Hi-Form™ Sheet
FOR DIFFICULT FORMING APPLICATIONS
(2XXX, 6XXX, 7XXX)
2024-0 7075-0 6061-0
Kaiser Aluminum supplies Hi-Form™ 2xxx,
6xxx, and 7xxx sheet and coil products for
applications that involve difficult forming
operations. Hi-Form™ sheet not only has
superior bending, forming, and drawing
characteristics, it also has inherent fine grain
structure that results in a smoother finish.
These improved characteristics result in
smoother surface and less surface tearing.
