Professional Aluminium Round Rods High-Lustre Precision Profiles

These professional-grade aluminium round rods are a staple for high-precision modelling and technical prototyping. Renowned for their exceptional aesthetic quality, the finer diameters possess a brilliant, reflective finish that closely resembles chrome. Available in a wide range of diameters, from delicate wires to robust structural bars, these rods provide a lightweight, corrosion-resistant solution for both functional and presentational projects.

Applications:

• Architectural Model Making: An aesthetically satisfying choice for representing metal constructions, structural steelwork, and contemporary facade elements. The high-lustre finish is perfect for depicting chrome or polished stainless steel fixtures in high-end presentation models.
• Film & TV Prop Making: Ideal for constructing lightweight futuristic props, scientific equipment, and "hero" details. The materials low weight makes it easy for actors to handle large props, while the bright finish ensures they stand out under studio lighting.
• Prototyping & Engineering: Larger diameters (15mm and 20mm) are produced to a specific drilling and lathing grade, making them suitable for precision machining, CNC work, and the manufacture of custom mechanical components.
• Industrial Design: Used for creating lightweight skeletal frames and structural supports in early-stage ergonomic studies and volumetric mock-ups.

Key Features:

• High-Chrome Aesthetic: Finer rods feature a mirror-like finish, providing a premium look for high-fidelity models without the need for additional plating.
• Lightweight & Rigid: Offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring structural stability while adding minimal mass to complex assemblies.
• Machining Grade (Large Diameters): Specifically suitable for technical processing, including drilling, milling, and lathing.
• Easy Workability: Can be cut with a precision circular saw or metal hacksaw. Thin diameters can be easily trimmed using professional side-cutting pliers.
• Reliable Bonding: While aluminium cannot be soldered with standard equipment, these rods are highly receptive to two-component adhesives (Epoxy), Cyanoacrylates (Superglue), and specialised plastic glues like Ruderer L530 or UHU Hart.
