Thickness and Measurement

The new aluminum plate is available in a range of thicknesses, suited to diverse applications, from thin sheets for decorative trim to thicker plates for industrial applications. Thickness is measured in inches, providing options for projects requiring medium strength or heavy-duty support. Whether it’s for bridge railing components or fuel tanks, the exact specifications of an aluminum plate ensure versatility across applications.

Customization Capabilities

Aluminum plates can be custom-cut to specific sizes or shapes, catering to unique project needs. Whether it’s for precise shapes in transportation equipment or standard cuts for trailer siding, aluminum plates offer good weldability and can be tailored to fit exact requirements, with some limitations based on thickness and design complexity.

Grades and Properties

Manufacturing aluminum plates involves various grades of aluminum alloys, such as 6061 aluminum plate, known for its heat treatable properties and good corrosion resistance. Grades like 6061 T651 are favored for applications requiring high strength, good machinability, and resistance to corrosion, including marine hardware and saltwater applications. The choice of grade affects not only the plate’s strength but also its suitability for certain environments, with some alloys designed specifically for resistance to precipitation hardening and cracking.

Weight Comparison

Compared to steel or other metal plates of similar size and thickness, an aluminum plate is significantly lighter. This lightweight quality makes aluminum ideal for applications like bicycle frames and boat hulls, where reducing overall weight without sacrificing strength is crucial. Despite its lighter weight, aluminum still offers comparable durability and resistance, making it a preferred material for a wide range of applications.
