If you have ever needed a small piece of aluminum for a project, then you likely know how frustrating it can be to purchase. Many aluminum distributors have hefty minimum purchase requirements, sawing charges, and not to mention lead times. In addition, many metals distributors inventory many different metals, cataloging only a small selection in each alloy. This can be problematic from both a price and availability standpoint while searching for a small piece of aluminum. Howard Precision Metals, a 100% aluminum distribution and service center, has the perfect solution: the random rack.
Polished aluminum sheet and mirror finish anodized aluminum sheet represent two typical types of aluminum mirror sheets in the market.
Aluminum mirror sheet has many different types. According to low to high grades, it includes film mirror aluminum, domestic polished mirror aluminum, imported polished mirror aluminum, imported oxide mirror aluminum, and super-mirror aluminum. According to your product features and positioning to choose the right for your reflector, if you want to do high-end products, then use the imported mirror, low-end, then choose domestic. Domestically made mirror is characterized by no protection of the surface treatment, mirror aluminum will change over time, the price is cheap; imported products are characterized by a stable reflectance, 86% of the ordinary mirror and 95% of the super-mirror two grades, the price to a little more expensive.
The 6000 series aluminum sheet is Al-Mg-Si alloy, and its representative grades are 6061, 6063 and 6082. Different from the other 7000 series aluminum sheet, the main state of 6000 series aluminum sheet is the T state, and the most is the T5 and T6 in the state of two. What is the difference between T5 and T6?
Aluminum alloy material is the best material for the production of liquefied natural gas storage tank, not only it has ultra low temperature structural material, but also because of its easy processing forming, and has good weldability, recovery rate of up to 95%.
6063 aluminum sheet is a typical representative of Al-Mg-Si alloy aluminum sheet. 6063 aluminum alloy is representative of the extruded aluminum alloy sheet, the strength is lower than the 6061 aluminum alloy, extrusion is good, and is a low alloy Al-Mg-Si high plasticity alloy. There are many excellent characteristics of the 6063 aluminum sheet:
he main alloying element of 5052 oxide aluminum sheet is magnesium, which has good forming performance, corrosion resistance, good weldability and medium strength. The alloy has high strength, especially anti fatigue strength, high plasticity and corrosion resistance, and can not be strengthened by heat treatment. In semi cold hardening, the plasticity is good, and the plastic is low when cold working hardening. It has good corrosion resistance and good weldability. Most of the states are: H22, H32, H34, H36, H38, 0 state, etc.. 5052 aluminum oxidation products are mainly used in notebook case, keyboard, camera case, tablet computer, circuit board, LED board, sheet metal, tubing, and aircraft fuel tank for vehicle and vessel, instrument, hardware, electrical appliances and other fields
At present, in the construction industry, more and more applications of color aluminum sheet in roof and mobile foam board, most people have heard of color aluminum tiles and asbestos tile, tile color is actually color aluminum sheet after surface treatment, pressure type, as roofing material as everyone knows. According to the needs of different customers, you can choose the appropriate color of the high strength of the aluminum sheet. Color aluminum sheet is a metal material, and the probation period is long. By contrast, after used for a long time, color steel tile almost had no recycling value, and through promoting the development and market of color aluminum tile color made of aluminum has received the favor of the market.
3004 aluminum sheet belongs to Al-Mn series alloy, is a kind of rust-proof aluminum sheet with a wide range of application. 3004 aluminum sheet has a low intensity(higher than pure aluminum), can not be strength by heat treatment, but its mechanical properties able to improved by cold processing technique. 3004 aluminum sheet has a good corrosion resistance, a good weldability but a poor cutting property, it has a high plasticity in annealed condition, and has a low plasticity in cold-work hardening. 3004 aluminum sheet is usually used in the low-load spare parts that work in liquid or gaseous media, and has the requirements of a high plasticity, good weldability, such as the mailbox, petrol or lube ducts, various liquid containers and other small load parts.
