Production environment and process of coated aluminum sheet

Posted by: sovitiv - 08-12-2020, 05:49 AM - Forum: Knowledge & Technique - No Replies

Coated aluminum plate sheet is the most widely used material in building engineering.

The environment for producing coated aluminium plates is very important. Because the environment will affect the work of the equipment, the production of its own plate will produce a lot of dust pollution, so before production, we must ensure the cleanliness of the environment. If the environment can not be guaranteed, the efficiency and quality of the plate will not be guaranteed. Once again remind manufacturers, the production of coated aluminum plate environment is very important, must be cleaned regularly.

Secondly, the production process of coated aluminum sheet is very important, only advanced technology can ensure the quality of plate production. Plate production and production of other goods are different, if the process technology can not meet the standard, there must be a defect in the production of plate/sheet.

One of the things that can not be ignored is that inspection is the most important step in coated aluminium sheet/coil production. In the process of production, each aluminum alloy can not meet the eligibility criteria, so manufacturers to check it, in order to ensure that each product is qualified, while the unqualified products removed. Therefore, we should not ignore the importance of inspection.

What is high quality aluminum circle

Posted by: arnoldbq2 - 08-12-2020, 05:49 AM - Forum: Knowledge & Technique - No Replies

First of all, in the process of producing high quality aluminum circle, skilled workers are sure to understand the basic production process. When you have enough detailed knowledge about the basic production process of the circle aluminium, there will be no problem at the end of the production process.

There are often a lot of skills that can't be ignored when producing aluminum product and the more skills you have in the production of the product the higher the quality of the product you produce in the process of making the product, and the users will be more happy when they are in the future. Therefore, in production and production, the basic requirement is to understand the production process and grasp certain production technology.

Secondly, we all know that Non-Stick aluminum circle/disk/disc is a kind of production accessories, its precision is very important, in the real use process, it is very likely that a little difference can not be used. Especially for those in the electronics industry or aviation industry, the precision of aluminum discs is very high. It is precisely because of this that the quality of aluminum circles is judged by its precision and its precision is higher than that of aluminum discs. The precision of the product is closely related to the production equipment and technology of the manufacturer. Only the advanced production equipment and the advanced production technology can produce precision aluminum circle sheet.

Precautions for aluminum circle packaging

Posted by: DEasiZS - 08-12-2020, 05:49 AM - Forum: Knowledge & Technique - No Replies

Aluminum circles should be stored in rain proof, ventilated and dry places before they are packed. And the product is padded to prevent moisture and damage.

The production and processing of aluminum wafers must be inspected by the quality inspection department and accompanied by product qualification certificates. The products before packing must be inspected by the packaging inspector.

Before packing, the dust and other dirt on the aluminum wafer must be removed. The whole packaging process must be cleaned to ensure the quality of the packaging.

First, tic-tac-toe frame is generally chosen for aluminum circle packaging. The framework consists of four wooden bars, two mended above and the other two below. The top bars must be produced into arches and fixed by means of bolts. The height of reduced bars need to meet prerequisites for forklift. These pubs are also fastened with bolts, which should be under the top arches so that packaged circles won't be damaged.

Secondly, it's required to wrap aluminum bands with a layer of cloth with medium property or weak acid prior to placing packaging sheet to the fabric. Connecting components must be fixed with packaging tapes.

Third, wrap heaps of drying and circles agents with plastic cloth which needs to be sealed with packaging tapes. All of possible openings must be sealed.

Fourth, put packed aluminum circle sheet China into the tic-tac-toe framework which is to be secured again by metal ropes. Then stick a box label onto each stack. The label should display weight load, packaging cost, delivery techniques, unpacking manners and other necessary warnings.

Specifications detailed introduction to 1000 series aluminum

Posted by: Bumukata - 08-12-2020, 05:49 AM - Forum: Knowledge & Technique - No Replies

The 1xxx series aluminum sheet and aluminum strip are divided into O state and H state, which are called all soft aluminum sheet plates and semi - hard sheet aluminum plates. The content of aluminum is more than 99.6% and is called pure aluminum sheet. It is a common series in the aluminum sheets family.

1 series aluminum alloy sheet specification is broadly divided into two categories, one is sheet: 915*1830, one is the plate: 1220*2440; currently on the market the main circulation grades: 1001, 1010, 1020, 1050, 1060, 1100, 1260, 1385 etc..

