Aluminium Sheet/Plate
Up to
6mm thick, our aluminium sheet and plate is cold rolled to size. Thicknesses
from 1mm – 4mm are supplied in grade 1050 H14, any thicknesses above that are
in grade 6082T6.
1050 H14
grade is of a minimum 99.5% pure aluminium. It has excellent formability and is
suitable for MIG and TIG welding. It is commonly used as panels for classic
cars, kit card and sports cars.
The
benefits of 1050 H14 aluminium is that it has excellent corrosion resistance
and is ideal for anodising or powder coating. Owing to this feature it is often
used in the manufacturing of signs and curtain walling.
It is
suitable for use on commercial vehicle bodies, horse boxes, trailers and
caravans.
The
6082T6 material is harder and lends itself to structural applications. It has
good machinability and is commonly used as base plates for machining and sump
guards on performance cars

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.
