Aluminum and aluminum alloys are lightweight, non-ferrous metals with good corrosion resistance, ductility and strength. Products differ in terms of composition, grade, shape, dimensions, and features. Commercially pure, unalloyed, or very low alloy aluminum does not contain or contains only very small amounts of alloying elements. By contrast, aluminum alloys contain significant amounts of added elements or constituents. Clad or bimetal stock consists of two different alloys that are bonded integrally together. Metal matrix composites have a composite or reinforced metal or alloy matrix filled with a second component, which may be in particulate, chopped fiber, continuous filament, or fabric form. Other unlisted, specialty or proprietary aluminum and aluminum alloys are also available. These materials are often based on a unique alloy system, use a novel processing technology, or have properties tailored for specific applications.    

Aluminum and aluminum alloys meet the compositional standards of the Unified Numbering System (UNS), a specification established by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and metal trade associations such as the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). The UNS assigns metals and alloys a lettered prefix and a five-digit number. Aluminum and alloy steels belong to the UNS A category and have designations such as UNS A15350. Aluminum Association (AA) grades are another common specification for aluminum and aluminum alloys. Other standards include casting grades, European Norm (EN), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standards, and U.S. military specifications (MIL-SPEC). QQ and QQS prefixes are used to designate specific MIL-SPEC metals. 


Products & Services Related to Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys
Carbon Steels and Alloy Steels
Carbon steels and alloy steels are ferrous alloys that contain carbon and other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, molybdenum, and nickel.
Copper, Brass and Bronze Alloys
Copper, brass and bronze alloys are non-ferrous metals with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity as well as good corrosion resistance, ductility and strength.
Metal Foils and Foil Stock
Metal foils and foil stock are very thin, metal-mill products with a thickness that is usually less than 0.006 in.
Refractory and Reactive Metals
Reactive and refractory metals include tungsten, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, chromium, hafnium, zirconium, and titanium. Reactive metals oxide rapidly and form a stable oxide. Refractory metals and alloys have melting points above ~ 1750° C (~ 3200 F°).
Stainless Steel Alloys
Stainless steel alloys are austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, precipitation hardened (PH), and duplex metal materials that are available in a wide variety of grades, shapes, and sizes.
Titanium and Titanium Alloys
Titanium and titanium alloys are non-ferrous metals with excellent corrosion resistance, fatigue properties, and a high strength-to-weight ratio.
Zinc and Zinc Alloys
Zinc and zinc alloys are non-ferrous alloys that are used widely in the production of die cast components.
