Aluminum plate material

Pure aluminum and aluminum alloys
‌The main materials of aluminum plates include pure aluminum and aluminum alloys. ‌Pure aluminum plates are rolled from high-purity aluminum and have high plasticity, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, but have low strength, cannot be strengthened by heat treatment, and have poor cutting properties. Aluminum alloy plates are made by adding various alloy elements such as magnesium, copper, silicon, zinc, etc. to aluminum, and are made through extrusion, aging and other processes. They have different physical and chemical properties and are suitable for various industrial fields. ‌

Classification of aluminum plates
Aluminum plates can be classified according to alloy composition and thickness:

‌By alloy composition‌: pure aluminum plate, alloy aluminum plate (such as 3000 series aluminum-manganese alloy, 5000 series aluminum-magnesium alloy, etc.), composite aluminum plate.
‌By thickness‌: thin plate (0.15-2.0mm), conventional plate (2.0-6.0mm), medium plate (6.0-25.0mm), thick plate (25.0-200mm), and ultra-thick plate (above 200mm).
Uses of aluminum plates
Aluminum plates are widely used in various fields, including but not limited to:

‌Architecture‌: ceilings, wall decorations, furniture, cabinets, etc.
‌Home appliances‌: refrigerators, microwave ovens, audio equipment, etc.
‌Transportation‌: elevators, automotive decorative parts, aerospace aircraft, military products, ship decks, etc.
‌Machinery manufacturing‌: mold manufacturing, chemical insulation pipe coating, etc.
Production process and performance characteristics
The production process of aluminum plates includes extrusion, aging, etc. Different series of aluminum alloy plates have different performance characteristics. For example, 6061 aluminum alloy plate has good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, suitable for high-demand applications; 7075 aluminum alloy plate is a super-hard aluminum alloy, suitable for occasions requiring high strength and wear resistance.
