Structural Aluminum at Steel Supply: Reliable Materials for Every Job
Even in the Blog of Steel, some materials are worth making an exception for, today it’s Structural Aluminum.
At Steel Supply, we stock a wide range of structural aluminum for fabricators, contractors, and manufacturers. It’s lightweight, strong, corrosion-resistant, and easy to work with.
From frameworks to components to architectural projects, we have what you need for jobs of any size.
Why Aluminum Works
Aluminum stands out because it does a lot without adding extra weight. It’s about one-third the weight of steel, while still offering solid strength and durability.
It also holds up well over time. The natural oxide layer helps protect against corrosion, making it a reliable option for both indoor and outdoor use. On top of that, it’s easy to cut, machine, and weld, which keeps projects moving.
What We Carry
We offer a range of structural aluminum shapes to support different applications:
- Angles for framing and reinforcement
- Channels
- Beams for structural support with less weight
- Round bar for machining and fabrication
- Flat bar for general use
- Square and rectangular tubing
Where It's Used
Structural aluminum shows up across a lot of industries. You’ll see it in construction, trailers and transportation, industrial equipment, and architectural work.
It’s especially useful in environments where moisture or weather exposure is a factor.
Available Grades
We primarily carry 6061 aluminum. It’s widely used because it balances strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance.
