Custom Aluminum Fabrication
When your application calls for strength without the weight, aluminum fabrication is the answer. At Kammerer Dynamics (KDi), we specialize in custom aluminum fabrication for OEMs across the automotive, aerospace, transportation, and industrial sectors. Our team uses advanced laser cutting, press brake forming, and MIG and TIG welding to turn aluminum sheet metal into precision-built parts and assemblies, ready for production.
Important: KDi does not sell raw aluminum or aluminum sheet metal. We are a full-service aluminum metal fabrication services provider, meaning we use aluminum as a material in our fabrication process to manufacture finished parts and components to your specifications.
Properties of Aluminum Metal
Aluminum is one of the most widely used metals in manufacturing, and for good reason. The properties of aluminum metal make it a top choice for applications where performance, weight, and corrosion resistance all matter.
Aluminum weighs roughly one-third as much as steel, making it the preferred material for aluminum for lightweight components in industries like aerospace and automotive. Despite that reduced weight, aluminum alloys deliver impressive strength-to-weight ratios, particularly in the 6000 and 7000 series commonly used in aluminum parts manufacturing. Aluminum also forms a natural oxide layer that protects against corrosion without additional coatings, and it conducts heat and electricity efficiently.
These combined benefits of aluminum in manufacturing are why it remains a go-to material for engineers and product designers across nearly every sector.
What Is Aluminum Used For?
So what is aluminum used for in a fabrication setting? At KDi, we use aluminum to produce a wide range of OEM aluminum parts and fabricated assemblies for customers in industries that demand tight tolerances and consistent quality.
Common aluminum for industrial applications include brackets, enclosures, frames, panels, guards, and structural supports. In the automotive and transportation industries, aluminum for structural components reduces overall vehicle weight, improving fuel efficiency and payload capacity. Aerospace programs rely on precision aluminum fabrication for housings, mounting systems, and airframe components where every ounce matters.
Whether the project calls for aluminum sheet metal fabrication on a flat panel or complex aluminum welding and fabrication on a multi-piece assembly, our capabilities cover the full scope. From design and engineering through laser cutting, forming, robotic welding, and powder coating, KDi manages the entire production process under one roof.
Aluminum vs Steel — Choosing the Right Material
Aluminum is lighter, naturally corrosion-resistant, and easier to machine, making it ideal for applications where weight savings and environmental exposure are concerns. Steel offers higher tensile strength and is typically more cost-effective for heavy-duty structural projects. At KDi, we fabricate with both materials and can help you determine which one best fits your project.
If your application requires the strength and hardness of steel, explore our carbon steel, hot-rolled steel, galvanized steel, cold-rolled steel, and stainless steel fabrication capabilities. For projects that need the weight and corrosion advantages of aluminum, our team is ready to deliver.
