Classification of aluminum sheet

2023-12-25

Aluminu sheet is a rectangular plate made by rolling aluminum ingots

Aluminum sheet is aluminum materials with a thickness of more than 0.2mm and less than 500mm, a width of more than 200mm, and a length of less than 16m, called aluminum plates or aluminum sheets, less than 0.2mm are aluminum materials, and widths less than 200mm are called rows or strips (of course With the advancement of large-scale equipment, there are more aluminum plates with a maximum width of 600mm).  


Aluminum sheet is usually divided into the following two types:

1. According to alloy composition, it is divided into:

High-purity aluminum plate (rolled from high-purity aluminum with a content of more than 99.9)

Pure aluminum plate (components are basically rolled from pure aluminum)

Alloy aluminum plate (composed of aluminum and auxiliary alloys, usually aluminum-copper, aluminum-manganese, aluminum-silicon, aluminum-magnesium, etc.)

Composite aluminum plate or welded plate (special-purpose aluminum plate material is obtained by combining multiple materials)

Aluminum-coated aluminum plate (aluminum plate covered with thin aluminum plate for special purposes)

2. Divided according to thickness: (unit: mm)

Aluminum sheet 0.15-2.0

Conventional board (aluminum sheet) 2.0-6.0

Aluminum plate 6.0-25.0

Thick plate (aluminum plate) 25-200 Extra thick plate 200 or more



Application of aluminum sheet

1. Lighting decorations

2. Solar reflective sheets

3. Building appearance

4. Interior decoration: ceilings, walls, etc.

5. Furniture, cabinets

6. Elevators

7. Signs, nameplates, bags

8. Car interior and exterior decoration

9. Interior decorations: such as Photo frame

10. Household appliances: refrigerators, microwave ovens, audio equipment, etc.

11. Aerospace and military aspects, such as China's large aircraft manufacturing, Shenzhou spacecraft series, satellites, etc.

12. Mechanical parts processing

13. Mold manufacturing

14. Chemical/insulation pipe coating.

15. High-quality ship plates



Classification of Aluminum sheet

In aluminum alloys, grades are representative. The following is an example of the grade of 7075T651 aluminum plate. The first 7 represents the aluminum and aluminum alloy group-aluminum zinc magnesium alloy. The aluminum and aluminum alloy group is divided into nine categories. Among them, 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 series aluminum and aluminum alloys are the main ones, and other series are less likely to be used in actual use.

Category 1: Series 1: Industrial pure aluminum

Category 2: 2 series: aluminum-copper alloy

Category 3: 3 series: aluminum-manganese alloy

Category 4: 4 series: aluminum-silicon alloy

Category 5: 5 series: aluminum-magnesium alloy

Category 6: 6 series: aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy

Category 7: 7 Series: Aluminum, zinc, magnesium and copper alloys

Category 8: 8 series: other alloys

Category 9: 9 Series: Spare Alloys


Chemical composition and properties

Aluminum Al: balance; silicon Si: 0.25; copper Cu: 0.10; magnesium Mg: 2.2~2.8; zinc Zn: 0.10; manganese Mn: 0.10; chromium Cr: 0.15~0.35; iron Fe: 0.40.

Tensile strength (σb): 170~305MPa

Conditional yield strength σ0.2 (MPa)≥65

Elastic modulus (E): 69.3~70.7Gpa

Annealing temperature is: 345℃.
