About Aluminium / Silver Rods
Aluminium rods are solid round bars used where a part needs to be light, easy to machine and resistant to corrosion. They are turned into spacers, bushes, knobs, pins, rollers and fixture parts, and cut into blanks for fabrication.
At roughly a third of the weight of brass or copper for the same size, aluminium keeps finished products and frames light, which also helps with handling and transport.
