Aluminum sheet is a semi-finished nonferrous rolled metal product obtained from aluminum or its alloy by hot deformation followed by cold rolling. It has a good resistance to corrosion and low temperatures with high plasticity, easy processing, and low weight.
Aluminum sheets vary in size, shape, composition and production technology:
- primary aluminum;
- semifinished products of technical aluminum;
- alloy products.
- general sheet aluminum (food grade) is smooth and flat. It can be called universal in its scope of use;
- perforated sheet, it has different holes;
- corrugated sheet, it is stamped in the form of notches with various shapes;
- corrugated aluminum with different sized waves on its surface.
According to the type of use, the products can be general and special purpose. Special purpose products are widely used in the aviation and automotive industries. Such grades are subject to higher quality requirements, due to which the materials’ required strength and durability is ensured.
Conventional (food grade) aluminum is used in the production of various containers (tanks, containers, shipping canisters), freezers, countertops, sinks, as well as in the arrangement of shops engaged in the production, processing and storage of food products.
Manufacturing of ventilation systems and protective frames is not without perforated products. It is also used for deep filters and trays. Sales of aluminum sheet in the field of interior design are growing. Relief production due to its textured surface is popular in the arrangement of flooring in the shops, creating staircases, finishing floors in trucks. Its use provides safe movement.
Aluminum sheets are very popular in the construction industry. The material is used in the manufacture of cladding, the device ventilated facades, window frames, sills, cornices, etc.
Aluminum sheets are well proven in a variety of life areas, and over the years its popularity is growing.
