ROLLED ALUMINUM
Sheet, coil & strip
From a flat panel to a coil-fed production run, the material has to work for your process.
We help you choose between sheet, coil and strip, then review the alloy, temper and surface with you. The way you cut, form or finish the material helps us understand what you need.
- Alloy options
- 1050 / 1100 · 3003 / 3105 · 5005 / 5052 / 5754
- Temper options
- H14, H22, H24 and H111, depending on the alloy and application
- Surface options
- Mill finish, oil-free or low-oil surface, protective film, paper interleaving, embossed or painted finish
Alloy and temper combinations depend on the product. We’ll check the combination and availability for your request.
| Product form | Specification details | Additional requirements |
|---|---|---|
SheetFlat material in defined formats for fabrication, panels and components. Sheet inquiry | Alloy and temper; thickness × width × length; dimensional tolerance; sheet count or total weight. | Flatness, surface appearance, grain direction where relevant, film protection or interleaving, and blank sizes. |
CoilContinuous rolled material for coil-fed production and further processing. Coil inquiry | Alloy and temper; thickness and width; quantity; coil inside diameter, outside diameter and individual coil weight. | Winding and packaging orientation, surface oil condition, coating requirements and any limits set by the receiving equipment. |
StripNarrower rolled material for forming, component production and specific-width requirements. Strip inquiry | Alloy and temper; thickness and strip width; width tolerance; quantity; coil or winding requirements. | Edge condition, burr limits where specified, winding direction, and coil dimensions or weight. |
Surface & pattern options
We’ll review the appearance and protection your finished product needs.
Tread & patterned sheet
Options include 1-bar, 2-bar, 5-bar and diamond patterns. We’ll review the base thickness, overall thickness where relevant, pattern and dimensions.
Painted material
Coating system, color, gloss and coated faces, matched to your appearance and performance requirements.
Protected surfaces
Film protection and paper interleaving can help protect the surface through transport, handling and fabrication.
EXTRUDED ALUMINUM
Standard sections, bar & custom profiles
A familiar section or a shape made for your product—we can work through either with you.
Talk to us about standard solid and hollow sections, bar for machining, or profiles made to your drawing. We review the dimensions that matter for fit and function, along with the material and finish.
- Standard-profile option
- 6063-T6
- Bar alloy options
- 6061 / 7075 or your specified alloy, with the required temper and stress-relief condition
- Finish options
- Mill finish, anodized or powder-coated, with visible faces and machining requirements reviewed together
We’ll confirm the alloy, temper, dimensions and availability for the section you need.
| Product form | Specification details | Additional requirements |
|---|---|---|
Standard shapesAngles, T profiles, round tube, square and rectangular tube, and flat sections. Standard-shape inquiry | Section type; outside dimensions; wall thickness for hollow sections; alloy and temper; cut length and quantity. | Dimensional tolerance, straightness, twist, surface finish, end condition and any fit or assembly requirement. |
Bar for machiningSolid round, square, rectangular and flat bar for parts made from stock material. Machining-bar inquiry | Cross section and dimensions; alloy and temper; length; dimensional tolerance; quantity by piece or weight. | Stress-relief condition if specified, machining allowance, straightness, sawn-end requirements and applicable material standard. |
Custom industrial profilesMachinery and framing sections, conveyor and pneumatic profiles, display and cooling profiles, or a customer-defined geometry. Custom-profile inquiry | PDF, DWG or DXF section drawing; overall dimensions; wall thickness; critical tolerances; alloy and temper; required lengths. | Visible surfaces, finish, mating or functional features, machining operations, batch quantity, estimated annual demand and sample approval requirements. |
CUSTOM PROFILES
Let’s look at your drawing.
We’ll review the dimensions that control fit and function, and discuss any drilling, milling, tapping, boring or precision cutting. If this is a repeat production part, tell us about your order quantities and schedule so we can consider those together.
PEOPLE YOU CAN TALK TO
You don’t need every answer before you call on us.
Have a drawing, an old purchase order or just a part in mind? Start there. Chelsea and the Foundaire team will help you work through the material options and explain what comes next.
Chelsea Savan
Director of Sales and Marketing
- Help choosing the material. We review your application, specification and finish together.
- A source we can stand behind. We check that the source can meet the product requirements before quoting.
- Support after you order. Our team stays involved and works with you to resolve product concerns.
FINISHES & PREPARATION
Material prepared for your process
If your material needs cutting, finishing or machining, bring that into the conversation. We’ll review the work involved and the supply options with you.
Cut & slit material
Cut lengths, sheet blanks and strip widths, with the tolerance, edge condition and packaging your process needs.
Anodized surfaces
Color, appearance, visible faces and coating thickness can be reviewed against your finish specification or approved reference.
Coated products
Painted rolled material or powder-coated profiles, with coating system, color, gloss and coated faces matched to your requirements.
Machined profiles
We review machining and extrusion drawings together, including holes, threads, critical tolerances and inspection requirements.
HELP WITH SPECIFICATIONS
What helps us quote your material
A drawing or existing purchase specification helps. If you don’t have one, tell us what you’re making. We’ll work through the remaining details with you, in inches or millimeters.
