Classification and use of aluminum plate

Aluminum plate refers to the aluminum material with a thickness of more than 0.2mm to less than 500mm, a width of more than 200mm, and a length of less than 16m. With the progress of large equipment, there are more aluminum plates that can be as wide as 600mm).

Aluminum plate refers to a rectangular plate processed by rolling aluminum ingots, which is divided into pure aluminum plate, alloy aluminum plate, thin aluminum plate, medium-thick aluminum plate, and patterned aluminum plate.
Aluminum plates are usually divided into the following two types:
1. According to the 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 (the composition is 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 obtained by compounding multiple materials)
Aluminum-clad aluminum plate (aluminum plate is clad with thin aluminum plate for special purpose)
2. Divided by thickness: (unit: mm)
Thin plate (aluminum sheet) 0.15-2.0
Regular plate (aluminum sheet) 2.0-6.0
Medium plate (aluminum plate) 6.0-25.0
Thick plate (aluminum plate) 25-200 super thick plate above 200

The use of aluminum plate:
1. Lighting decorations 2. Solar reflectors 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 board
In the aluminum alloy, the grade is representative. The following is an example based on the grade of 7075T651 aluminum plate. The first 7 represents the group of aluminum and aluminum alloys – aluminum-zinc-magnesium alloys. The aluminum and aluminum alloy groups are divided into nine categories. Among them, series 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 are mainly aluminum and aluminum alloys, and other series are less likely to be used in actual use.
The first category: 1 series: industrial pure aluminum
The second category: 2 series: aluminum copper alloy
The third category: 3 series: aluminum manganese alloy
The fourth category: 4 series: aluminum-silicon alloy
The fifth category: 5 series: aluminum-magnesium alloy
The sixth category: 6 series: aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy
The seventh category: 7 series: Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy
The eighth category: 8 series: other alloys
Ninth category: 9 series: spare alloy
