We work with nominal thicknesses so it s important to know the thickness tolerance on the material you chose in order to know if the final product will be suitable for your application.

Aluminum is a general purpose alloy commonly used in extrusions and is also available in sheet metal.
During the rolling process the rollers bow slightly which results in the sheets being thinner on the edges.

Specified width in.
However it is not recommended for sheet metal work because it tends to crack on the outside radii once it passes its yield and therefore requires a much larger radii to be able to bend properly.
Offering good corrosion resistance and conductivity of heat and electricity most alloys also provide moderate formability and machinability.
Standard tolerances for aluminum usually choosing material thickness is one of the first steps a designer takes when starting a project.

6061 aluminum is also very easy to machine.
Aluminum sheet and plate are lighter in weight than steel brass and copper and have high strength to weight ratios.
Call for specific tolerance if needed.
