Aluminium Flat Bar

All of our aluminium flat bars are extruded. The extrusion process produces bars that have square edges. Unlike sawn plate or guillotined sheet, the corners of the section are smooth, not sharp.

The majority of our flat bars are supplied in grade 6082T6. This is a good general engineering grade. Aluminium flat bars in 6082T6 are suitable for machining, tapping and drilling. It has good strength properties and is used in structural applications. They can also be welded. They have excellent anti-corrosive properties and are suitable for polishing, powder coating and anodising.

Aluminium flat bars are used in a wide variety of applications. The smaller sections are often used as decorative trims, small spacers and thresholds. The larger sizes are often machined to size to create components for the automotive and rail industries, for components for material handling machines and weighting & packaging machines

Cutting Service

We are happy to provide the 1st 2 cuts free of charge. Any further cuts are charged at 50 Pence each.

If you require your material cutting, you must include details of your cutting requirements in the "Message To Seller" section on eBay (just before the payment screen). If you send the request in any other way (i.e via E-Bay message or E-mail) we cannot guarantee that we will get this information before your item is despatched.

Every time we cut your bar, we lose approx 5mm of material. i.e a 1000mm long bar would yield 10 equal pieces @ approx 95mm long not 100mm long. This doesn't apply to sheet 6mm or under and this is always cut with a guillotine.

Please be aware that we are stockholders, not engineers, and therefore offer a standard cutting tolerance of +/-2mm.
