It is simply to divide aluminum and aluminum alloys into two categories: wrought aluminium alloys and cast aluminum alloys. Wrought aluminium alloys contain lower percentage of elements, about less than 4%. Cast aluminum alloys contain the same chemical composition but has greater amounts. In the same temperature range( 520 to 590℃), the cast aluminum alloys undergo a thoroughly chemical properties while wrought aluminum alloys still remain the mechanical properties and remain ductile.
![[Image: aluminum_plate-14-300x224.jpg]](http://www.aluminiumstrip-hm.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/aluminum_plate-14-300x224.jpg) Aluminum plate advantages:
According to the rolling processing technique, cast aluminum alloys are generally divided into cold casting and hot casting aluminum alloy. The key difference is the recrystallization temperature.
Aluminium Alloy Grades
Aluminum alloy grates are the most basic types of aluminium sheets. According to international alloy designation system, there are mainly 8 aluminum alloy series .
1000, 4000 and 5000 aluminium alloy series are non-heat-treatable while 2000, 6000, 7000 and 8000 aluminium alloy series are heat-treatable. 8 series aluminum alloy sheet has different advantages: series 1000 alu sheet is pure industrial aluminum alloy and is lower in prices; series 3000 alu sheet is the most great type on corrosion resistance and also being called “corrosion resisting aluminum alloy”; series 2000 and 7000 alu sheet are aluminium alloy used in aircraft; 8011 alu sheet is the best aluminum foil material.
In haomei Aluminum, our main types of aluminium sheets are series 1000, 3000 and 8011. Mature means of processing and casting is the quality of haomei Aluminum aluminum sheet plate. According to your practical application, our professional staff will make a more elaborate division for you.

After a series of steps, raw aluminum sheets can be processed into all kinds of profiles. The first most common kind is aluminium tread plate. It belongs to aluminum floor plate, other names including aluminum diamond plate, aluminium chequer plate, aluminium ribbed plate, etc. This kind of alu sheet usually being used in various decorations and buildings. The next common one is embossed aluminum plate. People often call them textured aluminum sheet, pressed aluminium sheets and hammered aluminum sheet, too. They are types of aluminium sheets with suppressing pattern on them. The embossed aluminum plate can also be printed various colors on the surface. So, it is widely used in the decoration industry.
![[Image: stucco_embossed_aluminum_1-300x200.jpg]](http://www.aluminiumstrip-hm.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/stucco_embossed_aluminum_1-300x200.jpg)
The next common profiles are corrugated aluminum plate or wavy aluminum sheet, they are both often used in roofs. Other aluminum sheet finishes are fluted aluminium sheet, slotted aluminum plate, polished aluminum sheet, drilling aluminum plate and so on.
At the same time, the variety of aluminum sheet finishes are closed connected with the high-quality raw aluminum sheet. The professional aluminum platesupplier haomei Aluminum can support you on both aluminum sheet quality and aluminum sheet amount.

Aluminium is passed through hot and cold rollers to make it thinner and longer in the direction of the roller. In this rolling process, the aluminium slab is either cold rolled or may be heat-treated to increase its strength and rapidly cooled to room temperature with further processing. They are aged naturally or artificially aged in a furnace. Finally, the plate is trimmed to final size. Plates produced in this manner may be used at full thickness, but are often machined into a variety of simple to complex shapes like plates, sheets strips and foil. Sheet, the most widely used in various industrial aluminium applications like aerospace body construction, transportation for automotive body sheet, packaging for can bodies and ends and in construction for building facades. As a standard, as Aluminum Association explains, “Aluminum from 0.008 inches to less than 0.25 inches thick is considered sheet. Thinner aluminum is foil and aluminum 0.250 inches and thicker is plate.” Strips are sheets that are machined into units with smaller width for specific applications.

| What is a low aluminium threshold? |

Posted by: ircasodle - 08-14-2018, 09:11 AM - Forum: aluminium faq

You may of heard the term "low threshold" but not know exactly what it is and why exactly you would need one, and if this is the case please read on. This is an option you’ll need to take into account if your in the market for a new front or back door as it relates to the step at the bottom of the door. The threshold itself is the part of the door that separates the outside from the inside, so when entering you would "cross the threshold"
Why you might need a low threshold
There are many reasons why this is an essential option such as; wheel-chair access, the elderly and those with mobility problems, as well as making it easier for getting a pram in or out and for young toddlers. And of course anyone who would prefer not having a step on the way in, or an extra obstacle to trip over!
The technical on thresholds
For example a standard a upvc, composite, or french door would have a upvc threshold and this would typically be a step of around 70mm. This is simply the bottom piece of a four sided frame, so the frame would be exactly the same on the bottom as it is on the top and sides.
So with a low threshold the bottom piece of frame would be reduced in order to lower the step into your home, tyipically with an aluminium strip, which would be around 12mm in height. This option is available with the majority of external doors including upvc doors and composite doors, as well as aluminium and upvc french and bifold doors. However with sliding patio doors the operation is different, and the options more limited because of the sliding roller mechanism within the frame, however that's not to say a low threshold can't still be achieved.
Your probably thinking "why wouldn't I want this option" well there is one another thing to take into account and unfortunately, it is a (small) down side to the option! For example a low threshold fitted to a composite front door would (but only slightly) reduce the energy efficiently. This is because, in order to make a seal against the aluminium strip there are two rubber gaskets and whilst these are 100% weather tight, there is not the same insulation properties of the standard threshold.

| Why does aluminum foil block radio waves? |

Thin amounts of plastic wrap, wax paper, cotton and rubber are not likely to interfere with radio waves. However, aluminum foil, and other electrically conductive metals such as copper, can reflect and absorb the radio waves and consequently interferes with their transmissio
A cell phone, wrapped in a layer of aluminum foil, cannot receive calls. The foil, an electrical conductor, creates a barrier called a Faraday Cage around the phone, blocking the radio signals on which it operates. You can easily demonstrate this for yourself by placing a phone on a sheet of aluminum foil, folding the foil over until you completely cover the device, and then calling its number -- the phone will not ring.
Radio Waves and Fields
Radio waves, such as those used to carry cell phone signals, are an example of electromagnetic radiation, moving electric fields that travel at the speed of light. An aluminum-foil barrier cancels the fields, so a radio wave cannot pass through it. A cell phone surrounded on all sides by foil receives no radio waves.
Faraday Cage
Scientists use a structure called a Faraday Cage to provide an area free of radio signals in order to perform sensitive experiments or to test electronic equipment. The cage is simply an enclosed box made of an electrical conductor such as aluminum. The conductor's thickness has little effect on signal blocking; thin foils or heavy plates work equally well. The cage can have holes, gaps or windows, provided they are much smaller than the shortest wavelength of radio signal you want to block. The door on a microwave oven, for example, has a wire mesh; the holes in the mesh let you see inside the oven while keeping the microwaves safely inside.
Two-Way Blocking
While the Faraday Cage formed by aluminum foil surrounding a cell phone keeps signals from reaching it, it also blocks signals coming from the cell phone. If you sat inside a Faraday Cage the size of a small room with a cell phone, you would not be able to make any calls because the cell tower would not receive your signal. You could communicate with a partner using walkie-talkies inside the cage, but not to anyone outside it.
Other Conductors
Although aluminum foil is easy to obtain, you can use any good conductor to block cell phone signals. Copper and zinc are both excellent conductors that make effective Faraday Cages. Iron and steel are also good conductors; steel-framed buildings often have many cell signal dead zones because the beams form unintended Faraday Cages, blocking radio waves.
