Aluminum plates usually refer to pure aluminum plates, which are pressed from aluminum ingots. They are rectangular in shape and have a thickness between 0.2mm and 500mm. They can be classified according to alloy composition and thickness.
According to the alloy composition, it can be divided into pure aluminum plate (made of pure aluminum), alloy aluminum plate (aluminum plate is made of aluminum as the main component, and other alloy elements are added), and composite aluminum plate (composited of multiple materials for special purposes). ); According to thickness, it can be divided into three types: thin plate (thickness 0.15mm-2.0mm), conventional plate (thickness 2.0mm-6.0mm), medium plate (6.0mm-25.0mm), thick plate (25.0mm-200mm), Extra thick plate (above 200mm).
Aluminum plates of different thicknesses are used in different fields. Thin plates can be used for lighting fixtures, household appliances such as refrigerators or microwave ovens, elevators, and automobile decorative parts; thick plates can be used for aerospace aircraft, military supplies, ship decks, etc.
Aluminum alloy plate is an aluminum alloy profile material made by adding various alloy elements to aluminum, such as magnesium, copper, chromium, silicon, zinc, etc. through extrusion, aging, etc., and is used in various industries. field.
The thickness of aluminum alloy plate is more than 2mm, which is also a kind of aluminum plate. It can be divided into many different series. Different series have different alloy compositions and different uses. Aluminum alloy plates can be divided into 7 series, namely 1 series pure aluminum plate; 2 series aluminum-copper alloy plate; 3 series aluminum-manganese alloy plate; 4 series aluminum-silicon alloy plate; 5 series aluminum-magnesium alloy plate; 6 series aluminum-magnesium silicon Alloy plate; 7 series aluminum magnesium zinc copper alloy.
Each series of aluminum alloy plates has different uses. For example, the 6 series aluminum alloy plates are alloy plates represented by 6063-T5, which have a wide range of applications and good flexibility. It can be used to make various assembly line frames, workbenches, equipment covers, chassis cabinets, etc.
Pure aluminum plate has low density and low melting point (660℃). Aluminum has a face-centered cubic structure and has high plasticity. It is easy to process and can be made into various profiles and plates. Pure aluminum has good corrosion resistance but very low strength and can be annealed and heat treated. Aluminum alloy plates have low density, but high strength, close to or higher than high-quality steel. They have good plasticity and can be processed into various profiles. They have excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. They are widely used in industry, second only to steel. . Aluminum alloy plates have a longer service life than pure aluminum plates.
