is non-combustible and has a melting point of about 660 °C. Although it will burn eventually, it requires a far higher temperature than it would ever normally be exposed to.
The majority of aluminium bars are strong enough to be used for a wide range of construction and engineering applications, and have an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. However, when it comes to pure strength, steel bars are typically stronger. The right option to choose will depend on your project specs. Our team can help you decide on the perfect product to meet your needs.
