Value Collection 2011-0.5x36R Aluminum Round Rod Alloy 2011

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2011-0.5x36R is a solid aluminum round rod machined from Alloy 2011 stock, measuring 0.5 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length. Alloy 2011 is a free-machining aluminum alloy well suited for high-speed screw machine work, precision turned parts, and fittings. It offers excellent chip-breaking characteristics and dimensional stability, making it a reliable raw material for fabrication shops, machine shops, and maintenance teams cutting to length for custom components. The rod weighs approximately 0.714 pounds per piece.

This round rod is used in light manufacturing, industrial maintenance, and repair fabrication wherever a free-machining aluminum stock is required. Typical applications include turned fasteners, bushings, spacers, fittings, and other precision-machined components produced on lathes or screw machines. The 36-inch length allows for multiple cut-offs from a single piece, reducing material waste in short-run production scenarios. It is appropriate for both shop fabrication and field repair environments.

Key Features

• Alloy 2011 free-machining aluminum for excellent machinability and clean chip formation
• 0.5 inch diameter round rod profile ready for lathe, mill, or screw machine operations
• 36 inch length provides versatile cut-to-length flexibility for multiple parts per bar
• Lightweight at 0.714 pounds per piece for easy handling and transport
• Consistent dimensional stock suitable for precision-tolerance turned components

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum round rod for use in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance applications requiring Alloy 2011 free-machining aluminum in a 0.5 inch diameter form.

Installation Notes

Cutting, turning, and machining of aluminum round rod should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Secure the workpiece properly in a chuck or vise before cutting to prevent movement. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, when machining or cutting. Deburr all cut ends before handling or assembly to prevent injury.
