Unfortunately, although it was posted on time for 24 hour delivery the Royal Mail did not deliver it for 2 days. Disappointing, but I guess sending it by courier would have cost more.
Really satisfied.
I needed some small rectangular aluminium sheets made up to use as Tiller Hoods to fix the tiller to the rudder for a Mirror Dinghy! The 1mm thick 200mm x 100mm sheets were just £1.07 each excluding vat and as the postage was 3x that amount I decided to order 10 for future projects! 1st Choice Metals provided a superb very cost effective service and cut the sheets with quick delivery.
I am truly delighted with them.
Aluminium Half Round Moulding
Aluminium, known for its strength-to-weight ratio, is a versatile construction material used in manufacturing vehicles. Aluminium half round moulding is a semi-circular aluminium bar that can be customised for decorative or protective purposes, such as serving as a buffer in vehicles.
Properties of Aluminium Half Round Moulding
Material Grade:
Our half round mouldings use 6063-T4 aluminium, valued for its reliability, strength, and workability. It’s a medium-strength alloy with good corrosion resistance.
Key Alloy Components:
Manganese: Enhances corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments.
Magnesium: Increases aluminium’s strength while maintaining its lightweight nature.
Zinc: Adds corrosion resistance and stability, allowing for precision manufacturing.
Why Choose 6063-T4 Aluminium Half Round Moulding?
Malleability: 6063-T4 is a medium-strength alloy, making it easy to work with in architectural and manufacturing projects. Its T4 temper enhances malleability, enabling hand bending up to 90-degree angles without failure.
Protection: Half round moulding serves as a protective layer for structural integrity, especially against damage. Aluminium’s corrosion resistance, coupled with manganese and zinc, offers protection against hazardous substances.
Aesthetics: Aluminium’s silver-like appearance provides a clean and uniform finish. The half round shape adds visual interest compared to rectangular moulding.
Common Uses
Transportation: Ideal for vehicle restoration, including buses, coaches, cars, trailers, and horse boxes. Commercial vehicles use it for aesthetics and to hide joints between aluminium sheets and panels.
Boats: Grade 6063T6 is popular for boat moulding, as its malleability allows for decorative trim, easily bent to shape.
Shop Fitting: Used in shops for layout changes, as an edging strip or protective rail for partition walls and doors.
