Aluminum in Medical Technology GLEICH's Role in...

When working with aluminum alloys—especially in tooling, mold making, or aerospace applications—knowing the alloy’s temper is just as important as knowing its composition.

Working with aluminum can be challenging—especially when it comes to classifying wrought aluminum alloys for semi-finished products like rolled plates, bars, and profiles.

Cleanrooms are essential to manufacturing vital products across the world. To meet rigorous safety standards, we’ve created G.AL Aluminum…

The ultimate guide to storing aluminum the right way. Preventing expensive damage when storing indoors or outdoors.

Weighing the costs and benefits of different aluminum options in manufacturing.
Incorrect selection can result in either purchasing expensive material with properties that aren’t needed, or material that isn’t up to the task.
Choosing the right one can seem daunting- but we’re here to help.

Having trouble deciding what material to use for tools and jigs?

We’re here to help!

Our expert guide to tool and jig plates compares the pros and cons of cast and rolled plates. We explain uses and advantages so you can choose material with confidence.

GLEICH Aluminium is one of the few manufacturers of aluminum cast plates with an in-house heat treatment facility.

But what actually happens during the heat treatment process and why it is necessary?

Aluminum has many advantages, but one common misconception is that because it doesn’t rust, this means it doesn’t degrade.

While aluminum might not rust the same way iron or steel does, it can corrode under certain conditions.
