Aluminum Flat Rectangular Bar Extrusion Aluminium Flat Bar

High-Quality Aluminum Alloy Rod 3004, 6063, 5083 – Precision-Cold Drawn, Polished for Industrial Use

This premium aluminum alloy rod is engineered for superior performance in industrial applications. Manufactured in Shandong, China under strict quality control standards such as ASTM, AISI, JIS, DIN, and GB, it offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and formability. With a range of available grades including 3004, 6063, 5083, 6061, and 2024, this product caters to diverse engineering needs across sectors like automotive, construction, aerospace, and consumer goods manufacturing.

Key features include a polished surface finish for enhanced aesthetics and reduced friction, cold-drawn technique for improved dimensional accuracy, and standardized hardness levels that ensure consistent mechanical properties. The rods are available in round, square, or flat shapes, with diameters ranging from 2mm to 800mm and customizable lengths to meet specific project requirements. Each batch undergoes precise tolerance control (±1%) to guarantee uniformity and reliability during fabrication processes such as bending, welding, punching, cutting, and decoiling.

The 3004 Aluminum Extrusion variant stands out due to its manganese and magnesium composition—adding about 1% magnesium for solid solution strengthening, which allows thinner gauges without compromising structural integrity. This makes it ideal for high-volume production scenarios where weight savings matter, such as beverage can manufacturing or lightweight structural components. Unlike heat-treatable alloys, 3004 is non-heat treatable but highly workable through cold working techniques up to 75% reduction in area, followed by annealing at 344°C (650°F) for optimal ductility. Its temper options—T3 to T8—offer flexibility in balancing strength and malleability depending on the application.

Commonly used in sheet metal fabrication, storage tanks, architectural profiles, and custom extrusions, these aluminum rods provide excellent weldability using TIG or MIG methods and maintain good machinability when hardened. They are suitable for both hot rolling and cold rolling processes, making them versatile for OEM manufacturers seeking precision-engineered materials. Whether you're designing durable parts for marine environments, building energy-efficient structures, or producing precision components for machinery, this aluminum alloy rod delivers consistent results across global markets.

Users appreciate the material’s balance of cost-efficiency and performance, particularly in applications requiring moderate strength combined with ease of forming and minimal maintenance. Many industrial designers choose this alloy for prototyping and small-scale production runs due to its predictable behavior during processing and low risk of defects. Customers often highlight how the polished finish enhances final product appearance while reducing surface wear over time.

FAQs: What makes 3004 aluminum different from other alloys? It includes magnesium for added strength and thin-gauge capability, ideal for packaging and sheet metal. Is it suitable for outdoor use? Yes—it resists corrosion well in humid or coastal conditions. Can it be welded easily? Absolutely—TIG and MIG welding are recommended for strong, clean joints. How does cold drawing affect the rod? It improves surface finish, dimensional stability, and tensile strength compared to hot-rolled alternatives.
