Available Shapes
1. Square Aluminum Blocks
Square aluminum blocks—often referred to as aluminum cubes—are solid blocks with equal side lengths, commonly used for precision milling, fixture bases, molds, and structural applications. Typically made from common alloys such as 6061, 7075, 2024, and 5083, these cubes offer a balance of strength, machinability, and corrosion resistance to meet diverse industrial and custom machining needs.
2. Rectangular Aluminum Blocks
Rectangular aluminum blocks feature solid, flat-sided profiles with varying lengths and widths, making them suitable for mold bases, mechanical components, and structural parts. Manufactured from alloys such as 6061 and 6082, they provide reliable strength and dimensional stability for a wide range of industrial applications.
3. Round Aluminum Blocks
Round aluminum blocks are solid cylindrical blocks widely used in machining, CNC milling, mold making, automotive components, and aerospace structures. Common alloys include the general-purpose 6061, high-strength 7075, aerospace-grade 2024, corrosion-resistant 5083, and structural-grade 6082—with the choice of alloy based on specific performance and application requirements.
4. Precision Aluminum Blocks
Precision aluminum blocks are solid aluminum alloy components characterized by high dimensional accuracy and flatness, typically within ±0.01 mm. Compared to standard aluminum blocks, they offer superior strength, stability, and surface quality, ensuring minimal machining deformation and extended service life for the parts.
5. Custom Shaped Aluminum Blocks
Custom shaped aluminum blocks undergo specialized machining or cutting to meet unique design requirements. Kingrail Parts offers customization services across various alloys (such as 6061, 7075, and 5083), capable of producing irregular shapes, complex contours, and high-precision parts to support diverse customer applications.
Aluminum Block Manufacturing Types: Rolled vs. Forged
Understanding the manufacturing process is crucial for selecting the right aluminum block based on mechanical properties, machining requirements, and structural strength. Kingrail Parts offers two primary types—rolled aluminum blocks and forged aluminum blocks—to meet various industrial application needs.
1. Rolled Aluminum Blocks
Kingrail Parts' rolled aluminum blocks are renowned for their excellent flatness, uniform grain structure, and ease of machining. They are widely used in applications such as mold bases, precision machined parts, and structural components. Common alloys include 1060, 5052, 5083, 6061, 6063, 6082, and 7075.
Thickness: 0.25 in – 16 in
Width: 48 in – 96 in
Length: ≤158 in
Rolled blocks are the ideal choice when you require superior surface quality, dimensional accuracy, and efficient CNC machining.
2. Forged Aluminum Blocks
Forged aluminum blocks are produced under high pressure and temperature, resulting in a dense grain structure and superior mechanical strength. They are ideal for applications requiring high load-bearing capacity and fatigue resistance, such as aerospace structures, automotive suspension components, and defense parts. Common alloys include 7075, 7050, 2024, 2219, 2618, and 6061-T6.
Thickness: 4 in – 24 in
Width: 24 in – 60 in
Length: ≤158 in
Choose forged blocks for demanding environments where strength, durability, and toughness are the primary considerations.
