The aluminum bars and rods from Sadiki Metals are primarily made from high-purity aluminum (Al ≥ 99%), enhanced with alloying elements like magnesium, silicon, copper, and manganese to boost strength and machinability. These alloys are known for their excellent corrosion resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, and outstanding formability. Mechanical properties include a tensile strength range of 90–300 MPa, yield strength of 50–250 MPa, and an elongation of 8–25%, depending on the specific grade and temper. These features make the aluminum bars and rods perfect for applications that require lightweight yet strong and durable materials.

Yes, aluminum bars are corrosion-resistant due to the formation of a natural oxide layer on the surface, which protects them from rust and deterioration, especially in various environmental conditions.
Yes, aluminum rods can be customized in size and length according to specific requirements. Manufacturers can cut, shape, and tailor the rods to meet precise specifications for various applications.
Aluminium bars perform poorly in high-temperature environments, as they lose strength and can soften at temperatures above 150-200°C. They are prone to oxidation and are unsuitable for extreme heat applications.
Sadiki Metals’ aluminum bars and rods find their way into various sectors thanks to their versatility and performance. In the construction industry, they’re used in structural frameworks, window frames, and façade systems. In the automotive and aerospace fields, they help create lightweight components that enhance fuel efficiency. The electrical and engineering sectors rely on aluminum rods for conductors, busbars, and connectors due to their excellent conductivity. Additionally, they play a role in machinery, marine, and transportation equipment, providing precision parts and fittings. Their corrosion resistance and easy machinability ensure they perform reliably in demanding environments.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
Sadiki Metals is a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of high-quality bars, rods, and forgings, catering to various industries in Kinshasa, Congo
