Aluminium Sheet

Aluminium Sheet

Sheet, thickness range from 1mm to 6mm ;the most widely used form of aluminum, is found in all of the aluminum industry’s major markets. In packaging, sheet is used to manufacture cans and packages. In transportation, aluminum sheet is used to manufacture panels for automobile bodies and tractor trailers. Sheet is used in home appliances and cookware. In building and construction, it is formed into products including siding, gutters, roofing, awnings and carports. Sheet aluminum can be color-anodized to black, gold, red, blue and hundreds of other colors. It can be etched to a matte finish, polished to a sparkling brightness or textured to resemble wood and painted.

1000's - Aluminum 99% min. - excellent corrosion resistance, high thermal and electrical conductivity, low mechanical properties

2000's - Copper - high mechanical properties, increased yield strength, best known and most widely used aircraft alloy

3000's - Manganese - good workability and weldability, high corrosion resistance, moderate strength

4000's - Silicon - low melting point, widely used in welding wire and as a brazing alloy 5000's - Magnesium - moderate to high strength, good welding characteristics, good resistance to corrosion, especially in marine environments

6000's - Magnesium/Silicon - good formability and corrosion resistance, moderate strength

7000's - Zinc - highest strength alloy available, used in air-frame structures and for highly stressed parts

8000's - Other element

Tips for Buying Aluminum Sheet Metal from aluminum plain sheet supplier

Hardness of aluminium sheet material: the hardness of aluminium sheet material is the main consideration of many buyers, and different aluminum sheet grades hardness is directly related to the aluminium sheet metal properties of the alloy. Secondly, the state is different, the impact is also relatively great.

Corrosion resistance: corrosion resistance includes chemical corrosion resistance and stress corrosion resistance. The selection criterion of aluminium sheet material corrosion resistance should be determined according to the application site. When high strength alloy is used in corrosive environment, it needs to be anticorrosive in various ways.

Machinability of aluminium flat sheet: machinability, formability and cutting performance of inserts. In general, high-strength aluminium sheet metal is not easy to shape. On the contrary, it should be bending, drawing and deep drawing aluminium sheet material. The formability of annealing treatment is the best, while that of heat treatment is the worst. The machinability of aluminium plain sheet is poor, and moulds and mechanical parts require better machinability.

Solderability: most aluminium sheet material have no problem with weldability, but different aluminum sheet metal manufacturers may produce aluminium sheet material that is specially designed for welding and difficult to weld.

Decorative: when aluminum sheet types is used for decoration or some special places, it is necessary to stop anodizing and coating the surface of alu sheet in order to obtain the corresponding color and texture. Aluminum sheet plate with good corrosion resistance has excellent anodic treatment performance, appearance treatment performance and coating performance.
