Aluminium Mirror Sheet Substrate and Film

Different brands of aluminium mirror sheet products are made of differed types of substrate and values of thickness. Here is a general introduction.
Film Types
Commonly applied film types in the industry include LG high gloss films, other imported films and domestic films.

LG high gloss films are bright, changeable and lasting in color, soft in feeling, rich in design and resistant to moisture, corrosion and fire. They are the best films existing in the industry, boasting light weight, convenient maintenance and extraordinary environmental friendliness. In spite of high prices, LG high gloss films for reflective aluminum sheetpieces last two or three decades, much longer than other types.
Other imported films include pear gloss films and LG pear gloss films. The latter performs better in improving properties and extending service life of aluminium mirror sheet.
Domestic films include domestic pear gloss films and other films. The thickness is usually between 0.1mm and 0.3mm.
Thicker substrates gives a feeling of broadness, but it’s misleading to believe that a substrate should be as thick as possible. Generally 0.6mm is enough, though some famous brands have substrates of 0.7mm thick. The simplest way to judge the thickness of a reflective aluminum sheet is to shake it. Thin sheets sways easily yet thick sheets not. However, not all thick sheets are of thick substrates. Sometimes the thickness of film of a sheet is even bigger than that of the substrate, and you can make a judgement by observing the cutting section of the sheet, but accurate thicknesses of films and substrates can only be obtained by using a ruler.

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,...
