Aluminum Plate Stock

Specialized aluminum suppliers can provide aluminum plate at specific thicknesses and dimensions and in various stock types, including mold, cast and wrought aluminum plate according to an end-user’s application. Each stock type has its attributes and advantages.

Wrought Aluminum – Parts made from wrought aluminum tend to be stronger, more resistant to thermal stress and have fewer defects than cast aluminum.

Cast Aluminum – Cast aluminum parts are often lower-cost, and they have higher strength at high temperature levels.

Mold Aluminum – Mold plate is able to include inserts, and it can produce products at lower prices, especially compared to CAD/CAM-derived counterparts.

Cast Jig and Tool Aluminum –
Stock of this type, including Alca 5, produced by PCP Aluminum, and Mic 6, produced by Arconic, allows for high flatness and thickness tolerances and top-quality finishes as a result of double-sided precision grinding.

State-of-the Art Sawing and Turnaround

Due to in-house sawing and machining capabilities and the best sheet, bar and plate stock in the industry, specialized aluminum suppliers can also make high-volumes available in custom widths and lengths according to short lead times.

Aluminum suppliers can also provide a wide range of extruded stock material in any size or diameter. No matter the dimensions, they can produce aluminum flat stock, round stock, rectangular stock and square stock for a variety of customer needs.