The 1000 series aluminum plate sheet has a wide range of application: it is applied to products with low strength requirements. Products commonly used in signs, billboards, building decoration, bus body, buildings and factory wall decoration, kitchen sink, lamp holder, fan blades, electronic parts, chemical apparatus, sheet processing, deep drawing aluminum sheet or spinning quality aluminum sheet concave ware, welding parts, heat exchanger, clock surface and surface plate, nameplate, Kitchenware and decor, reflective instruments etc..

The advantages of this series of hot rolled aluminum plate,sheet aluminum are the most commonly used series, the production process is relatively simple, the technology is relatively mature, and the price has a great advantage over other high-grade aluminum alloy panels. With good elongation and tensile strength, it can fully meet the conventional processing requirements (punching, stretching) and high formability.

1000 aluminum alloys industry pure aluminum, high plasticity, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, but the intensity is low, heat treatment can not enhance machinability is not good; can welding, welding and welding with hydrogen atoms, is not easy to bear all kinds of pressure brazing; processing and drawing, bending.

Technical characteristics of high quality aluminum circles

Posted by: AriannaEr - 08-12-2020, 05:49 AM - Forum: Knowledge & Technique - No Replies

Aluminum circles are usually processed by a punching machine. In the production line of the aluminum wafer from the rolls to flat , the material is cut into the shape you want the size and the finished product, and the aluminum circle scrap is removed. This type of production line is commonly used in aluminum processing and manufacturing industries such as cookware circles, lamp discs, tank heads, and many other items requiring aluminum circles. 
It is now enough for enterprises to produce a large number of circle aluminum production requirements. This production line is automatically selected from the width of the rolled material and the diameter of the aluminum circle blanks, and is directly processed on the whole roll of aluminum. 
Technical characteristics of high quality aluminum circles: 
1, the numerical control is fully automatic, the production line starts from coiling until the whole material is finished, and no manual contact is needed in the middle of the whole material, without any adjustment, the hidden danger of production safety and the hidden trouble of product quality are eliminated fundamentally. 
2. The line can be produced directly by the volume of the reel, without the longitudinal shear and cross cutting of the reel, reducing the production process, reducing the cost of production and reducing the possibility of the damage to the surface of the reel. 
3, this line makes full use of the width of the reel and uses the high precision servo motor drive system to minimize the distance between the aluminum circle sheet and the wafer to the edge of the material. It reduces the waste quantity fundamentally and makes the utilization of the raw material more than 80%. 
4, the production speed can reach 20-60 pieces per minute which improves the production efficiency. 
5, since modular design is adopted, the conversion time can be reduced to less than 15 minutes when the wafer production specifications are changed. The diameter range of the produced aluminum circle discs ranges from 100mm to 1000mm. 
6, advanced open book system, six type leveling machine, high rigidity mechanical press and automatic palletizing system ensure the high quality aluminum circle products.

Perforated aluminium sheet popular in cladding material

Posted by: zenicayuvenah - 08-12-2020, 05:49 AM - Forum: Knowledge & Technique - No Replies

Perforated Aluminium sheets work well aesthetically and are formed and fabricated easily making them ideal for Architectural Applications. Mild Steel and Stainless Steel are stronger materials and more durable than Aluminium if comparing the same sheet thickness, however, Aluminium is almost three times lighter making it a favorable material for cladding particularly where weight is an important consideration.

The specific gravity of Mild and Stainless Steel is approximately 8 kilos per square meter with 1mm thickness, while Aluminium is 2.75 kilos. Perforating Aluminium Sheets further decreases the weight, sheet aluminium suppliers says it making an ideal material for situations where minimum weight is essential such as ventilation panels, cladding panels and ceiling tiles.

Perforated aluminium sheets are easily manufactured and can be cut, rolled and folded with ease.

Perforated aluminium sheets have a variety of applications including: architectural model making, interior design, stage designs, exhibition, shop fitting, display, computer modding, cladding, grilles, louvres and ventilation.

Welcome to our stock collection to buy aluminium sheet of perforated aluminium hole patterns, shapes and sizes.

The application and cleaning method of aluminum strip

Posted by: Garretjuish - 08-12-2020, 05:49 AM - Forum: Knowledge & Technique - No Replies

Aluminum strip is an aluminum products made from high purity aluminum as raw materials, after dozens of process, has smooth surface, non-corrosive and do not have any effect on the desiccant, it is a new type of environmentally friendly building materials products.There are three main applications in the aluminum strip

Aluminum strip for cable. Aluminum cables are often used in power transmission and distribution fields. For the moment, aluminum strips are mainly used in low-voltage electrical fields.

