How Aluminum Plates and Sheets are Made Posted by: lolitahe69 - 12-08-2021, 09:41 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - No Replies A lot of products use aluminum, and a lot of items on this site use aluminum plates. Ever wonder how aluminum plates are manufactured? Ever ask yourself how the plates you are using for your business first came about? The journey for aluminum plates and sheets start with the mining of the mineral used to create this metal. Bauxite, which is the raw material where aluminum comes from, is in clay-like type soil. This is usually found only a few meters underneath the ground and is most abundant around the equator. Once the bauxite is mined, it is washed off of any clay sticking to it then ground up and prepared for the extraction of aluminum oxide, or alumina. In order to extract the alumina from the crushed bauxite, a process that involves a mixture of hot caustic soda and lime is used. The result of the heating of the crushed bauxite and the purification of the resulting crystals is the alumina needed for the creation of aluminum metal. The next step in this process is the creation of the aluminum metal. This is done with the help of carbon and electricity. In a process called electrolysis, using negative and positive cathodes made of carbon, the alumina is then converted to a liquid state with the creation of CO2. This liquid aluminum is then poured into different forms that produce sheet ingots or slabs, which are then used to create aluminum plates and sheets. In the production of aluminum plates, the sheet ingots or slabs are first smoothed for these to get that mirror-like shine that aluminum is known for. These are then rolled through a rolling machine after being heated to 400ºC and this comes out as a thin sheet of metal. This process is called hot rolling. The sheets produced here are rolled into coils in preparation for the next stage. The next stage for these aluminum sheets is called cold rolling. This is where these sheets are flattened into different thicknesses to suit the many applications these are to be used for and to suit the needs of various clients. These are also stored in rolls, just like the rolls that were produced after hot rolling. These rolls undergo different finishing processes where different types of aluminum are produced. This is where annealing, surface treatments and many more are done. Before these are shipped out to the respective companies that ordered them, inspection is conducted to ensure that these aluminum plates and sheets are of the right quality.   Top five Aluminium Composite Panel manufacturers in the world Posted by: Keganhirl - 12-08-2021, 07:53 AM - Forum: Companies - No Replies Aluminium composite panel (ACP) is a flat panel crafted out of two aluminium alloy sheets bonded with a non-aluminium core so as to form a composite.  ACP is frequently used for cladding or as facade material of buildings, insulation, and signage.

ALUCOBOND’s ACP consists of two sheets of smooth .02" aluminium thermos bonded to a polyethylene core in a continuous process.   [b]Jyi Shyang[/b] Jyi Shyang Industrial is a Taiwan based company founded in 1966. The company is a manufacturer and supplier of aluminium composite panel, aluminium composite material, metal composite material, sandwiched panel, cladding material,wall cladding and architectural material. ALUCOMAT is a registered brand of Jyi Shyang Industrial Co. who is also a provider of total architectural cladding solution. ALUCOMAT is the Asia's first Aluminium Composite panels manufacturer. ALUCOMAT has achieved the 3rd position in the global ACP market, the company claims. The brand is capable of providing products of multi-metallic composite solutions for modern exterior cladding, interior decoration, advertising signage, and transportation projects worldwide. [b]Alstrong[/b] Alstrong is the leading producer of aluminium composite panels in India and was established in 2001. Currently, the company produces aluminium panels of about 50 million sq. ft. per annum through 5 ACP lines. Alstrong uses Korean and Japanese technology to create panel products. The company’s state-of-the-art FR grade aluminium composite panels have fire resistance capabilities. [b]Arconic[/b] Arconic offers breakthrough products to aerospace, automotive, building and construction and commercial transportation sectors. Arconic has a business unit- [b]Arconic Architectural Products[/b] (AAP) that manufactures and sells composite material products to the aerospace, automotive and other industrial markets. AAP has two manufacturing facilities located in Eastman, Georgia, USA, and Merxheim, France. The company’s “Reynobond” brand manufactures aluminium composite materials that offer range of products for architectural and construction uses. Apart from the above mentioned aluminium composite panel manufacturers, there are several key players including Mitsubishi Plastic, CCJX, Goodsense, Seven, HuaYuan, HuaYuan, LiTai, Pivot, Vbang, Walltes, Daou, Genify, Shuangou and HongTai more https://www.alcircle.com/news/top-five-a...orld-27392   How strong is Aluminium composite panel? Posted by: Keganhirl - 12-08-2021, 07:52 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - No Replies Aluminium composite panels are extremely durable and can last up to 30 years.   What is Aluminium composite panealuminium composite panels (ACP), made of l used for? Posted by: lolitahe69 - 12-08-2021, 07:50 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - No Replies aluminium composite panels (ACP), made of aluminium composite material (ACM), are flat panels consisting of two thin coil-coated aluminium sheets bonded to a non-aluminium core. ACPs are frequently used for external cladding or facades of buildings, insulation, and signage.   What is the molar mass of aluminum? Posted by: lolitahe69 - 12-08-2021, 07:27 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - No Replies You want the value? 26.98 or do you want to know what it is? It is the average mass of all atoms of Al in their normal isotope ratio, and it is the mass of 6.23 x 10^23 atoms on the scale where an atom of carbon-12 isotope is taken as 12.000000000. This is very very easy to find in google!   Types of aluminum Profiles Posted by: lolitahe69 - 12-08-2021, 07:24 AM - Forum: Knowledge & Technique - No Replies A wide variety of intricate aluminum extrusion profile types can be created at varying thicknesses. These profiles can feature a wide variety of intricate void spaces, as necessitated by the end use application.  A wide range of internal voids are available in order to facilitate a wide variety of automation applications and also satisfy any performance weight requirements. The most common type of aluminum profile is the hollow beam profile which is simply a variation of the square profile. There are also other profile types such as the triangular, single radius, and L-shaped profile.   What is the molar mass of aluminum hydroxide?

Both of these facts mean that the aluminum extrusion process has a relatively low energy footprint translating into low tooling and manufacturing costs. Finally, aluminum also possesses a high strength to weight ratio, making it an excellent choice for industrial applications.   What is an Aluminium profile? Posted by: askaluadmin - 12-08-2021, 07:14 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - Replies (1) Aluminum profile refers to aluminum alloy profile. Aluminium construction profiles are used wherever you build machine frames, workstations, shelves or guardings. Sturdy and flexible aluminium system profiles are also used for test set-ups, exhibit construction and load-bearing structures. First Previous Next Last
