The topic of aluminium sheet metal properties is very broad, and this article aims to give a brief yet full introduction to properties of aluminium plates in physical and chemical way respectively.
Aluminium metal sheet and profile products are more and more frequently used in car making. These sheet metal aluminium products include plain aluminium sheets, aluminium tread plates, anodized aluminium sheets, color coated aluminum sheet and so on.
With the increasing social demand for energy saving, car manufacturers are in pursuit of lightweight products. Boasting a low density and an excellent tensile strength, aluminium sheet plates become the best candidates, represented by 5052 aluminium sheet and aluminium plate 5083.
Colorful anodized aluminum plate pieces of various alloys are used in cars now. With different specifications and properties, they serve as structures or housing of different parts of a car: body, chassis, skeleton, seats, shell and doors.
6061 aluminium plate sheet is widely used in mold manufacturing. The mold aluminum pate takes up 80% of of mold materials. Not a few molds, like blow molding dies, low pressure dies, rubber dies, are made of aluminum plate 6061. As a result, the 6061 aluminium sheet is also known as the mold aluminum plate.