Aluminum strip for mechanical applications. Aluminum strip is usually used in various mechanical applications. Because the aluminum is anti-corrosion, the maintenance cost is low, it can be used for different types of barriers, chain link fence.

Aluminum strip for deoxidizing material. Low volume is usually associated with semi finished steel, high volume is finished steel, and need more aluminum material. According to forecasts, by 2019, the steel industry’s annual compound growth rate is about 2.33%, which means that the same period, the market demand for aluminum strip will also be steady growth.

mill finish aluminum strip surface characteristics are as follows:

1.surface smooth, rust, resistance, high corrosion resistance.

2.Aluminum strip surface through the hole uniformly, good straightness, no deformation, dimensional stability.

3.High strength and toughness, and can be combined with bending equipment bending into any angle of aluminum frame continuously.

How to clean the surface of the industrial aluminum strip correctly?

1.In the cleaning process, do not doping strong caustic, potassium hydroxide, etc high alkaline chemical constituents. After ensuring the human body safety then cleaning.

2.The other cleaning is fast, completely without residue, cleaning products are imported nonionic surfactant, the aluminum surface has active agent, the formula through scientific compounding refined, penetration tubes with instant, strong ability of emulsification, good compatibilizer performance, excellent washing resistance and so on. Biodegradation rate of ingredients in formula is more than 95%, and without phosphorus, lead and mercury.

Advantages of aluminum circles in cookware utensils

Posted by: KREffobe - 08-12-2020, 05:49 AM - Forum: Knowledge & Technique - No Replies

Half of the cookers we use are processed by further processing of aluminum circles. The use of aluminum circle/disk/disc for cookware utensils will greatly increase the physical and chemical properties of cooking utensils, so that the properties of the cookers' conductivity, heat conductivity and heat resistance can be improved well and provide a guarantee for making a good diet.

Aluminum circle discs are very widely used in our lives because of their light quality and not so easy to be corroded. This is the two feature of aluminium alloy circles, and space, automobiles, ships, the lighter the better, the better the corrosion resistance, and the aluminum is just in line with these two, so the role of aluminum in these fields It's very big.

The electrical conductivity of aluminum is also very strong, we all know that the general wire is aluminum wire, many electrical manufacturing also use aluminum metal, but the aluminum is also very strong in this respect, but it is certainly not as good as copper, silver, gold, these three metals, but the use of these three metals is very expensive, so the use of aluminum metal is much, aluminum is more. One characteristic is its Forgability. Aluminum can be cast into various shapes.

Because the aluminum circle in cooking utensils need to maintain good thermal conductivity, and to achieve stable chemical properties during the process of high temperature barbecue, this makes the aluminum sheet metal materials made of cooking utensils have a strict inspection range, and the coating aluminum circles just has this requirement.

Aluminium plate for castmouldrolled

Posted by: lourdescf2 - 08-12-2020, 05:49 AM - Forum: Knowledge & Technique - No Replies

A continuous cast plate machined both sides to about 25 microinch finish and thermally stress relieved. It has the best thickness tolerance of any aluminium plate plus maximum stability. It is excellent for precision applications such as electronic base or mounting plates, photo vacuum plates, checking fixtures. Has good welding, anodizing and corrosion resistance properties. No forming. It is usually used in the 6 mm to 30 mm thickness range, but also available up to 150 mm. 

aluminium plate for mould

Aluminium mould plate is a rolled tooling plate. This is generally made to rolling mills house specifications. It is not as stable as cast tooling plate but gives much better life in highly machined components. Its porosity free characteristics make it ideal for plastic injection moulds. Most commonly used in the 100 mm to 250 mm thickness range, but some mills can produce up to 400 mm thick.

aluminium plate for rolled

Aluminium alloy plate, usually in a 5000 series alloy, which has been rolled in the normal way. The plate is subsequently super annealed to provide stability, and then precision face machined to provide close tolerance dimensions. This process is often carried out by processors as well as producing mills, and has a variety of trade or brand names that are often similar or equivalent to each other. This has certain advantages over cast plate in weldability or anodising, but may be less stable.

Aluminium alloy 5558 is a specialist rolled aluminium alloy plate specifically designed for tooling applications particularly in machine beds or jigs. This alloy has all the characteristics of 5083 aluminium plate in welding, polishing and anodising but has the machinability of 6082 aluminium plate. A full range of thicknesses from 6 mm to 300 mm are available.
