The highest strength aluminium alloy sheets are heat treated and then quickly cooled to room temperature. They are then stretched in order to straighten and relieve any internal stress that may have built up during the rolling and heat-treating.
The aluminum hot rolled plates are then either aged naturally at room temperature or artificially aged in a furnace to achieve the right combination of corrosion resistance and strength. The plate is then trimmed to its required size.
Aluminum Plate panel system is an economical plate panel systems. The corners are welded and ground smooth and the panels are reinforced with stiffeners as required by design loads to meet deflection criteria and eliminate oil canning.
When it's machined to shape, aluminum plate forms the skins of jets and spacecraft fuel tanks. It is also used to manufacture structural sections for railcars and ships, as well as armor for military vehicles.
Types of aluminium sheet plate cut to size :
Product | Purity | Properties | Tensile Str (psi) | Uses | _____ |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
3003 (UNS A93003) | Alloyed with 1.2% manganese | Excellent workability, weldability and corrosion resistance | 17,000 – 30,000 | Drawing, spinning, fuel tanks, sheet metal work and other applications where slightly higher strength than 1100 is required. | |
5052 (UNS A95052) | Alloyed with 2.5% magnesium | Very good corrosion resistance, good workability, weldability and strength | 31,000 – 44,000 | Aircraft fuel tanks, storm shutters, refrigerator liners, utensils, electronic mounting plates and panels, fan blades. | |
6061 (UNS A96061) | Alloyed with 1.2% magnesium | Precipitation hardened, good weldability and corrosion resistence | 42,000 – min. | Aircraft structures, yacht construction, automotive parts, cans food/beverage |
6061 aluminum plate is a harder, more machinable aluminum, used in the production of canoes, bus and truck bodies, sailboats, transmission towers, scaffolding, mine skips and furniture, among others.
3003 aluminum plate is a softer, more formable aluminum, offering good weldability and corrosion resistance at a competitive price. It is often used in cooking utensils, ductwork, gasoline tanks, heat exchangers and general sheet metal work.
All our aluminum plate products are shipped with mill test reports and stenciled accordingly before being carefully packaged to minimize the chance of any damage occurring during transportation.Looking forward to have a cooperation wtih you(Email:sarah@aluminium24.eu).
