Custom aluminum blanks
Flat aluminum pieces cut to the shape your press runs: square, rectangular or the geometry on your drawing. They come from coil made at our plant, with the lot's mill test report.
An aluminum blank is a flat piece cut to a defined shape and size, ready to stamp, draw or form. A circle is one kind of blank; this page covers the other shapes.

Why buy them from the mill
Cutting the blank where the coil is made removes a middleman and a layer of scrap: yield is planned from mill width, and the offcuts go back to our furnace.
The coil's mill test report travels with every lot of blanks, so your quality team keeps full traceability.
Applicable quality systems
- IATF 16949 for automotive
- ISO 9001
- Mill test report per lot
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an aluminum blank and a circle?
A circle is a round blank. A blank is any flat piece cut to the shape of the part: square, rectangular or another geometry. Almexa makes both from its own coil.
What do I need to quote aluminum blanks?
The drawing or dimensions of the part, the alloy and temper (or the process that follows), the gauge and the pieces per month. With that, the sales executive confirms tolerances and delivery date.
