We are a world-class supplier of engineering raw materials. Our objective is to provide all our customers, from the small machine shop to the large multi-national corporation, a supply path that continuously delivers the highest levels of service, quality and value.
L111 is a medium-strength extruded bar and profile solution heat-treated, artificially aged and usually stocked controlled stretched to achieve the ‘T6511’ condition. The scope of the specification officially ends at 200mm. However, controlled stretched bar is made conforming to the full specification up to 10”(254mm) diameter dependant on the shape, although controlled stretching is not always possible on profiles.
L111 aluminium is the aerospace equivalent of Alloy 6082 for extrusions. The alloy offers good resistance to atmospheric attack, is very easily machined and is used in both aerospace and high technology applications.
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
We stock L111 in flats, round bar, square bar and hexagon bar.
