Aluminum Type
|
3003 These angles or flats are made from 3003 Aluminum Alloy. This alloy is about 20% stronger than 1xxxx series having high strength and fatigue resistance. It has excellent corrosion resistance. They are easy to work with and can be polished, brazed, welded, machined, drilled, riveted, bolted, cut, bent, re-bent, sanded, grounded, painted, filed, and buffed to an almost mirror like finish. It can be bent and re-bent more times than higher number alloys before it becomes brittle and breaks. Does not become brittle in extreme subzero weather and keeps its structural strength to 700-900 degrees Fahrenheit melting at about 1150 degrees. Its high electrical conductance is good for making electrical components or for using as grounding stakes. They dissipate heat quickly making for good custom thermal radiators and heat sinks of all kinds.

Cutting Warning
|
The use of circular saws can cause this material to jam and fly out violently. Most circular saws go too fast which cause the particles to become extremely hot and they fly much faster than wood that can create eye injuries.

Custom Lengths or Different Sizes

We can cut to length or cut different sizes for a cutting charge. For any profile less than 6in AND less than 1.5in height there is a $6 charge to cut the first piece, and $2 for each additional piece. For any profile wider than 6in OR higher then 1.5in there is a $25 cutting fee for the first piece and $5 for each additional pieces. Contact service@uaac.us for specific answers to your cutting questions. Also check out our 'Fabrication Wizard' service for cutting and fabrication of all kinds of profiles.

Visual Requirements
|
These may have discolorations or splotches or scratches from time to time. This often looks white.

Packaging
|
This item is wrapped in 1.5 mill polypropylene plastic for shipping unless the Protective Packaging Option is purchased instead.

|
Protective Packaging Option
|
This option protects your items from shipping damage using reinforced packaging and insurance. The cost of using this option is $11.99 per order. It’s available at the time of check out as a drop down selection box. We must charge this much to cover our costs because the weight of the reinforcement raises the weight of the order enough that we are required to use the more expensive Priority or Parcel rates. Which items/situations need this? Items that are 48in or longer in purchase quantities of 3 or less AND have any dimension in the cross section area of 1in or less.

Savings
|
After you add up all the shipping and taxes UAAC standard product prices can run 1/4 to 3/4 the price of big chain sources depending on how many you buy. The more you buy the cheaper each angle or flat costs. And I always have them in stock. Compare and save!

Issue Resolution
|
The fastest and best way to resolve an issue is to contact us directly by email or phone (six, seven, eight,)-(two, zero, zero)-(zero, eight, six, two). Do not open a Paypal case as it creates extra labor for us and can delay the resolution process by up to 30 days. Once a case is opened they draft the full purchase price of the item from our account and do not restore it for up to 30 days after the case is closed. This increases our product costs and lowers our customer service to you and future customers. Only open a case if you can-not resolve the issue by contacting us first.
