Aluminium metal surface texture

Aluminium

Lightweight, corrosion resistant, and endlessly versatile: we stock aluminium sheet and plate in the alloys fabricators rely on, including 1050A, 5754, and 5083. EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates are available on request.

The right alloy for the job

We stock the most widely used wrought alloys — 1050A, 5754, and 5083 — covering pure, general fabrication, and marine and shipbuilding applications.

1050A — pure aluminium

Commercially pure (99.5%) with excellent corrosion resistance and formability. Ideal for bending, spinning, and decorative work.
