How Producing aluminum plate? Posted by: aluminiumsheet - 02-10-2020, 07:37 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - No Replies Rolling begins with preheated aluminum ingots that can weigh more than 20 tons. As the size of rolling mills has increased, so has the size of these aluminum  ingots, but a typical ingot is approximately 6 feet wide, 20 feet long and more than 2 feet thick. The ingot is first heated to rolling temperature and fed into a breakdown mill, where it is rolled back and forth until the thickness has been reduced to just a few inches. The slab can be subsequently cold rolled or may be heat-treated to increase its strength. The highest strength alloys are heat treated and rapidly cooled to room temperature, after which they are stretched to straighten and relieve internal stress built up during rolling and heat-treating. They are aged naturally at room temperature or artificially aged in a furnace to develop the desired combination of strength and corrosion resistance. Finally, the plate is trimmed to final size. aluminum Plates produced in this manner may be used at full thickness, but are often machined into a variety of simple to complex shapes. Aluminum plate applications aluminum Plate is used in heavy-duty applications such as those found in the aerospace, military and transportation product manufacturing. Aluminum plate, machined to shape, forms the skins of jets and spacecraft fuel tanks. It is used for storage tanks in many industries, in part because some aluminum alloys become tougher at supercold temperatures. This property is especially useful in holding cryogenic (very-low-temperature) materials. aluminum Plate is also used to manufacture structural sections for railcars and ships, as well as armor for military vehicles.   Aluminium sheets ,aluminum sheet metal Posted by: askaluadmin - 02-07-2020, 03:09 AM - Forum: Knowledge & Technique - No Replies Aluminium sheets is a new kind of building decorative materials for more and more population among the customer, Aluminium wall panel is lighter than the iron and steel, also, It's waterproof, fireproof and much popular decorative building materials. We would like to highlight our aluminum sheets, aluminum sheet metal(1050,1060, 1070,1100,3003,3004,3105,8011,5052) with good physical performance, flat surface and smooth edge , suitable for both deep drawing and Spinning. 1100H24 aluminium sheet metal  has the high precent of aluminium, it has the good expand ability, so, aluminium wall panel can shape flat, curve, circle and differnet kind of pattern. The four most common aluminium grades available as sheet metal are 1XXX,3XXX,5XXX series. 1XXX series aluminium sheet metal  is commercially pure aluminium, so it is highly chemical and weather resistant. It is ductile enough for deep drawing and weldable, but low strength. It is commonly used in chemical processing equipment, light reflectors, and jewelry. 3XXX series aluminium sheet metal is stronger than 1100, while maintaining the same formability and low cost. It is corrosion resistant and weldable, It is often used in stampings, spun and drawn parts, mail boxes, cabinets, tanks, reflectors and fan blades. 5XXX series aluminium sheets is much stronger than 3003 while still maintaining good formability. It maintains high corrosion resistance and weldability, common applications include electronic classis, tanks, and pressure vessels.

Posted by: aluminiumsheet - 02-06-2020, 09:26 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - Replies (1) Many people are searching for 3mm aluminium sheet price or 2mm aluminium sheet price online. In theory the aluminium sheet price has no relation to thickness of a sheet, for we usually give quotation at the unit of metric ton. The only possible way by which an aluminium plate price is related to thickness is that question sender wants a price at the unit of square meter. This is still difficult, for the price per square meter is given based on the price per metric ton. In spite of that, we can give a price scope ranging from $17 to $29 per square meter. 2 mm and 3 mm thick aluminium sheet plate are common thickness gauge of aluminium sheet plates on the market, and are also have wide application. Many common seen grades such as: 1060, 1070, 3003, 5052, 5083, 6061 aluminium sheet, etc., can be processed into the above thickness. Aluminium sheet with the thickness of 3mm occupy a large proportion of the orders of our Haomei aluminum. So many friends may ask for the price of 3mm thick aluminium sheet , here we give you the answer. The aluminum processing industry generally knows that the price of aluminium sheets should be determined from the thickness, length and width, alloy grade, temper, performance requirements and also the delivery cost. The 3mm thick aluminium sheet  only indicate the thickness, and the other factors like alloys, width, length and temper are lacking, because the price of different alloys in the same specification is also different. Pure aluminum plates like 1050, 1060, 1070 and 1100 are cheaper, and alloy plates like 3003, 5052 and 6061 are more expensive. So, the accurate price of 3mm thick aluminium sheet  can not be ensured without other information, we only can give you quotation to know the usage and other diameters. Besides, the price matches the quality and service, if you find some suppliers with very low price, pay attention please, the performance of the aluminum sheet maybe can not meet your requirements. Find a trusted suppliers is an ideal method for saving cost in the future! If you want a more specific specific price of a 3mm [/url][url=http://www.thick-aluminum-plate.com/]thick aluminium sheet , you are expected to provide more details such as alloy, temper, surface treatment methods and so on. Generally speaking, 1xxx aluminium sheets are the cheapest, and 3xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx, 7xxx successively more expensive, for they are related to different processes and tempers. For example, 3003, 3004, 5052 and 5083 are usually of HO temper which falls under cold rolling process, while 6061 and 7075 are usually of T temper indicating hot rolling. As a result, there is a large price disparity between 3003 H24 and 7075 T6 aluminium sheets. If you are getting the sheets coated or anodized, it involves extra surface treatment processes that entail extra costs. Thus if you really want a 3mm thick aluminium sheet price, please send full details of the sheet to your supplier, or else it will be a wast of time of both parties. Haomei supplies 1xxx, 3xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx and 7xxx aluminium sheets of all regular specifications.

