Aluminium Flat Bar

Commonly used in grade 6082-T6, aluminium flat bar has the following properties:

  • Medium/high strength aluminium/magnesium/silicon alloy
  • Very good surface finish
  • High corrosion resistance
  • Weldable
  • Good for Anodising and Powder Coating

Aluminium flat bar is also available in grades 6063-T6 and 6063A-T6 and is sold in standard 5 m lengths.  For more information on the different characteristics of aluminium grades, please see our aluminium page.

We are also able to cut to length, to high tolerances, using our in-house fabrication facilities.  Please contact one of our sales teams for more information.
