Supply and Ordering Information
| Product | ASTM B211 / ASTM B221 Aluminium Round Bar and Rod |
|---|---|
| Alloy designation | Aluminium alloy as ordered |
| Product form | round bar and rod |
| Reference standard | ASTM B211 or ASTM B221 |
| Temper / condition | Specify the required temper on the enquiry; availability and properties depend on alloy, thickness or diameter |
| Dimensions | Thickness or diameter, width and length are confirmed with the quotation |
| Surface | Mill finish, polished, brushed, protective film or customer-specified finish where applicable |
| Documentation | Material certificate and requested dimensional or inspection reports |
Dimensional Options and Processing
| Cut-to-size | Saw cutting, shearing, laser or waterjet cutting selected according to product form and tolerance |
|---|---|
| Tolerance | Commercial or precision tolerance must be stated with the enquiry |
| Edge / end preparation | Mill edge, cut edge, deburred edge, chamfered ends or drawing-specific preparation |
| Additional processing | Flattening, leveling, drilling, machining or surface protection by agreement |
| Traceability | Alloy, temper, heat or batch reference and package identification retained through dispatch |
Material Verification
| Chemical composition | Acceptance follows the limits in the ordered standard and alloy designation |
|---|---|
| Mechanical properties | Values depend on temper, product form and thickness or diameter; use the certificate for the supplied lot |
| Inspection | Dimensions and surface are checked against the confirmed order |
| Optional requirements | PMI, third-party inspection and additional testing can be quoted when technically applicable |
Fabrication Guidance
| Cutting / machining | Use sharp tooling, stable clamping and compatible coolant to reduce burrs and surface pickup |
|---|---|
| Forming | Bend radius and forming route depend on alloy, temper and thickness |
| Welding | Where welding is intended, confirm filler selection and procedure for the specific alloy and service |
| Corrosion protection | Avoid embedded carbon-steel contamination and protect finished surfaces during storage and transport |
| Engineering review | The purchaser is responsible for confirming suitability for load, fatigue, corrosion and operating temperature |
Typical Applications
Typical enquiries include machined components, transport structures, marine or general engineering parts, enclosures, fixtures and fabricated assemblies. Application suitability must be confirmed for the selected alloy, temper and product dimensions.
Packaging
Material is interleaved or wrapped as required, secured on pallets or in export cases, and marked to preserve product and document traceability. Packaging is selected according to product form, dimensions, surface condition and shipping route.
Procurement Confirmation
| Please provide | Alloy and standard; temper; dimensions; quantity; tolerance and finish; processing; testing and certificates; destination and delivery requirement |
|---|---|
| Quotation review | Availability, compliance, processing route, inspection, packaging and lead time are confirmed before acceptance. |