The  2024  and 7075 are the most common use aluminum alloy in aluminium sheets for aircraft. Aircraft manufacturers use high-strength alloys (principally alloy 7075) to strengthen aluminum aircraft structures and other aerospace equipment. Aluminum alloy 7075 has Copper (1.6 %), Magnesium (2.5 %) & Zinc (5.6 %) added for ultimate strength, but the copper in it makes it quite difficult to weld. On the other hand, it anodizes really beautifully. 7075 has the best machinability and it will result in a very nice finish. As a typical aircraft aluminium sheet, 7075 aluminum sheet is a cold-treated forging alloy with high strength and high hardness, far better than mild steel. 7075 aluminum sheet plate is one of the most powerful commercial alloys, with common corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties and anode reaction. The fine grain makes the deep drilling performance better, the tool wear resistance is enhanced, the thread rolling is different from the weight, and the preferred metal material with lower density requirements and higher hardness requirements. 7075 aluminum plate is usually used to manufacture aircraft structures and other high-stress structural parts that require high strength and high corrosion resistance, such as aircraft upper and lower wing panels, purlins and partitions on aircraft. The aluminium sheets for aircraft 7075 has good solution after solution treatment, good heat treatment strengthening effect, high strength below 150 °C, good low temperature strength, poor welding performance, stress corrosion cracking tendency, double-stage aging can improve anti-SCC performance. 2024-T3 This is the most common of the high-strength aluminum alloys. It has high-grade quality used in aircraft. The 2024-T3 aluminum sheet is thought of as the aircraft alloy because of its strength & it also has excellent fatigue resistance. Welding is not recommended. Basically, uses for 2024-T3 Alclad aluminum sheets are fuselage & wing skins, cowls, aircraft structures, & also for repair & restoration because of its shiny finish (2024-T3 Alclad). Its ultimate strength is 62000 PSI with a shearing strength of 40000 PSI.

Posted by: aluminiumsheet - 02-06-2020, 07:55 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - Replies (1) There are many industries uses aluminum sheet metal fabrication nowadays. Aluminum is often used in aerospace, spacecraft fuel tanks, automobile bodies, home appliances and cookware, etc. Below are the most common applications of aluminium you never would have quite expected: Precision Tubing in motor Air Conditioning, Refrigerators, Vehicles etc: Strong heat transfer applications allow it to be used extensively for the automotive, AC and solar market industries, as well as for carrying liquids or gases Packaging: Aluminium sheets are completely recyclable, which saves a lot of energy. It is used to package food and drinks, such as bottle caps, containers, cans and medication packaging Rolled Aluminium Products: Use of aluminium is more common everyday use, by its more informal title tin foil is produced through the metalworking process of 'rolling', whereby sheet ingots are cast from molten billet aluminium, then re-rolled on sheet and foil rolling mills to the desired thickness Automotive and Construction: As people start to recognize the importance fuel efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions, more and more automotive manufacturers have begun using more aluminium in their designs. Aluminium is pretty much necessary in construction work!

