What is aluminum sheet?
Aluminum sheet is an alloy made from aluminum mixed with other metals, extruded into a sheet shape.
Thicker aluminum plates can also be called aluminum plates.
Aluminum sheet is the most commonly used form of aluminum. You can find it in all the major markets of the aluminum industry. For example, aluminum sheets can be used to manufacture packaging and cans for the packaging industry.
It is also valuable for manufacturing tractor trailers and car body panels for the transportation industry. Linens can also be used in cookware and household appliances, as well as building/construction products such as carports, awnings, aluminum roofing, gutters and siding.

What is aluminum coil?
Aluminum coil is an important raw material for the production of various industrial, commercial and consumer goods. Air conditioners, automobiles, aircraft, furniture, structural parts, and many other products may involve the use of aluminum rolls. "Aluminum coil" is the term used to describe the raw material used in the production process of aluminum sheets.
The wound aluminum sheet is easier to store and transport than many stacked boards. Aluminum coils are supplied by aluminum suppliers to manufacturing operations, metal manufacturers and other metal processing operations.
When an aluminum coil reaches a metal processing facility, it may be affected by various processing methods. Aluminum coils can be stamped, etched, cut, welded, bent and fixed to other metal products.
Because the demand for rolled aluminum is so broad, buyers can obtain the same wide range of rolled aluminum in various thicknesses and alloy grades. 6061, 7075, and 1100 aluminum are just a few examples of many coil aluminum alloys. Different aluminum alloys have different tensile strength and conductivity
similarity
Aluminum rolls are also called aluminum sheet rolls, which are essentially aluminum alloy sheets.
difference
When looking at aluminum rolls and aluminum sheets, the only difference is thickness.
Aluminum sheet is any aluminum sheet metal thicker than aluminum foil but less than 6mm. Aluminum sheet is made of aluminum coil cut flat, can be cut into a variety of sizes.
Application of aluminum sheet and coil
Aluminum sheets and coils are used in a wide range. It plays an important role in our lives and you can easily find them. For example, aluminum sheet pans, frying pans, fuel tanks, trailer siding, roofing, aircraft panels, car panels, trailer frames, packaging, etc.
Aluminum coil is a kind of plate in aluminum, in fact, it is long and narrow and thin aluminum sheet supplied in rolls, aluminum coil and plate are almost a cut package, cold aluminum coil is hot rolled aluminum coil through pickling, cold rolled to get. It can be said that it is a kind of cold rolled sheet coil. Cold-rolled coil (annealed): hot-rolled aluminum coil is obtained by pickling, cold rolling, hood annealing, leveling, (finishing).
There are three main differences between the two:
1. In appearance, the general chilled aluminum coil is a little faint.
2, surface quality, structure, dimensional accuracy and other cold-rolled plate is better than chilled aluminum coil.
3. In terms of performance, due to the cold-rolled aluminum coil directly obtained from the hot-rolled aluminum coil through the cold rolling process, the cold-rolled aluminum coil occurs work hardening during cold rolling, resulting in increased yield strength and residual internal stress, and the external performance is more "hard", so it is called cold-rolled aluminum coil.
Aluminum sheet refers to a rectangular material with a uniform thickness and a cross section made of pure aluminum or aluminum alloy material through pressure processing (shearing or sawing). Internationally, it is customary to call aluminum materials with thickness above 0.2mm, below 500mm, above 200mm width, and within 16m length aluminum sheets or aluminum sheets, aluminum foil materials below 0.2mm, and rods or strips within 200mm width (of course, with the progress of large equipment, the widest rows of 600mm can also be more).
There are usually several aluminum plates in terms of alloy composition:
High purity aluminum sheet (rolled from high purity aluminum with content above 99.9)
Pure aluminum plate (basically rolled from pure aluminum)
Alloy aluminum plate (composed of aluminum and auxiliary alloy, usually aluminum copper, aluminum manganese, aluminum silicon, aluminum magnesium, etc.)
Composite aluminum plate or brazed plate (special purpose aluminum plate material is obtained by means of composite of various materials)
Aluminum clad aluminum plate (aluminum plate coated with thin aluminum plate for special purposes)
By thickness :(unit mm)
Thin sheet 0.15-2.0
Conventional board 2.0-6.0
Middle board 6.0-25.0
Thick plate 25-200
Super thick plate more than 200 aluminum gusset plate
Aluminum gusset ceiling generally refers to the thickness of the aluminum plate below 1.2mm
The key to the aluminum plate is not the thickness, but the material, household plate 0.6MM can be, because the aluminum plate does not have the span problem like the plastic plate, the key to selection is the elasticity and toughness of the board, followed by the surface treatment.
Aluminium veneer
Aluminum veneer generally refers to the thickness of more than 1.5mm aluminum plate.
At present, the aluminum fasteners on the market are also divided into three grades: the first type of aluminum-magnesium alloy, which also contains part of manganese. The biggest advantage of this material is that it has good oxidation resistance. At the same time, due to the addition of appropriate amount of manganese, the strength and stiffness are improved, and it is the best material for the ceiling. The second type of aluminum-manganese alloy, the strength and stiffness of the sheet is slightly better than that of aluminum-magnesium alloy, but the oxidation resistance is slightly insufficient; The third type of aluminum alloy, the plate contains less manganese and magnesium, so its strength and stiffness are significantly lower than aluminum-magnesium alloy and aluminum-manganese alloy, and the oxidation resistance is general.

What is aluminum sheet?
Aluminum plate refers to the rectangular plate made of aluminum ingot rolling, which is divided into pure aluminum plate, alloy aluminum plate, thin aluminum plate, medium thick aluminum plate, and patterned aluminum plate.
What is the difference between aluminum plate and aluminum coil?
1, surface quality, structure, dimensional accuracy and other aluminum plate is better than aluminum coil.
2, the difference between aluminum coil and aluminum plate is the thickness, aluminum plate is any thicker than aluminum foil but less than 6mm aluminum plate metal. Aluminum sheet is made of aluminum coil cut flat, can be cut into a variety of sizes.
3, the application difference: aluminum plate and coil of a large range of use. It plays an important role in our lives and you can easily find them. Such as aluminum pan, frying pan, fuel tank, trailer siding, roof, aircraft panel, car panel, trailer frame, packaging, etc.
4, a sheet material is flat, a sheet of storage, a roll of roll storage, but the aluminum roll can be used to flatten the machine, that is, aluminum plate.
