As of early 2026, the price of aluminium in Malaysia varies based on the alloy grade, form (sheet, extrusion, ingot), and market fluctuations. General pricing for industrial-grade aluminum ranges from RM 15 to RM 45 per kg, with specialized alloys and fabrication services costing more.
Aluminium Price Per Kg (Malaysia 2026 Estimates)
- Basic Aluminium Extrusions/Profiles: RM 15 – RM 25 per kg.
- Anodized Aluminium: RM 20 – RM 35 per kg.
- Custom Fabricated Parts: RM 25 – RM 45 per kg (includes cutting/drilling).
- High-Strength Alloys (e.g., 7075, 5083, 6061): RM 30 – RM 50 per kg.
- Aluminium Sheet (1mm-3mm): Approximately RM 40 – RM 70 per square meter, with bulk sheets often sold based on weight (approx. RM 17–RM 20 per kg for standard 1100-H14 grade).
- Scrap Aluminium: RM 5 – RM 10.50 per kg (depending on purity).
Fabrication Services in Malaysia
Fabrication costs in Malaysia typically include cutting, bending, welding, and surface treatment.
- Fabrication & Finishing: Custom cutting, drilling, and tapping generally add to the base material cost, often elevating the price up to RM 45 per kg for finished parts.
- Common Fabrication Processes: Welding, machining, and powder coating are common, especially for construction, transport, and manufacturing applications.
- Standard Thicknesses: 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, and 4mm sheets are commonly used in industrial and construction projects.
Factors Influencing Prices
- Alloy Series: 6000 series (6061, 6063) is standard for structural applications, while 5000 series (5052) is used for marine environments.
- Market Trends: Prices are influenced by global market trends (e.g., LME prices) and local, rising demand in Malaysia.
- Weight vs. Size: While the above estimates focus on price per kg, sheets are often priced per square meter or by standard sheet weight (e.g., 24kg for a standard 3mm x 4′ x 8′ sheet).
Note: The prices above are estimates based on available 2025-2026 data and can change rapidly due to international market fluctuations.
