<p>
At present, most of the aluminum curtain walls used in China are composite aluminum plates and aluminum alloy veneers. The advantages of composite aluminum sheet are light weight, smooth surface, good smoothness, no color difference in the same direction, and excellent on-site workability. It provides conditions for dealing with the variation of exterior wall size caused by on-site building errors, reducing workshop processing period and shortening installation period.<br><br>
The composite<strong> aluminum sheet plate</strong> should be processed into wallboard when it is installed. Firstly, it should be cut according to the size of the second design. When cutting the board, the size of folding should be considered. Generally, each side should be placed about 30mm.<br>
Galvanized strips are long, narrow strips of cold-rolled or hot-rolled steel with varying degrees of coating called zinc.<br><strong>Aluminium sheet for curtain wall</strong> has a unique texture, rich color and lasting, and the appearance can be diversified, and can be perfectly combined with glass curtain wall materials, stone curtain wall materials. Its perfect appearance, excellent quality, light weight, only one fifth of marble, is one third of the glass curtain wall, greatly reducing the load on the building structure and foundation, and low maintenance costs, high performance price ratio. And aluminum curtain wall is not easy to stain, easy to clean and maintain. The non adhesion of fluorocarbon coatings makes it difficult to attach contaminants to the surface and has better cleanliness.</p>

How do I select <strong>aluminum grade </strong>to use?The following is a short breakdown of the most common grades and their general properties in order to provide you with an understanding of their many uses:<br><strong>Aluminum 1100</strong>: This is commercially pure aluminum, 99% min pure. It is soft, ductile, and has excellent workability which makes it ideal for projects requiring challenging forming operations. It work-hardens slowly, and is not heat-treatable. It has excellent corrosion resistance and weldability, and is most often used in the food processing and chemical industries. Al 1100 is noted for having the highest thermal conductivity of any aluminum, and is also known for its high electrical conductivity.<br><br>
Aluminum 2011: High mechanical strength and easy machinability are the features of this grade. It is the most free-machining aluminum grade, widely used for automatic screw machine products requiring extensive machinework. Fine chips equal faster feeds and long tool life. Its corrosion resistance is good and it may be resistance welded. It machines to an excellent finish.<br>
Aluminum 2024: One of the best known high-strength aluminum alloys, with excellent fatigue resistance. Used in structures and parts where good strength-to-weight properties are desired. Corrosion resistance is relatively low, so 2024 sheet is often clad (Alclad) to improve upon this detail. This alloy can be formed in the annealed condition and then subsequently heat-treated.<br><strong>Aluminum 3003</strong>: The most widely used aluminum alloy. Added manganese increases tensile strength. Used for drawing, spinning, fuel tanks and sheet metal work. This alloy is non-heat treatable, and is corrosion resistant.<br>
Aluminum 5052: This is the highest strength alloy of the non-heat treatable grades. It has good resistance to marine atmosphere and salt water corrosion. With excellent workability it can be easily drawn and formed into intricate shapes.<br><strong>Aluminum 6061</strong>: This is the most versatile of the heat-treatable alloys, sometimes referred to as the "work-horse" alloy. It offers a broad range of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. It can be fabricated with most of the commonly used techniques.<br>
Aluminum 6063: Commonly referred to as the architectural alloy. It was developed as an extrusion alloy with relatively high tensile properties, excellent finishing capabilities, and corrosion resistance. Often used in various exterior and interior architectural applications, such as windows, doors, store fronts, and trim. It is also well-suited for anodizing.<br>
Aluminum 7075: This is one of the highest strength aluminum alloys available. It is ideally used in highly stressed parts. In sheet it is also available as Alclad to improve corrosion resistance. Often used in aerospace applications because of its desirable mechanical properties. May be formed in the annealed condition and then heat-treated.</p>

