Aluminum bar: make sure the quality

Aluminum is one of the lightest and, at the same time, strongest metals. The scope of its application is incredibly high - from the simplest structures to the details of spaceships! The alloy of this metal is used to make rods, which are used in various industries.

Features
Strong, corrosion-resistant, durable and environmentally friendly - all these characteristics have Aluminum alloy rod . Excellent technical qualities allow them to be used in many areas of industrial production. Modern industry produces aluminum rods of various shapes, lengths and even accuracy, and all this is in accordance with GOST 21488-97.

Form and application
A bar made of aluminum alloy, depending on the purpose, can be round, square and hexagonal in cross-section, also, according to a special order, it can be made in other shapes.

Round aluminum rods are used for the manufacture of parts for cars, truck frames, ship masts. With their help, bridges and frames of various structures are built. Thanks to the properties of the alloy, all these structures are strong, reliable and durable.

Square aluminum rods are also in great demand and are familiar to each of us - they are used in the production of doors and windows, for decoration of buildings, for the installation of many structures, in particular, office furniture.

Hexagonal aluminum rods can be found in engine parts and are widely used in mechanical engineering. And, of course, no bolt or nut is complete without them. This is a very popular form.

Lead sheets: reliable protection
The unique ability of lead to absorb γ-radiation turned it in the 20th century from a metal of alchemists and sorcerers into an irreplaceable protection against radiation. No X-ray room is now complete without lead plates and sheets, and this is not the only area of ​​their application.

What is it for
Manufactured according to GOST 9559 89 lead sheets are successfully used in medicine to protect patients and doctors when conducting various examinations - they are sheathed with the walls of X-ray rooms. Also, lead sheets are used to protect against radiation in nuclear power plants. Protection against harmful radiation is not the only area of ​​application for lead sheets. So, not a single rechargeable battery can do without them; many chemical liquids can only be stored in containers made of lead. Lead sheets are also often used for roofing historic buildings.
