Aluminum Sheet
Aluminum sheet is an aluminum product which rolled and processed from aluminum ingots. Whether light-duty or heavy-duty, they have an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and natural corrosion resistance. Aluminium sheet/plate has a wide range of use. It’s very suitable for applications in aerospace, aircraft manufacturing, beverage packaging, cryogenic storage applications, siding, gutters and roofs. It also refers to rectangular aluminum plate.

Other Special Sheets
According to the surface treatment, we divide aluminum sheets from our company into four types.
- Brushed aluminum: Brushed aluminium have an unique finish. By mechanical sanding, brushed aluminum appears soft and distinctive fine lines patterns. As a building decoration material. Typically, it’s suitable for indoor signage, though is equally weather resistant.
- Polish aluminum: In order to make the surface like a mirror. The production process of coated mirror aluminum includes rolling and polishing. The sheet has high light reflectivity. There are many kinds of color in the mirror finish aluminum such as gold, gold tea etc.
- Checkered aluminum plate: Aluminum checkered plate is a high-cost modern material. It’s widely used in furniture, such as air conditioners, refrigerators, carriages, platforms, decorative strips etc.
- Embossed aluminium: Embossed aluminum is a type of aluminum product which appears sheet or coil shape. We also call it stucco embossed sheet or coil. It’s a kind of aluminum product which form a variety of decorative pattern on the surface after rolling process on the basis.
Packing
Firstly, paper of film the aluminum plate to ensure that the surface of the aluminum plate is intact and free of scratches. Secondly, export standard wooden boxes and brackets for packaging. At last, we can also packing according to customer other packaging requirements.
Aluminum sheet vs aluminum plate
Although these two products have different names, they are essentially the same. The only difference between them is the thickness. This distinction allows alu sheet to be used for lighter-duty applications, while aluminum plate is reserved for heavier-duty applications that require a thicker cut.
3003 aluminum sheet
3003 aluminum sheet is a very hot aluminum product. The alloy contains Mn as its major alloying element. 3003 aluminium is an alloy with very good corrosion resistance and moderate. It’s not heat treatable and develops strengthening from cold working only. It also has good machine-ability and welding. 3003 sheet alloy commonly used in chemical equipment, pipeline system and in general sheet metal work.