<p>
What is aluminium foil?<strong>Aluminum foil manufacturers</strong> commonly use pure aluminum. Once the alloy mixture is determined it is melted and poured onto a cast and rolled to form a large sheet of aluminum foil. The rolling process is repeated until the desired thickness is reached. The main factors in reaching the desired thickness is roll pressure, mil speed, and rolling oils. As the aluminum foil is rolled into the desired thickness, it is spooled on large stock coils to hold the aluminum foil<br></p>
<p>
The <strong>aluminium foil factory</strong> from the large aluminum coils the aluminum foil is unspooled, cut, and spooled onto smaller cardboard spools. Once the aluminum foil is spooled onto the smaller spools it is placed into boxes and prepared for shipping. The roll width, length, and thickness determines the amount of boxes per case, and cases per pallet.</p>
<h2>
How to use aluminium foil:</h2>
<p>
Aluminum foil is produced in many widths and strengths for literally hundreds of applications. It is used to manufacture thermal insulation for the construction industry, fin stock for air conditioners, electrical coils for transformers,<strong>aluminium foil in microwave</strong>, capacitors for radios and televisions, insulation for storage tanks, decorative products, and containers and packaging. The popularity of aluminum foil for so many applications is due to several major advantages, one of the foremost being that the raw materials necessary for its manufacture are plentiful.</p>
<p>
Aluminum foil is inexpensive, durable, non-toxic, and greaseproof. In addition, it resists chemical attack and provides excellent electrical and non-magnetic shielding.</p>
<p>
The use of aluminium foil provides a complete barrier to light, oxygen, moisture and bacteria. For this reason, foil is used extensively in food and pharmaceutical packaging. Aluminum foil is also used to make aseptic packaging. This type of packaging enables storage of perishable goods without refrigeration.</p>
<p>
<strong>Anodizing aluminum foil</strong> creates an oxide layer on the aluminum surface that can accept colored dyes or metallic salts. Through this technique, aluminum is used to create inexpensive, brightly colored foils.</p>
<p>
Nowdays aluminum foil is something everyone has in their kitchen, and it has a very long list of uses around the house, garden, and even a campfire.For any of these tips, regular aluminum foil is ideal -- no need for the heavy duty or light variety.</p>

5052 aluminium plate used for aircraft fuel tanks, storm shutters, refrigerator liners and panels, etc.<br>
The <strong>5052 aluminum alloy </strong>has high resistance when placed in conditions that are slightly alkaline. It has better marine resistance than 5005 alloys, which is why it’s frequently used for marine applications. The corrosion resistance of 5052 alloys comes from the protective surface oxide film it has. This has a rapid reaction that occurs when damage is sustained. This reaction is between oxygen and aluminum. However, when repair isn’t possible, the base metal can sustain rapid corrosion. It’s not recommended that this alloy be used with reducing media. To help make the protective film thicker, the alloy can be anodized.<br>
5052 is the highest strength alloy of the more common non heat-treatable grades. Fatigue strength is higher than most aluminum alloys. In addition, this grade has particularly good resistance to marine atmosphere and salt water corrosion. It has excellent workability. It may be drawn or formed into intricate shapes and its slightly greater strength in the annealed condition minimizes tearing that occurs in 1100 and 3003.<br>
The applications of 5052 aluminum plate: Used in a wide variety of applications from aircraft.<br>
6061 is typically selected where welding or brazing is required or for its high corrosion resistance in all tempers. It has exceptional joining characteristics, good acceptance to anodizing and is easily cold worked and formed in the annealed condition.<br><strong>6061 aluminum sheet plate cut to size</strong> is a harder, more machinable aluminum. It is the workhorse of heat-treat alloys. Uses include the production of sailboats, canoes, truck and bus bodies, scaffolding, transmission towers, mine skips, furniture, chemical and marine equipment, and hardware.<br>
General <strong>7075 alloy aluminum plate sheet</strong> characteristics and uses (from Alcoa): Very high strength material used for highly stressed structural parts. The T7351 temper offers improved stress-corrosion cracking resistance.<br>
According to the national standard GB/T3880.3-2006, the density of different aluminum plates is different.<br>
7075 aluminum plate density is 2.85t/m3;<br>
6061 aluminum plate density is 2.7t/m3;<br>
5052 aluminum plate density is 2.68t/m3.<br></p>

