What alloys can we offer about 3 16 aluminum sheet

Henan Huawei Aluminum Co., Ltd. has been engaged in the production and sales of aluminum plates for 22 years. It has long provided high-quality products as its core service. We can provide 1000 series, 3000 series, 5000 series, 6000 series, 7000 series, and 8000 series aluminum alloy plates with 3/16 inch thickness.

1000 series aluminum alloy plate

1000 series aluminum alloy is a type of pure aluminum alloy whose main component is aluminum. This type of alloy usually contains more than 99% aluminum, and other ingredients may include very small amounts of impurity elements, such as zinc, copper, magnesium, etc. 1000 series aluminum alloy has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as good processability and corrosion resistance.

These alloys are commonly used in applications that require high-purity aluminum, such as appliances, electronics, chemical equipment, food processing equipment, building materials, and more. However, 1000 series aluminum alloys are generally not suitable for applications requiring high strength because of their relatively low strength.

3000 series aluminum alloy plate

3000 series aluminum alloy is a type of aluminum alloy series whose main alloying element is manganese. Such alloys typically contain 1.0%-1.5% manganese, with aluminum accounting for the remainder. 3000 series aluminum alloy has good corrosion resistance and weldability, as well as certain strength and plasticity.

The most common 3000 series aluminum alloy is 3003 alloy, which is a highly versatile aluminum alloy that is commonly used in a variety of applications, such as building materials, food and chemical containers, kitchen appliances, etc.

In addition, 3000 series aluminum alloys also include other subspecies, such as 3004, 3104, etc., which have different characteristics to a certain extent based on the different alloying elements they contain, but overall they still have the common characteristics of the 3000 series alloys.

5000 series aluminum alloy plate

5000 series aluminum alloy is a type of aluminum alloy series whose main alloy element is magnesium. Such alloys typically contain 1.0%-6.0% magnesium, with aluminum accounting for the remainder. 5000 series aluminum alloy has excellent corrosion resistance, good weldability and plasticity, as well as moderate strength.

The most common 5000 series aluminum alloys are 5052 and 5083 alloys. 5052 alloy has good corrosion resistance and plasticity, and is commonly used in shipbuilding, automotive panels and building materials. 5083 alloy has higher strength and corrosion resistance and is commonly used in shipbuilding, marine structures and aircraft manufacturing.

The 5000 series aluminum alloy also includes other sub-species, such as 5005, 5754, etc., which have some specific application fields and performance characteristics based on the different alloying elements they contain.

6000 series aluminum alloy plate

6000 series aluminum alloy is a type of aluminum alloy series whose main alloying elements are silicon and magnesium. This type of alloy usually contains a higher proportion of silicon and magnesium, with aluminum making up the remainder. 6000 series aluminum alloy has good processability, corrosion resistance and strength and is an alloy widely used in various industrial and structural applications.

3/16 aluminum sheet 6061
3/16 aluminum sheet 6061

The most common 6000 series aluminum alloys are 6061 and 6063 alloys. 6061 alloy has good processability and weldability, as well as high strength. It is often used in aerospace, shipbuilding, automotive parts and structural components. 6063 alloy has excellent surface treatment properties and decorative properties, and is often used in construction and decorative materials, window frames, door frames, tracks, etc.

The 6000 series aluminum alloy also includes other sub-species, such as 6082, 6005, etc., which have some specific application fields and performance characteristics based on the different alloy elements they contain.
