Aluminium Products & Services
Aluminium Products & Services
At Di Candilo Steel City, we supply aluminium products for a broad range of commercial, industrial and general applications throughout Perth and Western Australia.
From our Bayswater facility, we also provide cut-to-size and processing services for requirements ranging from individual parts and small projects through to fabrication, engineering, construction, mining and industrial applications.
Our Aluminium Products
We supply a range of aluminium products in commonly used grades, sizes and finishes, with additional products available through our supplier network.
- Aluminium Sheet & Plate: 5005, 5052 and 5083 alloys, typically available from 0.9mm to 25mm thick in mill finish, with 1200mm x 2400mm a commonly supplied sheet size.
- Aluminium Angle, Flat Bar & Round Bar: Available in a range of sizes and lengths depending on product and grade.
- Aluminium Tube & RHS: 6082 grade available in a range of sizes and lengths.
- Aluminium Tread / Checker Plate: 5052 grade, typically available from 1.6mm to 6mm thick in 1200mm x 2400mm sheets.
- Anodised Aluminium for Etching & Engraving: Commonly available in 1.5mm thickness and 1000mm x 500mm sheets, including black, red and blue finishes, with adhesive-backed options available.
Product grades, sizes and availability may vary between suppliers. Material specifications and supporting documentation can be provided where available through the relevant manufacturer or supplier.
Customers seeking additional information on aluminium alloys, properties and technical specifications can refer to resources published by the Australian Aluminium Council and Standards Australia.
Aluminium Services
Aluminium can be cut and processed to suit a range of project requirements, depending on the product, thickness and application.
- Laser Cutting: Commonly used where accurate profiles, cut-outs and holes with a clean edge finish are required. Laser cutting can also help minimise secondary part preparation.
- Plasma Cutting: Can be used for larger or oversized aluminium plate where laser cutting may not be suitable. The cut edge is generally rougher than laser cutting and may require additional preparation or finishing.
- Pressing & Bending: Aluminium sheet and plate can be formed to suit a range of fabrication and engineering applications, depending on the grade, thickness and required geometry.
- Deburring & Finishing: Small-scale linishing can be used where additional edge preparation or finishing is required.
Industry applications
Aluminium is commonly used where low weight, corrosion resistance and strength are important considerations. Different grades offer different properties, so material selection depends on the application, environment and processing requirements.
Common applications include:
- Construction & Architecture: Window and door frames, façades, roofing, cladding and other building components.
- Marine: Hull components, consoles, tanks, fittings and structural components, depending on the grade and application.
- Mining & Industrial: Equipment components, support structures, protective panels and general fabrication.
- Automotive & Transport: Body panels, structural components and applications where reducing weight can be beneficial.
- Fabrication & Engineering: Custom components, brackets, panels, frames and fabricated assemblies.
Frequently Asked Questions
We regularly supply aluminium sheet and plate in 5005, 5052 and 5083, along with a broad range of structural and extruded products in 6060 and 6082.
Our aluminium range also includes SHS, RHS, round tube and pipe, angle, channel, flat bar, round bar, checker/tread plate and perforated sheet, with additional sizes, grades and products available through our supplier network.
Yes. Aluminium can be cut and processed to suit the product, dimensions and required finish.
- Sheet & Plate: Laser or plasma cutting can be used depending on the grade, thickness, component size and required edge finish.
- Angle, Flat Bar & Round Bar: Can be cut to the required length using suitable cutting equipment.
- Tube, Pipe, SHS & RHS: Can be cut to length for fabrication, engineering and general project requirements.
The most suitable cutting method will depend on the aluminium product, dimensions and finished component requirements.
Different aluminium grades have different characteristics that can influence strength, forming, welding and corrosion resistance.
- 5005: Commonly used for sheet metal, architectural and general fabrication applications.
- 5052: Commonly used where formability and corrosion resistance are important considerations.
- 5083: A higher-strength grade commonly used for marine, structural and heavier fabrication applications.
- 6060 & 6082: Commonly used for extruded and structural products, depending on the application.
The appropriate grade depends on factors such as the required strength, environment, fabrication method and finished application.