Posted by: aluminiumsheet - 02-05-2020, 06:37 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - No Replies Many people are confused about differences between aluminium slugs for tubes and steel ones. In our daily life we can not avoid drinking beverage kept in pop cans. Some observant people notice material difference among the cans. Take porridge cans and beer cans for example. Not a few people in China like porridge with eight kinds of beans. When I was a child, I cleaned the can after finishing drinking the porridge, and used it to contain water. It was just a game of a young boy, but a few days later, I felt depressed because the can was covered with iron rust. Some cans, like beer cans, however, remain bright and beautiful even after a long time. I could not figure out the reason, but I believe that readers can. Right, these bright cans were made of aluminium slug for tubes and rusty one steel slug for tubes. What’s the difference, then?  aluminium slugs for tubes have the following advantages while being used for production of pop cans.  First, it withstands shocks more strongly than glass and steel, because it boasts better tensile strength.  Second, it’s much letter than any other candidates of materials. It weighs only one third of steel and much lighter than glass. A pop can made of aluminum slug for tubes only has a weight of 14g.  Third, it’s convenient to stack them. Fourth, they are non-transparent, so the liquid food inside will not be influenced by light. Fifth, if the cans are filled with beer, the beer can be pasteurized after the cans have been sealed.  This guarantees aseptic conditions for the food. Last but not least, pop cans are disposable containers, and they can be recycled efficiently only when they are made of aluminium slug for tubes. Steel cans proves to of little recyclable value. Based on the story above we can conclude that aluminium slugs for tubes have better corrosion resistance. After being made into cans, they obtain a layer of oxidation film whose strong stability helps protect inner aluminium from being oxidized. Besides, they have better tensile strength and lighter weight. Although steel slug manufacturers declare that steel can be as tensile and light as aluminium slugs, it’s only a strategy to promote their products. Extensibility and small density are two natural advantages of aluminum over other metals. Besides, aluminium slugsfor tubes beat steel slug for tubes from an environmental point of view. Reclamation depots welcome aluminium cans but refuses to take steel ones, because aluminium products have larger recyclable value. They can be recycled almost by 100 percent. Then why do steel cans still win popularity? The core reason lies in price. Steel cans cost less than aluminium cans, for their production entail less advanced technology. Aluminium can manufacturers in China still need to import production lines which cost tens of million dollars each. Haomei is a professional aluminium slug for collapsible tube supplier in China, our aluminum slugs 1070 product won good reputation on world market. Collapsible tube made of 1070 aluminium slugs has 99.7% purity and can be used for cosmetic, tooth-pipe, pharmaceutical and food packaging. The diameter processable range is 6mm-220mm, and the thickness processable range is 2mm-25mm. The aluminium slugs factory Haomei in China is a professional company mainly produces aluminum slugs for cold extrusion aluminum cans and tubes. The cans and tubes processed from aluminium slugs are wide, such as toothpaste tubes, glue pipes, cosmetic tubes, marker tubes, capacitor tubes, aerosol cans, cigar tubes, pigment tubes, etc.   How are aluminium slugs made into collapsible tubes? Posted by: aluminiumsheet - 02-05-2020, 06:33 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - No Replies An aluminium slugsfor collapsible tube is obtained on a machine that cuts many slugs from a straight bar or coiled stock. The thickness, shape and size of the slug is set by a stop in the machine. A feeding mechanism feeds the aluminum bar or coil stock up against the stop and then a knife pushes against the aluminum material and shears of the slug. This is done at a fairly high speed of production. The cut slugs are then sent to a cold heading machine that reverse extrudes each aluminium slugs into a straight can shape. A plunger pushes against the slug inside a hole in a die and the material flows up the plunger to form a can. This is done in a full automatic production line where aluminium slugs are fed into the start unit of the line. They are then extruded, during which lips are rolled onto them. The inside of the shaped cans are lacquered, and next labels are rolled onto them. The finished empty cans are bunched together, strapped and stacked on pallets ready to ship. All the steps are done on one production line with no human touch from start to finish.  As a kind of traditional packing approach, aluminum collapsible tube(aluminum tube) are widely used in Pharmacy, food, cosmetic, chemical industries. The major production process loop include: aluminium slugs-> slug tumbling->tube extrusion-> tube trimming-> annealing-> inner printing->primer-> printing-> capping-> end gluing-> inspection-> packing. Aluminum collapsible tubes are one of the most common packaging solutions in cosmetic, health care, pharmaceutical, food and adhesive industries. They are ideal for packing low viscosity products, such as lotion, cream, ointment and adhesive. The tube collapses as the contents are squeezed out, effectively preventing suck back of air or contaminants and thus maximizes shelf life of product. Below are the key production procedures for making aluminium collapsible tubes: Step 1: Slug Extrusion, Tube Trimming and Annealing All tubes are made from aluminium slugs, usually in 99.7% purity. Slugs are put into extrusion press machine and molded into tubes. The extruded tubes then go through a trimming process, with mouth and shoulder being threaded, shaved and trimmed. Further, extruded tubes have to be annealed in the oven under 3,500 degree Celsius to reach proper degree of softness. Step 2: Internal Lacquer To avoid chemical reactions between tube and its contents, the inner wall of tubes will be duly lacquered to form a protective coating. Depending on the chemical features of the contents, clients can request for plain or double lacquering. Step 3: External Coating & Printing The extruded tubes can be coated externally with polyester resin, usually in white color. Also called as base coating, external coating forms a protective layer on the surface of tube. The coated tubes then proceed to offset printing process. Foil stamping in gold, silver or pearl white colors is also available. Step 4: Capping Caps are affixed to the tubes afterwards. Caps are made of PP or PS plastic, with various styles and colors to choose from, including flowerpot (snip tip top), rounded, angular, flat top, stiple top, piercer (cap with puncture point), stand-up (smooth, full-width), flip-top (natural dispensing cap with snap-top), concave top, tamper-proof, etc. Step 5: Latex Lining For products that are sensitive to air and moisture and require maximum shelf life, enhanced latex lining is required. Shin Dorn can do adjustable width of latex bands at the rear open end of tube to prevent content leakage.

