Aluminium Alloys

Rapid laser cutting of materials up to 60mm thick
Overview

Aluminium sets itself apart from other materials, with its high strength and high corrosion resistance in comparison to its light density.

Extremely versatile and widely used material, Aluminium has exceptional weldability and machinability. Aluminium has a reflective nature, which has caused issues with CO2 in the past.

With the versatility of our 24kw Fibre Laser we can provide a precise, complex and clean cut. Perfect for Decorative Panels and Intricate Laser Cut parts. For additional protection the material can be supplied with a protective film coating from the Mills which can also be Laser Cut. Aluminium is popular with additional Surface Finishes such as PPC (Polyester Powder Coat) including Qualicoat & Anodising.

Aluminium is used within many industries including, Architectural, Food, Chemical Process Plant Equipment, Aerospace, Panelling, Ship Building, Bridges, Truck Bodies and more.

With our large bed Fibre Laser this allows us to cut up to 6000mm x 2000mm x 60mm thick.
