À propos de notre aluminium
La plupart des projets en aluminium commencent et finissent avec le 6061: il s'usine propre, il soude bien et il tient le coup dehors. C'est la majeure partie de notre tablette d'aluminium pour une raison, presque tout en T6. Vous formez ou pliez de la tôle? Le 5052 prend un pli sans fendre. Garnitures anodisées ou travaux d'architecture? C'est l'extrusion 6063. On garde aussi de la tôle 3003 pour la fabrication générale.
On vous couvre côté formes: barre plate, barre ronde, barre carrée, barre hexagonale, cornière, profilé en U, tôle, tuyau, et tube carré et rectangulaire. Choisissez une dimension, tapez votre longueur en pouces, et on coupe à +/- 1/8 po et on expédie partout au Canada. Pas certain de l'alliage qui convient? Appelez au 902-468-1112 et on va en jaser.
Which aluminum alloy should you buy?
6061-T6, unless you've got a reason not to. It's strong enough for brackets, frames, jigs, and machined parts, it welds, and it handles weather without paint. The exceptions are worth knowing: bending sheet wants 5052, anodized trim and visible edges want 6063, and budget sheet fab is 3003's whole job.
| Alloy | We stock it as | Buy it for |
|---|---|---|
| 6061-T6 | Most shapes on the rack | Brackets, frames, machined parts, anything with a bolt through it |
| 6063-T5 | Angle, channel, and tube profiles | Railings, trim, enclosures, edges people see and touch |
| 5052-H32 | Sheet | Sheet that gets bent or formed without cracking |
| 3003 | Sheet | General fab, liners, and patch panels |

What shapes can you get cut to length?
Why build with aluminum instead of steel?
Weight. Aluminum runs about a third the weight of steel, so anything you lift, carry, tow, or bolt to a vehicle gets easier to live with. The honest trade: it's softer, it dents sooner, and a 6061 bracket usually needs more section than the steel one it replaces. If the part bolts to a trailer or a boat, that trade is usually worth making.
Will aluminum corrode?
Not the way steel does. It forms its own oxide skin and stops there, so uncoated 6061 outdoors just goes dull grey and keeps working. Near salt water it can pit over time: rinse it occasionally, and put 316 stainless fasteners through it rather than plain steel. If looks matter, anodizing is the finish, and 6063 anodizes the cleanest.