<p>
What is the difference between 6061 T5 and 6061 T651 aluminum sheet?<br><br>
The 6000 series represents <strong>6061 aluminum</strong>, which contains mainly magnesium and silicon. It is a cold-treated aluminum forging product with the advantages of 4000 Series and 5000 Series.<br>
The difference between the state T6 and T651 of 6061 aluminum sheet is that the internal stress of T6 is relatively large and the processing will be deformed under normal circumstances; the suitable state for processing should be T651, which is based on T6 to stretch and eliminate internal stress. The main alloy element of 6061 aluminum alloy is magnesium and silicon, with medium strength and good corrosion resistance. And weldability, good oxidation effect. 6061 aluminum alloy has excellent processability, good corrosion resistance, high toughness and no deformation after processing.<br><strong>6061 aluminum sheet plate cut to size</strong> belong to Al-Mg-Si series alloy, medium strength, good plasticity and excellent corrosion resistance. Especially the non-stress corrosion cracking tendency, its excellent weldability, corrosion resistance and cold working, it is a wide range of applications, a very promising alloy. It can be anodized, and can also be painted enamel, suitable for building decoration materials. It contains a small amount of Cu, so the strength is higher than 6063 aluminum, but the quenching sensitivity is higher than 6063 aluminum, after extrusion can not achieve wind quenching, it need to re-solution treatment and quenching aging to obtain higher strength. It is suitable for applications with high corrosion resistance and high oxidation resistance. It has good usability, excellent interface features, easy coating and good processability. It can be used for low pressure weapons and aircraft connectors.<br>
General features of 6061 aluminum sheet: excellent interface characteristics, easy coating, high strength, good usability, strong corrosion resistance.<br>
Typical uses of 6061 aluminum: aircraft parts, camera parts, couplers, ship accessories and hardware, electronic accessories and joints, decorative or various hardware, hinge head, magnetic head, brake piston, hydraulic piston, electrical accessories, valves and valve parts,ect.</p>

how to buy high quality 1100 1060 aluminum sheet plate |

<p>
Generally speaking, the surface of 1100 aluminum sheet and 1060 aluminum sheet plate looks very smooth, and it is difficult to distinguish the quality. We can judge it from four aspects.<br>
First,is the composition of 1100 or 1060 aluminum plates pure aluminum?<br>
Aluminum content greater than 99% is called pure aluminum, 1100 aluminum content is 99%, and <strong>1060 aluminum </strong>content is 99.6%. Other ingredients are iron and silicon.<br>
Second, if it is pure aluminum, how many years can it endure corrosion?<br>
The corrosion resistance of pure aluminum sheet is very good. Of course, the higher the purity, the better the corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of aluminum plate is also related to the surface treatment. The corrosion resistance of aluminum plate is greatly improved after the surface is oxidized by chicken. On the other hand, it is closely related to the environment in which the material is located. Aluminum sheets are exposed to acidic, alkaline and humid environments, and the possibility of corrosion increases.<br>
Third, if there is any impurity in the aluminum plate,they will affect the corrosion? How old is it? How many years?<br>
Ordinary pure aluminum plates can be tried for 50 years in natural environment.<br>
Fourth, Is there a machine that can test the composition of <strong>aluminum plate</strong>?<br>
The content of aluminium can be detected by spectral analyzer to distinguish the quality and corrosion resistance of <strong>1100 1060 aluminium plates</strong>.<br></p>

The heating treatment of <strong>stainless steel sheet metal</strong></p>
<p>
Clean:</p>
<p>
1.the stainless steel sheet metal and fixtures should be removed from oil, salt and paint before heat treatment.</p>
<p>
2. Fixtures used for the first time in a vacuum furnace should be degassed and purified in advance at a vacuum level not lower than that required by the workpiece.<br></p>
<p>
Furnaces:</p>
<p>
1. <strong>aluminum sheet plate</strong> is easy to deform during heat treatment. It should be heated on special fixture.</p>
<p>
2. the workpiece should be placed in the effective heating area.</p>
<p>
Pre-heat:</p>
<p>
1. preheating should be carried out for workpieces with complex shapes, sharp changes in cross-section and large effective thickness.</p>
<p>
2. The preheating methods are as follows: 800C for the first time, 500 ~ 550C for the second time and 850C for the second time. The rate of temperature rise for the first time should be limited.</p>
<p>
Heating:</p>
<p>
1. Workpieces, castings and weldments with grooves and no through holes, and <strong>aluminium sheet metal</strong> workpieces formed by machining,which are generally not suitable for heating in a salt bath furnace.</p>
<p>
2. The workpiece should be heated with sufficient time to keep warm, and can be calculated according to the workpiece effective thickness and conditional thickness (actual thickness multiplied by workpiece shape factor) with reference to Tables 5-16 and 5-17.</p>
<p>
Cooling:</p>
<p>
1. when the aluminum plate is air cooled, it should be scattered in dry place.</p>
