Aluminium Sheet & Aluminium Plate
The aluminium sheet also known as aluminium plate, are raw forms of aluminium made into sheet form. Often aluminium sheeting has a 0.2mm to 6.5 mm gauge thickness, above this gauge would be classed as an aluminium plate. The versatile metal sheet can be found in a variety of industries and applications due to its properties making it very durable. Aluminium sheets that are filled with composition are suitable for fascia panels and cladding. They are easy to cut, drill and shape and can have a smooth coating too.
What types of aluminium sheets are there?
1050A is a moderate-strength alloy and is typically used in electrical and chemical industries based on its corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity. It can be formed easily and welded, it comes supplied in metal sheet and aluminium rolled circle form. Applications include industrial engineering, building and construction and transport.
6082 Aluminium sheets are medium/high strength alloy heat resistant material. Welded or machine formed with good corrosion resistance and can be easily anodised. Suitable in structural work applications.
Perforated aluminium sheet 500 mm x 500mm available in 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm and 1.2mm thickness. Presenting different hole patterns, hole diameters and spacing. Ideal for air movement, and filtering foods/liquids applications.