Posted by: aluminiumsheet - 02-05-2020, 06:27 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - No Replies Aluminum slug is a kind of metal blank made of aluminum alloy withsilver color in different thickness and different shapes like circle, oval, rectangle, dome, concave. Aluminum slugs are widely used as industrial metal base which are usually made into collapsible tubes, aerosol cans, deep extrusion shell and automotive filter hosing by impact punching & extrusion process.  As a matter of fact, aluminum products are the develop trend in many industries. For making cosmetic cans or bottles, the texture, the quality, the luster, the appearance are all have strict requirements. Thus, aluminium slugs are the ideal material of processing cosmetic cans and bottles. Besides the great appearance, aluminum slugs are relatively cheap, which no doubt will save a lot of cost for manufacturer of cosmetic packing. While, people may find that the price of aluminum slugs is often changes, so the suppliers often give the newest quotation. Then may confused why the aluminium slugs price varies, what’s the factors that affect the aluminium slugs price?. The first factor must be the price of alumina, as we all know that the alumina is the raw material of making all aluminum products, so alumina price must be the first considered. In the world wide, many people may place order when they find the price of alumina is lower, that;s quite a good choice.  The second one is the trade policy, aluminum products import and export is an important part of international trade. The trade policy changes of some countries affect the market and price most, so pay attention to the policy is a good way to avoid lost.  The last one, we said aluminum stock, when the factory have enough aluminum stock, the price will be lower, while the stock is in short, the price will rise a little, that may considered as the relationship of supply and demand, if the supply is higher than demand, the price decrease, if the supply is lower than the demand ,the price will rise. All in all, if you want to take order in low aluminium slugs price, you can follow these three aspects. If you want to know the newest price, please contact us immediately! we offer our client an excellent quality range of Aluminum Slugs, which are manufactured from high grade quality raw materials.These are widely known for its durability and quality. Our aluminium slugs can be availed at industrial leading price.

The cans and tubes processed from aluminium slugs are wide, such as toothpaste tubes, glue pipes, cosmetic tubes, marker tubes, capacitor tubes, aerosol cans, cigar tubes, pigment tubes, etc.   Aluminum Plate or Sheets? What’s the Difference? Posted by: aluminiumsheet - 01-19-2020, 06:33 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - No Replies Aluminum offers a multitude of benefits, including being lightweight and having high corrosion resistance. It comes in the form of plates or sheets, both of which can continuously be recycled without any loss of properties, and can be used for a wide array of industrial applications. [b]Plates and Sheets[/b] As aluminum moves between rolls under pressure, it becomes longer and thinner, thus resulting in Aluminum Plate or sheets. One of the main differences between Aluminum Plate and sheets is that sheet metal is under .249” thick, while plate metal is .250” and above.. Another difference between Aluminum Plate and sheets has to do with the distinct applications for which they are used. [b]Sheets[/b] Sheet is the form of aluminum that is used the most often. You can find it in all of the major markets of the aluminum industry. For instance, aluminum sheet is useful for manufacturing packages and cans in the packaging industry. It is also valuable for manufacturing tractor trailers and automobile body panels in the transportation industry. Sheets are also useful for cookware and home appliances, as well as for construction/building products, such as carports, awnings, roofing, gutters, and siding. Sheet aluminum can even be given blue, red, gold, or black colors, for instance, through color anodizing. It can also be etched to feature a matte finish, or be polished to feature a bright, sparkling appearance. Aluminum sheets may additionally be made to resemble wood through texturing. [b]Plates[/b] Aluminum plate is the most often used for heavy-duty applications, particularly in the transportation product manufacturing, aerospace and military industries. Since certain aluminum alloys have the potential to become more durable at extremely cold temperatures, Aluminum Plate serve as the skin of spacecraft fuel tanks and jets, and can also be useful for storage tanks. Moreover, you can use Aluminum Plate in the manufacture of structural sections used in ships and railcars and for military vehicle armor.
