2011 aluminium bars

EN AW 2011 extruded aluminium bar

This alloy is the most often selected for high speed automatic lathes. It offers the following advantages: easy machining with any equipment; cutting stress lower than most of other alloys; longer life of cutting tools; cutting area always clean due to very thin chip; high mechanical properties; possibility to anodize finished parts in several colours*. * To get an optimal superficial finishing of anodized pieces, we suggest using suitable lubricants during machining.
