Aluminum Round Bar Versatile, High Strength-to-Weight Ratio

Aluminium round bar, also called aluminium rod, is one of the most popular and versatile aluminium products due to its machinability, durability and many varied applications. Aluminium bar products have a great strength-to-weight ratio and are commonly found in machinery parts, architecture, automobiles and aviation, and like all aluminium products.

The aluminium round bar is used in a variety of decorative applications, and is extremely popular among architecture projects. IT comes in a variety of sizes and specifications, which determines it reliability is particular applications. It can be used to construct frames, interior fittings, ladders, railings and in other interior design projects. They are also used to manufacture metal furniture, pneumatic installations and other miscellaneous furnishings.

As all aluminum round rod is a solid, the strength to weight ratio makes it a perfect alloy and material for the aerospace industry. Frames, support systems and components on many aircraft are made from round rod, and the additional corrosion resistance and excellent stress resistance are also important considerations in this application.

Everything from boat trailers to boat frames to components and design features on boats can be made, in part, from aluminum round rod. The same stress and corrosion resistance combined with lightweight and strength that makes it an important alloy in the aerospace industry also makes it a great choice on the water.

It is important to realize that aluminum is also naturally resistant to salt water corrosion, something that is problematic with many other types of alloys.
