The company offers an extensive range of aluminium alloys, which are customized according to the needs of the client, thereby providing strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Marcus Metals has been delivering high-performance aluminum solutions with innovative manufacturing processes and a strong dedication to quality, which have helped in satisfying the customer’s expectations.
Aluminums round bars and rods generally contain between 95 and 99% pure aluminum with alloying elements present in relatively small percentages. In the 6061 alloy, some of the contents are as follows: 0.4-0.8% silicon, 0.7-1.2% magnesium, 0.15-0.4% copper, and 0.04-0.35% manganese, along with traces of other elements including zinc and chromium. All these components improve the strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. Mechanical properties include tensile strength of 260-310 MPa, yield strength of 240 MPa, and elongation of 12-18%. This makes it very suitable for applications requiring modest strength and good formability.
