Guide to Aluminum Manufacturers

Aluminum information for your small business

By Betsy D. Vanderslice, Freelance


Aluminum has become a vital tool in many industries because of its corrosion resistance. You can find aluminum products everywhere, from automobiles and buildings to cookware and soda cans. As a small business owner, it is important that you have all the aluminum information at your fingertips from aluminum prices to the best dealers of aluminum metal.

If you use aluminum metal in your small business, keep these facts in mind before you buy:

1. Man has used other metals for thousands of years but aluminum has only been available commercially since 1854.

2. Aluminum is strong, light and malleable, making it perfect for a variety of jobs because you can customize it.

3. You can find an aluminum supplier in your neighborhood or on the Internet.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done


Find aluminum manufacturers and distributors knowledgeable about the uses and properties of aluminum

It is better to ask a professional if you are in doubt about exactly what size aluminum you need for a job. Find an aluminum distributor with an experienced staff willing to help you find precisely what you need.

I recommend: You can request a quote from Metal Supermarkets. Work with a representative if you are not sure what you need for your project. Watteredge Metals has hard to find metals and an experienced engineering staff to assist you with design and application.

Customize your aluminum products to avoid waste

Tailor your aluminum order to your specific needs to improve yield, increase production speeds and reduce downtime. Find an aluminum manufacturer willing to work with you. If possible, find one with no minimum order requirement to save money and reduce waste.

I recommend: United Aluminum custom rolls aluminum to meet your needs. Request a quote from Southern Tool Steel for custom orders cut to size. There is no minimum order requirement.

Contact an aluminum warehouse or wholesaler for the best deals

When you know what you want, it is important that you get it at the cheapest price possible. A metal wholesaler is a great way to save money. Some offer custom cutting and no minimum order, while others stock hard to find measurements.

I recommend: Speedy Metals stocks over 5,000 items, including aluminum, and will custom cut to any length with no cutting charges and no minimums. Parker Steel is the only steel distributor in the United States that stocks exclusively metric dimensional metals. They have a small minimum order of $85 and can usually ship your order in the same day.

Guide to Aluminum Basics

Aluminum metal and other products are less expensive to manufacture than silver or copper

By Deneatra Harmon


We're exposed to aluminum, or some form of aluminum metal, every day, ranging from automobiles, to food packaging and utensils, to soda cans and aluminum foil. Aluminum can even be found in appliances and construction materials for windows and doors. Aluminum is best known for its durability, strength and resistance to corrosion and temperature changes.

Considered to be one of Earth’s most abundant metals, aluminum comes in all different features, sizes, grades and compositions. The silver appearance of aluminum metal makes it not only useful to commercial or consumer products, but it makes a good conductor for electrical equipment. Aluminum manufacturers make aluminum sheet metal, aluminum alloys, bars, rods, spheres and strips. Specifications to look for when you buy aluminum alloy, aluminum sheet metal and other aluminum products include production capabilities, performance features and dimensions. Aluminum information such as related applications also helps you to become familiar with the products. Common applications for aluminum include casting, forging and machine assembly. If your business involves working with metals, learn about aluminum basics before adding this material to your inventory.

1. Pick aluminum to use for different applications.

2. Find quality products from aluminum manufacturers or distributors.

3. Consider recycling services for any leftover aluminum products.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done


Make sure to buy aluminum with different performance capabilities

Buy aluminum alloy and other aluminum metal that can withstand environmental changes and is equipped to handle industrial applications.

I recommend: Aluminum distributor Watteredge Metals sells aluminum sheets and plates capable of withstanding various temperatures, as well as metal fabrication, leveling, heat treating, waterjet cutting and plating applications. United Aluminum manufactures brand-name coils to be used for annealing, slitting and brazing purposes. Mandel Metals handles conversion coating, shearing, leveling and sawing of aluminum. The company markets prime and surplus aluminum to the aerospace and commercial industries.

Find a certified aluminum distributor or manufacturer

Shop for quality aluminum products to add to the effectiveness of your projects or products.

I recommend: ISO-certified All Foils includes aluminum foils, strips and sheets among its inventory. AS- and ISO-certified Yarde Metals stocks aluminum sheet metal in various shapes and sizes. RoHS-compliant Custom Aluminum Products manufactures aluminum for commercial and industrial purposes.

Recycle any leftover aluminum and help save the environment

Aluminum has become one of the most recycled metals. Locate recycling services that work with aluminum products, and other scraps and metals.

I recommend: C & M Metals offers aluminum and other scrap metal recycling services for consumers as well as manufacturers. B & G Iron & Metals provides full-service recycling of metals such as copper, stainless steel, brass and aluminum. Metal Recycling Consultants offers assistance to businesses interested in starting recycling services of scrap metals such as aluminum.

Guide to Aluminum Key Terms

Familiarize yourself with aluminum key terms to better understand the metals industry

By Christine Foley


Aluminum metal is all around us, from the cookware we use to the vehicles we drive. Soda cans we drink from at work and aluminum foil for barbecues all utilize aluminum in one form or another. This metal is known primarily for its durability and strength, as well as for being one of the most abundant materials in the world. Aluminum can be used in a number of different processes for a variety of different reasons. To understand more about aluminum and the processes it can go through, consider becoming educated on some important and valuable aluminum key terms for additional information.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done


Alumina

Alumina is an aluminum oxide. It is produced from bauxite via a complex chemical process and is white and powdery, bearing a resemblance to granulated sugar. While alumina is considered to be an intermediate step when producing aluminum from bauxite, it is also considered to be an important and valuable chemical all on its own.

I recommend: Facts, information and pictures with regard to alumina can be found at Britannica.com.

Machinability

Machinability describes the ease with which a metal is able to be worked with by machine tools. For example, aluminum is believed to have a good machinability and can be processed and worked with by machines fairly easily.

I recommend: The machinability of aluminum is explored in detail at Secat.net.

Reflectivity

Reflectivity describes the ability of a surface, such as metal or aluminum, to reflect light, as well as other electromagnetic radiations. Aluminum has been proven to have a high reflectivity. For visible light, it has an 80% reflectivity and for infrared radiation aluminum has a 90% reflectivity.

I recommend: The improved reflectivity of aluminum mirrors is discussed at PGO-online.com.

Thermal conductivity

Thermal conductivity describes a material's ability to transmit heat through itself. It also describes the material's ability to do so through direct contact with other materials and substances. Widely used in cookware, radiators and other heat exchange operations, aluminum has a good level of thermal conductivity.

I recommend: The thermal conductivity of aluminum, as well as some other common metals, is explored and explained at EngineeringToolBox.com.

Deburring

Deburring occurs when burrs, sharp edges and fins are removed from metal parts and pieces, such as aluminum pieces, via filing, grinding or tumbling.

I recommend: Ideas and concepts for deburring aluminum are discussed at Finishing.com.

Annealing

Annealing is a thermal treatment. The overall goal of annealing is to soften the metal. For instance, with aluminum, this is performed by removing all of the metals stress which might result from either cold working or coalescing precipitates from a solid solution.

I recommend: Specifics regarding the annealing of aluminum are discussed at KeyToMetals.com.
