Aluminum panels is a often-seen metal product used for both industrial and non-industrial applications. In most cases, it can be difficult to choose the right aluminum grade for your intended application. This article is to provide a brief introduction to the aluminum alloys used in the field of aluminum panels, or aluminum panel, so as to help people in aluminum panel industry to make their decision on the choice of aluminum alloy.
According to the naming of the national standard aluminum panels grades, aluminum panelss can be roughly divided into 8 series :
Alloy 1××× , Alloy 2×××, Alloy 3×××, Alloy 4×××, Alloy 5×××, Alloy 7×××, Alloy 8××× .
We have compiled a short breakdown of each of the grades’ properties in order to provide you with a brief understanding of their many uses.
① Alloy 1×××
What is ——
Alloy 1××× is industrial pure aluminum with the highest aluminum content among these 8 series, which is not less than 99.00%. Excellent elongation, tensile strength, plasticity and corrosion resistance are just some of its features. Its production process is not that difficult and the production technology is mature. Another advantage is its low price. Namun begitu, the strength is low and it is easy to be deformed by compression.
Used for ——
Signs, billboards
Wall decoration
Kitchen utensils
Chemical equipment, electronic devices
Pada masa ini, yang 1100, 1050 dan 1060 series of aluminum panels are widely used in the building decoration industry.
② Alloy 2×××
What is ——
It is an aluminum-copper alloy aluminum panel (Al-Cu), with copper as the main alloy element, which is between 3-5%. Alloy 2××× has high hardness, good machining performance, certain heat resistance and it can be heat treated. Namun begitu, its corrosion resistance is poor.
Used for ——
Industries and products that require high strength and high temperature resistance, seperti
Aircraft structures
Missile components
Spacecraft parts,and ship bodies
③ Alloy 3×××
What is ——
It is an aluminum-manganese alloy aluminum panel (Al-Mn), also known as rust-proof aluminum panel, with manganese as the main alloying element, which is between 1.0-1.5%. Its strength is higher than that of the Alloy 1××× aluminum sheet, and it has good formability, weldability and corrosion resistance.
Used for ——
Industries with high requirements for anti-corrosion and anti-rust, seperti:
Automobile manufacturing industry
Electronic manufacturing industry
Building decoration industry
Pada masa ini, aloi 3003 dan 3004 are widely used in the building decoration industry.
④ Alloy 4×××
What is ——
It is an aluminum-silicon alloy aluminum panel (Al-Si), with silicon as the main alloying element, which is usually between 4.5-6.0%. Alloy 4××× has high strength, low melting point, good corrosion resistance, good wear resistance, and small thermal expansion coefficient.
Used for ——
welding materials
⑤ Alloy 5×××
What is ——
It is an aluminum-magnesium alloy aluminum panel (Al-Mg), with magnesium as the main alloy element. This alloy possesses good processing and forming performance, rintangan kakisan, welding performance, dan lain-lain.
Used for ——
It is widely used in conventional industries because of its low density and lighter weight than other series of aluminum sheets. It is also commonly used in ship structures, aircraft fuel tanks, automobile fuel tanks, dan lain-lain.
Pada masa ini, 5052 aluminum panels are widely used in the building decoration industry.
⑥ Alloy 6×××
What is ——
It is an aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy aluminum panel (Al-Mg-Si), with magnesium and silicon as the main alloying elements. It has medium strength, good corrosion resistance, good weldability and oxidation effect.
Used for ——
Industries and products with high requirements for corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. Such as:
Window frame
Industrial profiles
⑦ Alloy 7×××
What is ——
It is an aluminum-zinc alloy aluminum panel [Al-Zn-Mg-(Cu)], with zinc as the main alloying element. It is a super hard aluminum alloy with good mechanical properties, wear resistance and fatigue resistance. As it has poor corrosion resistance so should be covered with other aluminum materials or other protective treatments.
Used for ——
Aerospace equipment materials, and also widely used in various machinery, molds and other processing fields.
Missile components
Industrial profiles
Industrial profiles
Among so many series, aluminum alloy 1×××, alloy 3××× and alloy 5××× are more commonly used aluminum alloy, among which the following tempers are most widely used:
1060H24, 1100H14, 1100H24, 3003H14, 3003H24, 5052H32
