Aluminum


Pennsylvania Steel has been a leader in the Philadelphia Pa. region in Cold finished bar. In 1997, we acquired Lucas Metals in York, Pa where they mainly stocked Aluminum and Stainless Steel. The acquisition brought a new life to Pennsylvania Steel, expanding our inventory to over 350 tons of Aluminum. We now stock 6061 plate and Tool and Jig plate through 6" thick, along with the full range of structurals, and bar sizes. All bar stock is also offered cut to size.
