For manufacturers and engineers in Hamilton and beyond seeking a critical advantage, Hemi Metals is your local source for uncompromising quality. We specialise in supplying high-performance aluminium alloys, and our Aluminium 7050 Bar/Rods are a prime example. This material is engineered to deliver exceptional strength and durability, making it an ideal choice for demanding applications where failure is not an option and superior performance under stress is paramount.
The strength of Aluminium 7050 stems from its unique zinc and copper composition, which is further enhanced by a specialised tempering process. This gives the bar and rod forms truly impressive mechanical properties, including an exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio. It boasts superior resistance to stress corrosion cracking, maintaining its integrity even in challenging environments. This combination makes it a heavier-duty alternative to many other alloys.
