Standard Profile Bar Stock

Standard profile aluminum bar stock includes solid aluminum shapes used for machining, fabrication, structural support, trim, and general-purpose manufacturing. This class includes common profile shapes such as flat bar, square bar, round bar, half round bar, and other standard solid geometries designed to provide consistent dimensions and versatile starting stock for fabricated and machined parts. Available across multiple aluminum alloys, finishes, dimensions, and standard lengths, with cut-to-length options available for non-standard requirements.

Flat Bars

Aluminum flat bar is rectangular bar stock used for brackets, spacers, mounting plates, and framing components that need a flat load-bearing surface. It's the usual choice over sheet or plate when a project calls for a narrow, thick strip rather than a wide panel. Stocked in 6061-T6 and 6063-T5 alloy, in mill finish, clear anodized, or black anodized, across standard 4 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, and 12 ft lengths — a range of widths and thicknesses covers everything from light bracket stock to heavier structural strap.

Hex Bars

Aluminum hex bar is solid stock with a hexagonal cross-section, used mainly in machining and fastener production where an across-flats grip surface is needed for wrenches or tooling. Stocked in 6061-T6 alloy, mill finish, in standard 4 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, and 12 ft lengths, in inch across-flats sizes from 1/8" to 1" and metric sizes of 6mm and 10mm, matching common fastener and tooling standards. Cut-to-length service is available for shops that only need a handful of blanks rather than a full bar.

Round Bars

Aluminum round bar is solid, cylindrical stock used for machined shafts, pins, spacers, and turned parts. It's the standard stock shape for CNC machining and lathe work that starts from a round cross-section rather than a square or flat blank. Stocked in 6061-T6 and 6063-T5 alloy, mill finish, in standard 4 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, and 12 ft lengths, with cut-to-length available for non-standard runs, in both inch diameters from 3/16" to 1" and metric diameters from 5mm to 15mm.

Half Round Bars

Aluminum half round bar is a solid profile with a flat back and rounded face, used for architectural trim, decorative edging, furniture and fixture details, and applications where a raised rounded profile is preferred over standard flat bar. Its flat mounting surface makes it easy to attach to panels, frames, and other surfaces while the half-round face provides a smooth, finished appearance. Stocked in 6061-T6 alloy in mill finish, in standard lengths, with cut-to-length available for non-standard runs, across multiple widths and profile sizes.

Square Bars

Aluminum square bar is solid stock with a flat-sided square cross-section, used for framing and machined components where flat mating surfaces matter more than a round profile. Stocked in 6061-T6 and 6063-T5 alloy, mill finish, in standard 4 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, and 12 ft lengths. 6061-T6 is the better choice for machined parts and higher-stress applications; 6063-T5 machines more easily and holds a cleaner finish where appearance matters as much as strength. Common sizes run from light framing stock up to heavier bar used in equipment bases and jig bodies.

Round Tubes

Aluminum round tube is hollow, cylindrical stock used for railing, framing, and fixture fabrication that calls for a lightweight round profile. Stocked in 6063-T5 and 6063-T6 alloy, in mill finish or clear anodized, across standard 4 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, and 12 ft lengths. Diameters range from 1/4" to 1-5/8", in wall thicknesses from 3/64" to 7/32", so you can dial in strength versus weight without stepping up to a heavier-wall bar or profile shape. Cut-to-length service is available alongside full-length stock.

Square Tubes

Aluminum square tube is hollow stock with a square cross-section, used for structural framing and fixture assemblies that need both flat mounting surfaces and a lightweight profile. Stocked in 6063-T5 alloy, mill finish, in standard 4 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, and 12 ft lengths. The flat faces make it easier to bolt, weld, or clamp to than round tube, while still cutting weight versus a solid square bar of the same footprint. Sizes run from 1/2" to 1" square with a consistent 1/16" wall thickness.

Hex Tubes

Aluminum hex tube is hollow stock with a hexagonal cross-section, used in specialty fixtures and mechanical fit-up applications that need a hex-shaped hollow section to mate with hex-drive hardware or fittings. Stocked in 6061-T6 alloy, mill finish, in standard 4 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, and 12 ft lengths, in across-flats sizes from 1/2" to 1-1/2", in 1/8" and 1/4" wall thicknesses — the hollow section cuts weight versus solid hex bar wherever the application doesn't need a fully solid cross-section.

H Channels

Aluminum H channel is an H-shaped profile used to join two panels edge-to-edge or divide a structural assembly — common in paneling and framing wherever two flat surfaces need to connect along a shared edge. Stocked in 6063-T5 alloy, mill finish, in standard 4 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, and 12 ft lengths, in leg-to-leg openings sized to fit panels from 1/2" up to 2" thick, in wall thicknesses from 1/20" to 1/4". The center web keeps both panel edges aligned during assembly.

J Channels

Aluminum J channel is a J-shaped profile used to retain and finish panel edges in siding, trim, and cabinetry installation. Stocked in 6063-T5 alloy, in mill finish, clear anodized, or black anodized, across standard 4 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, and 12 ft lengths, with multiple leg depths available to match panel thickness. The open channel captures a panel edge from one side, making it a common choice at the perimeter of a panel run where the far edge is already secured by another method, and it's stocked in sizes to match a range of panel materials and thicknesses.

U Channels

Aluminum U channel is a U-shaped open profile used for framing, track systems, and edge protection, sized by leg height, web width, and wall thickness to match the part or panel it captures. Stocked in 6063-T5 alloy, in mill finish, clear anodized, black anodized, or brushed nickel anodized, across standard 4 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, 10 ft, and 12 ft lengths, in dozens of leg-height, web-width, and wall-thickness combinations ranging from 1/16" to 1/4", including a radiused-corner version for a softened edge profile.

Angle Bars

Aluminum angle bar is an L-shaped structural profile used for corner bracing, framing, and shelf or panel support, in equal-leg and unequal-leg sizes. It's the standard fix wherever two surfaces meet at a 90-degree angle and need reinforcement. Stocked in 6061-T6 and 6063-T5 alloy, in mill finish, clear anodized, or black anodized, across standard 4 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, and 12 ft lengths, in both equal-leg and unequal-leg sizes as well as a radiused-corner version for a softened edge.

T Bars

Aluminum T bar is a T-shaped structural profile used for framing, dividers, and bracing where a centered vertical support is needed along a flat run. Stocked in 6061-T6 alloy, mill finish, in standard 4 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, and 12 ft lengths, including a radiused-edge version for a softened flange, in flange and stem sizes from 1/2" to 3" and wall thicknesses from 1/16" to 3/16". The centered web is what distinguishes it from angle bar, which braces from the outside corner instead.

Z Bars

Aluminum Z bar is a Z-shaped structural profile used for framing, cladding support, and purlins in construction and paneling applications, where offset parallel flanges are needed to support overlapping panels. Stocked in 6061-T6 alloy, mill finish, in standard 4 ft, 6 ft, 8 ft, and 12 ft lengths — the offset-flange geometry is what lets one Z bar support two overlapping panel edges at once. Leg and flange sizes run from 1/2" up to 1-1/8", in 1/16" and 1/8" wall thicknesses.
