What Do You Like to Know Aluminum Alloys

1. What Do You Like to Know Aluminum Alloys Abstract: The commonly used aluminum alloys are aluminum sheet, color coated aluminum coil, marine aluminum sheet, aluminum tanker plate,etc. You may wonder what is the standard aluminum sheet thickness and what are the gutter coil colors. Find answer in this page. What Is Standard Aluminum Sheet Thickness The Aluminum industry usually uses mm as the thickness measurement unit. The standard aluminium plate thickness is 1-8 mm. The thickness range of the aluminum plate is directly linked to its price. The price of standard aluminum sheet is the most reasonable. Among the aluminum sheet thicknesses, 5mm aluminum sheet is often inquired by our customers. What are the main alloys of 5mm aluminum sheets? 1050 aluminum sheet thickness is generally between 0.5-10mm. 1050 aluminum plate is mainly used for sheet metal processing parts, and the amount of ultra-thick 1050 aluminum plate is very small. 1050 aluminum mirror finish sheet is a typical product. 1050 aluminum sheet is of high

2. plasticity, corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. The aluminum tread plate is to press the aluminum sheet on the pattered roller to get a clear pattern that is convex. Its main purpose is for anti-skid and decoration. The main patterns are orange peel, one bar, two bar, three bar, and five bar. Marine aluminum plate generally refers to aluminum-magnesium alloy. At present, the commonly used material of marine aluminum plate is 5083 aluminum plate, including 5083-h116 and 5083-h321. Haomei marine grade aluminum sheets has various thicknesses, widths and lengths. The common thickness of marine aluminum plate is 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm. The main alloying elements of 6061 aluminum plate are magnesium and silicon, which have medium strength, good corrosion resistance and good oxidation effect. 6061 aluminum plate is widely used in automatic mechanical parts, precision machining, and various mold manufacturing. 3003 aluminum plate is used for processing parts that require good formability, high corrosion resistance and good weldability, or work that requires both these properties and higher strength than 1000 aluminum.

There are 30 gutter coil colors available to accent any home's exterior like white, red, black, blue, wood grain,etc. It is also known for its relatively low density and strength. The aluminum gutter coil chooses 1000 and 3000 aluminum coils as the main material. After the plain aluminum coil is cleaned, chromed, rolled, baked, etc., the surface of the aluminum coil is coated with various colors. The coating types are PE and PVDF. The main aluminum alloys are 1050, 1060, 3003, 3004, 3105, 5005, etc. Because they can withstand extreme natural environments such as outdoor ultraviolet radiation, wind and rain,

4. and at the same time do not fade and bend, so they are used in architectural decoration design and outdoor decoration design. Compared with PE coated gutter coil, PVDF coated aluminum coil has the advantage of long service life. Generally, the service life of fluorocarbon-coated (PVDF)aluminum coil and aluminum plate can reach more than 20 years, while the service life of polyester color-coated (PE)aluminum coil is usually 10 years. There are many different types of aluminum gutter coils and different types have different performances in some characteristics due to different types of substrates, and are suitable for different applications because of different characteristics. Therefore, it is required that you need to make a choice according to the specific use, application environment, pressure bearing need. Haomei Aluminum’s paints for the aluminum gutter coil are mainly from the American PPG brand and the Swedish Becker brand. The color aluminum coating line is specially designed and introduced for color aluminum coating, which is more stable and accurate than the roller coating line modified from the color steel line. Nearly 5,000 tons of bare aluminum coil inventory and perfect supporting facilities such as longitudinal shearing (slitting), wave shearing, horizontal shearing, embossing, wire drawing, etc., allow Haomei Aluminum realize short delivery with best quality. 5454 Grade Aluminum Sheet for Tank Truck Aluminum alloy tankers first appeared in the United States in the late 1920s. In the beginning, there were only aluminum alloy single tankers. In the 1940s, aluminum alloy semi-trailers appeared. In the 1960s, the tank shape of aluminum alloy tankers was more reasonable. In the

5. 1970s, due to the oil crisis and other reasons, aluminum alloy tankers received rapid development. Aluminum alloy tanker has the characteristics of light weight, larger load, lower operating cost, good corrosion resistance, good wear resistance, long service life, good electrical conductivity, safety, environmental protection and energy saving. Therefore, the popularity of aluminum tank trucks has far-reaching economic and social benefits. 5000 series Al-Mg sheet is mainly used in cylinders, heads and bulkhead of tank trucks after welding, wrapping or rolling. 5454 grade aluminum can adapt to harsh corrosive environment. It is a typical anti-rust aluminum with high strength, about 20% higher than 5052 aluminum plate. 5454 aluminum plate has all states such as O state, H12, H14, etc. In terms of performance, it is not only high in strength and corrosion resistance, but also has good plasticity and good formability. The production of tank car body has high requirements on this raw material and processing technology such as good corrosion resistance and high processing performance,strong pressure resistance, etc. 5454 aluminum can satisfy these requirements and can be bent, stamped and stretched. More importantly, it can be used in high temperature environment, or transport high temperature liquid. The solid solubility of Mg in Al is second only to that of Zn, with a limit solubility of 17.4% at

6. 470 °C and only about 1% at room temperature. In theory, Al-Mg alloy should have strong age hardening effect, but due to the limitation of intergranular precipitation and dispersion of solid β phase (Al3Mg2), this hardening effect has no practical value, so 5454 alloy cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. 6016 T6 Aluminum Sheet for Boat In the field of ships, the application of aluminum alloys on ships is gradually expanding. So far, 5000 and 6000 aluminum alloys are used for ship hull and ship construction respectively. They include 5083, 5086, 5052, 5383, 5454, 5456, 5754, 6063 and 6061 sheet metal. In August 1931, the United Kingdom built the "Diaina" all-aluminum yacht, and the material was Al-Si alloy. The UK built the all-welded hovercraft AP188 in the 1980s. The shell was made of aluminum alloy 50o83 and the profiles were made of aluminum alloy 6082. The United States used aluminum alloy to build the "LARC-15" landing craft with 5086 as the main material, while some welded structures used 5083 and 6061. Since intergranular corrosion occurs in seawater, Al-Mg-Si alloys are mainly used for the superstructure of ships. Japan uses 6N01-T5 aluminum alloy in the superstructure of ships, while the United States uses 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. 6061 aluminum sheet belongs to 6 series alloy, and the alloying elements are magnesium and silicon. 6061 aluminum plate has medium strength, good corrosion resistance and good oxidation effect. It is often used in some industrial structural parts with high corrosion resistance and

7. certain strength, such as trucks, tower buildings, ships, trams, rail transit, etc. Its common tempers are 6061-t6, 6061-T651, 6061-T652 aluminum plate, T6 is the state of artificial aging after solution heat treatment (quenching) to improve the strength and hardness of the aluminum plate. The hardness of 6061 t6 aluminum plate can reach above 95-100HB in this state. 6061 aluminum tread plate is often used for the deck of ships. Compared with 5052, 5083 and 5754 pattern aluminum plate, its hardness is higher. At the same time, due to the addition of silicon alloy, the wear resistance of this series of aluminum plates is better. Its man patterns are 5 bar and compass, which play an important role in aesthetics, anti-rust and anti-skid.
