Aluminium

Stellanox Steel is a top supplier and stockist of premium aluminium products with outstanding corrosion resistance, better thermal conductivity, and lightweight construction applications. Aluminium is perfect for the automotive, aerospace, construction, marine, and packaging industries because of its high strength-to-weight ratio, recyclability, and non-magnetic nature.

Sheets, plates, tubes, bars, pipes, rods, coils, and forgings are just a few of the many grades and product forms of aluminium that we provide; all are produced in accordance with international quality standards.

What is Aluminium?

Aluminium is a lightweight, silvery-white metal that is renowned for being extremely ductile, non-toxic, and non-corrosive. Because of its easy workability, thermal/electrical conductivity, and formability, aluminum, the second most used metal in the world after iron—is essential to the engineering, transportation, building, and packaging sectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore our FAQs for insights on materials, customization, and delivery.
What grade of Aluminium is best for marine use?
5000 series, especially 5083 and 5052, are best for marine due to their high magnesium content and resistance to saltwater corrosion.
Can Aluminium be welded?
Yes. Grades like 6061 and 5083 are highly weldable using MIG or TIG methods.
Is Aluminium suitable for structural load-bearing applications?
Yes. Aluminium 6061 and 7075 are widely used in structural applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio.
How does Aluminium compare to stainless steel?
Aluminium is lighter, more thermally/electrically conductive, and easier to machine, while stainless steel offers higher tensile strength and wear resistance.
