Mirror Polished Aluminum Sheet Used for Lighting

Mirror polished aluminum sheet is the most widely applied type of aluminum mirror sheet. The lighting industry serves as a big consuming market. Generally speaking, aluminium mirror sheet can be divided into two types in accordance with surface treatment methods: Polished Aluminum Mirror Sheet and Mirror Finish Anodized Aluminum Sheet. Polished sheets have poorer performances in reflectivity and stability. Usually three series of alloys serve as raw materials of polished sheets: 1xxx, 3xxx and 5xxx. 1050, 1060, 1070 and 1100 sheets have the weakest hardness but excellent tensile strength. 3003, 5005 and 5057 are all known as corrosion resistant alloys, though 3003 can not compete in either corrosion resistance or hardness with the latter two.
mirror polished aluminum sheet
Mirror polished aluminum sheet is used for lighting because of its mirror-like property. A mirror makes the light of a lamp stronger and distributed reasonably. It is actually a science learned by people in ancient Greece. 2200 years ago Archimedes beat a Roman army with mirrors. At that time a small Greek island he lived in was repeatedly attacked by Romans. One day, they came again in dozens of boats, but the island was almost empty without soldiers. Archimedes instructed the old, women and children to hold mirrors and reflect the sunshine onto a single boat which soon caught fire. After several boats were burned in this way, the boat team fled hurriedly. This historical story gave an excellent illustration of the force of reflectivity. While being used for lamps, aluminium mirror sheet has a similar function. Different from what Archimedes applied, the sheet turns into hopper-like covers that reflect light from lamps into all directions, making it disperse around a room. To extend the covers’ service life and corrosion resistance, polished sheets are usually further anodized and filmed. They can also be coated to match the design style of a specific lamp.

Slitting of 1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip

图片
What kind of machine is used to make aluminum sheets into 1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip belts? Many people might think about a shearing device, but they are actually dealt with by a continuous slitting unit of a similar working principle to that of a shearing device. The difference lies in the point that there is no pause of shearing with a continuous slitting unit. Generally, the mother roll, namely, an  aluminum coil  to be slit, is placed. During the slitting process, the coil roll is divided into several belts which are further rolled into narrow aluminium strip rolls. The slitting method of both  1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip  or other aluminum strips can be divided into two types: a straight pull type and a loose sleeve type. The straight pull type refers to the method that aluminum strip rolls are kept in tension from being fed into the unwinding sail to being coiled by the coiling machine, and this production method is suitable for trimming and intermediate ...

Diamond Embossed Aluminum Sheet Application

The  diamond embossed aluminum sheet  refers to aluminium sheets with diamond patterns on the surface. In addition to 1000 series, 5005 and 3003 are frequently applied alloys as well. 5005  diamond embossed aluminum sheet s can be used for conductivity materials, cookware, instrument panels, electronic shells and building ornaments. Their anodized film proves to be brighter than that of 3003, and the color matches perfectly with that of 6063 aluminum alloy products. Generally speaking,  diamond aluminum checker plate s are sold by the unit of pieces. In international business the unit of metric ton is frequently used as well. Their thickness ranges from 1.7mm to 8mm, but those between 2mm and 7.75mm prove to be the most popular. The width is from 1010 to 1500, among which 1250 and 1500 are most frequently adopted. Embossed aluminum sheet s with different patterns usually match varied application scope. Five-bar and one-bar sheets are mostly used for anti-skid pu...

Embossed Aluminium Coil Patterns And Applications

图片
If you have ever used an escalator you might have noticed that there are partition panels respectively at the bottom and top of the escalator. These partitions are usually paved with  embossed aluminium sheet  coil that have a good pressure bearing capacity and are made of composite metals. As a matter of fact, there are various patterns and applications of embossed aluminium coil, and here we will give a simple introduction. 　　Patterns 　　Aluminum sheets with patterns on the surface is called embossed aluminum sheets or  aluminium tread plate . Pattern shapes include lentils, diamonds, round beans, and oblate mixed shapes. The market is most common in lentils. 　　Application 　　The aluminium tread plate has beautiful appearance, excellent anti-slip property, enhanced performances, and material-saving advantage in production. It is widely used in transportation, construction, decoration, equipment, floor, machinery, shipbuilding and other fields. Generally speaking,...
