Aluminium Rod
What is Aluminium Rod?
Aluminium Rod is a solid cylindrical bar of aluminium used for machining, forging, welding, and structural applications. It offers an excellent balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal/electrical conductivity. Commonly available in a range of alloys and diameters, aluminium rods are used in manufacturing, engineering, construction, and transportation sectors.
Asiad Steel Industries supplies high-quality Aluminium Rods in precise tolerances and various grades, ensuring durability and machinability for critical applications.
