Description
203.2mm (8") Aluminium Round Bar – High-Quality Metal for Engineering and DIY Projects
The 203.2mm (8") Aluminium Round Bar is a premium-grade material widely used in various industrial and DIY applications. Manufactured from 6082 aluminium, it offers excellent strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, making it a versatile choice for numerous projects. Whether you're involved in large-scale engineering tasks or working on home improvements, this aluminium round bar is designed to meet your needs.
Material and Grade
This round bar is made from 6082 grade aluminium, a well-known material for its mechanical properties and high strength-to-weight ratio. This particular grade is commonly used in structural applications, where load-bearing strength is essential. As a medium-strength alloy, it’s ideal for use in engineering projects requiring robust and reliable materials.
Corrosion Resistance
One of the standout features of the 203.2mm aluminium round bar is its excellent corrosion resistance. Aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer that shields it from environmental damage, making this material perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications. Whether exposed to the elements or installed in a controlled environment, you can count on the bar’s long-lasting durability.
Versatility and Applications
This aluminium round bar has a wide range of uses, including:
- Engineering: Ideal for structural supports, frames, and load-bearing components.
- DIY Projects: Whether you’re working on custom machinery or metalwork, this material is easy to work with and modify.
- Marine Applications: Thanks to its superior resistance to corrosion, it’s also suitable for marine and outdoor environments.
- Construction: Used in frameworks, scaffolding, and other construction elements.
Weldability and Machining
The weldability of this aluminium round bar is fair, which means it can be welded using the correct techniques, though other alloys may be easier to work with if welding is a primary concern. Additionally, machining the 6082 aluminium bar is straightforward, and it can be precision-cut to meet specific project requirements.
Dimensions and Finish
With a diameter of 203.2mm, this aluminium round bar is supplied in a mill finish, which is its natural, untreated state. This provides a clean, smooth surface that’s ready for further finishing or processing, depending on your project’s requirements.
Weight and Handling
Weighing approximately 87.56 kg per metre, this aluminium round bar is a substantial material suited to industrial applications. However, despite its weight, the aluminium alloy ensures that it’s lighter than many other metals with similar strength properties, making it easier to handle and transport.
Summary
The 203.2mm Aluminium Round Bar is an excellent choice for those needing a strong, corrosion-resistant material for industrial, engineering, or DIY projects. Its versatility, durability, and excellent resistance to environmental factors make it a reliable and long-lasting material. Whether you’re constructing, fabricating, or crafting, this aluminium bar will meet your high standards for performance and quality.
