Nice clean piece of steel that was well wrapped for shipping
Good value for dollar, most places offering much thinner material for the same price. Was well packaged and shipped quickly. I will buy from here again, its actually easier that going to my local metal store who is so slow you can almost waste a morning there waiting! Time is $$, so plan ahead and order for those small jobs.
Order was processed and shipped quickly. Shipping was reasonable and the package arrived in a timely manner. Pieces were cut to length and deburred, ready to go. I don’t have a place where I can buy small order quantities.
Good prices, high quality and very fast delivery who could ask for more -certainly not me
Was as described and arrived in 3 days. It is hard to find a company that will sell small orders and this is appreciated thanks.
A1, great items cut at the right size. Would order again!
Arrived quickly and cut to length specified. Happy Customer.

Shipped on time, exact measurements and couldn’t be happier with the product and service
Best service, cut to order, so helpful. A joy to work with!
Good pricing, easy online ordering, hassle free on-time shipping. Definitely a positive trouble free experience!
Very simple to order various parts for a small project and know how much it would cost before commiting to it. I was able to quickly plan and build a small forge and have metal to forge.
great website, easy to navigate, found material that my larger supplier was no longer carrying. I will definitely be ordering again
Fast, quick, and easy. So easy to just order exactly what you need rather than arguing with someone at a welding shop on what they think you need
Great product. Exactly as described. They are very easy to deal with and shipping was very quick. I'm very happy. I brush the aluminum and then UV print on it. It worked very well.
Thanks to everyone at MRU. The brass flat bar and round bar I ordered is exactly what I needed. Excellent quality,service and price. The online site is easy to use.Much appreciated.

Ordered some 2" brass to use as decorative re-inforcement on a piece of furniture. Product came as ordered, well protected during shipping. Will use again.
Needed 5"×2" aluminum channel as a backer for dinghy davit system on 41' Chris*Craft. Quick delivery .... just what i needed. 5 star service.... Thx 😊

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.
