A-Alpha stocks aluminum waveguide flange stock in sizes from WR22 to WR137 and double-ridged sizes WRD180, 475, 580, 650 and 750. This 6063 extruded aluminum material precludes the need to broche corners in the windows of aluminum bar stock to manufacture flanges. The waveguide window is centered within 0.002 of the outside dimensions, and is within 0.002 of the selected waveguide opening. Aluminum flange stock compliments other waveguide products in stock at A-Alpha, including aluminum, copper, bronze, invar, stainless steel and coin silver waveguide tube, and aluminum and bronze cast bends. A-Alpha offers “same day” shipping for all items in stock.
