Aluminium Products & Alloys for UK Industry
A comprehensive range of aluminium alloys, bars, tubes, sheet, plate and specialist products for engineering and manufacturing applications.
Aluminium Products & Alloys
Beyond the 5083 and 7020 ranges, ILF Products stocks and supplies other aluminium products and alloy grades from Cannock, Staffordshire. Bar, tube, sheet and plate are held alongside other sections, in metric and imperial sizes. As a result, we support customers across engineering, transport, construction, aerospace, automotive and general manufacturing.
Each aluminium alloy offers a different balance of strength, weight, corrosion resistance, machinability and formability. Some customers already have a specified grade. Others need to source a particular product, and our team can help with availability and supply requirements either way.
Specialist Aluminium Products
1
6061-T6 Drawn Tubing
A versatile aluminium-magnesium-silicon alloy, 6061-T6 combines good strength with corrosion resistance, formability and machinability. That balance suits it to drawn tubing applications.
2
6082-T6 Aluminium
A high-strength structural alloy from the 6000 series, 6082-T6 offers excellent corrosion resistance. In addition, it machines and welds well, so it suits more highly stressed fabricated and machined components.
3
7075 Aluminium
Alloyed primarily with zinc, magnesium and copper, 7075 is a high-strength aluminium grade selected for demanding engineering applications.
Aluminium Grades Available
| Aluminium Grade | Typical Characteristics |
|---|---|
| 6061-T6 | Versatile structural alloy offering strength, machinability and corrosion resistance |
| 6063 | Common extrusion alloy with good corrosion resistance and surface finish |
| 6082-T6 | Strong structural 6000-series alloy with excellent corrosion resistance |
| 7075 | High-strength alloy suited to demanding engineering applications |
| 1050 | High-purity aluminium with excellent formability, corrosion resistance and good electrical and thermal conductivity. |
| 1070 | Higher-purity aluminium offering excellent conductivity, corrosion resistance and formability for electrical and general engineering applications. |
| 3003 | Manganese-alloyed aluminium combining good formability, corrosion resistance and moderate strength for general fabrication and engineering use. |
| 3103 | Versatile aluminium-manganese alloy offering good corrosion resistance, formability and useful strength for fabricated and industrial components. |

Aluminium Supply & Processing
Extensive Stockholding
We carry a broad range of aluminium grades and product forms, helping customers source both commonly specified and specialist aluminium materials from one supplier.
Cut to Your Requirements
Aluminium can be supplied in standard sizes or cut to suit your required dimensions, reducing unnecessary preparation and material handling.
CNC Machining
Our in-house CNC machining capabilities allow aluminium to be processed into components manufactured to customer-supplied drawings and specifications.
Further Processing
Alongside material supply, our wider capabilities include cutting, punching, bending and other manufacturing processes, helping customers consolidate material and component requirements through a single supplier.
Other Aluminium Products FAQs
ILF supplies a broad range of aluminium products including bar, tube, sheet, plate, extrusions and busbars across numerous alloy grades.
Our wider aluminium range includes numerous grades alongside our dedicated 5083 and 7020 products. These include 6061-T6, 6082-T6 and 7075, with additional aluminium specifications available depending on your requirements.
Both are versatile 6000-series aluminium alloys. 6061-T6 offers a strong balance of strength, corrosion resistance and machinability, while 6082-T6 generally provides greater structural strength and is widely used for more highly stressed applications.
7075 is a high-strength aluminium alloy commonly selected for demanding engineering applications where strength, fatigue resistance and low weight are important.
Yes. Alongside aluminium stockholding, ILF provides cutting, CNC machining, punching and bending capabilities, allowing material to be processed in accordance with customer-supplied drawings and specifications.
