Marcus Metals is a leading manufacturer and supplier in Midland, UK. We are known to be a leading producer and distributor of quality aluminum items. Excellence and precision are reflected in the high-quality range of aluminium solutions that they deliver. we include flat bars and rods, all designed with diverse needs of different sectors. Our aluminium flat bars and rods have gained massive fame due to its higher tensile strength, excellent resistance towards corrosion, and various flexibility that suits many constructions along with aerospace, automobile usage. Marcus Metals pride itself of great customer services ensuring swift deliveries and reasonable price tags at each product.
Aluminium flat bars and rods find considerable application in construction, manufacturing and fabrication industries. Aluminium flat bars are elongated, flat strips with a rectangular cross-section and widely used in structural applications, machinery, and frames. Aluminium rods are cylindrical in section. Aluminium rods can be machined to create parts for mechanical and electrical applications, welded, or used directly as is. The two products are well-known for being lightweight, corrosion-resistant, with an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. These properties make them ideal for aerospace, automotive, and architectural applications. They come in a variety of grades, sizes, and finishes to suit diverse industry needs.

Yes, aluminum flat bars are corrosion-resistant due to the natural oxide layer that forms on their surface, protecting them from environmental factors like moisture and air, preventing rust and degradation.
Aluminium flat bars can withstand moderate temperatures but may lose strength at high temperatures above 150°C (302°F). Prolonged exposure can lead to deformation and reduced mechanical properties.
Yes, aluminum rods can be customized in size and length according to specific requirements. Manufacturers often offer custom machining services to meet exact dimensions and tolerance specifications.
Aluminium bars and rods are widely used by various industries because of lightweight, corrosion-resistant properties and excellent strength-to-weight ratios. The common applications can be found in structural constructions in the construction, aeronautical, and car industries as frames, support, and reinforcement. In electrical industries, aluminium rods perform as conductors in lines of power transmission. They are also applied in manufacturing heat exchangers, marine hardware, and pipelines for their rust resistance and protection against oxidation. Another application is in machinery part production where aluminium bars and rods have become vital components. They come in handy as tools, fittings, with good durability across industries.
