Description
An aluminum rod is a type of aluminum product produced through a
precision casting process that includes melting, purification, degassing, slag removal, and casting.
Depending on the alloying elements present, aluminum rods are
categorized into eight major series, each with unique mechanical and physical properties.
They offer a combination of light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent
machinability, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
