With ShapeCUT adding another aluminium router to our expanding range of tools, what better time to take stock of our range of Aluminium grades and services.
Aluminium is a brilliant, silver-white metal that is similar to steel, both physically and mechanically. In fact, some of same the fabrication tools and methods can be used in steel and aluminium.

A quick search of Aluminium will turn up a whole array of numbers. But what do they mean?
Most aluminium grades in commercial use are alloys. Elements like iron, copper, silicon, magnesium, zinc and manganese have been added to a pure aluminium base to enhance key properties. The closest you’ll get to pure aluminium are the 1XXX series with 99% + purity, seen in power grids and packaging.
Other alloys, like the 2XXX, 6XXX and 7XXX series, are heat-treatable, meaning they are strengthened by heating the aluminium and rapidly cooling to freeze the atoms in place.
Non-heat treatable alloys, 3XXX, 4XXX and 5XXX, are strengthened by “cold-working” the metal, through methods like rolling and drawing.
New aluminium alloys are being created all the time.
