Aluminum Plate & Sheet

An aluminum plate and an aluminum sheet are two common forms of aluminum products, each with its own distinct characteristics and applications.

An aluminum metal plate is thicker and typically has a thickness of 6mm or more. It offers excellent strength and load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for applications that require structural integrity and durability. Industries such as aerospace, marine, automotive, and heavy machinery often utilize a plate for manufacturing structural components and machinery parts. The thicker profile of an aluminum plate also allows for easier machining and fabrication processes, including milling, drilling, and welding.

An aluminum sheet is thinner, usually less than 6mm in thickness. It offers versatility and formability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. An aluminum sheet can be easily bent, shaped, and formed without the need for extensive machining or fabrication. It finds use in industries such as architecture, signage, automotive, packaging, and electronics. An aluminum sheet is commonly employed for roofing, cladding, decorative panels, signage, and electrical enclosures. Its lightweight nature also makes it advantageous for applications where weight reduction is essential, such as in the transportation industry.
