Why is 1050 aluminum coil used for CTP plates

1050 aluminum coil is not a regular raw material for CTP plates. In the very beginning the base plate for printing industry was zinc that was later replaced by 1050 aluminum that contains at least 95.5% of aluminium, as required by both international and China aluminium alloy technical standards.
This is a picture of 1050 aluminum coil.
1050 aluminum coil is a pure aluminium alloy with low hardness and mature manufacturing process. It’s easy to make small uneven dots on the surface by chemical methods. The water retention property of the adhesion with the photosensitive layer is improved, and with it excellent image sharpness and printing appearance are obtained. The basic requirements for the appearance of aluminium printing base are complete cleanliness and smoothness without cracks, corrosion pits, spots, ventilation holes, scratches, bruises, marks, peeling, pine-like patterns, oil marks or other defects. There should be no non-metallic indentation and sticking, transverse skin, transverse lines and other defects on the surface. Neither should be slight color difference, bright stripes, bulging parts or lotus edges should be found out. With a high purity and mature process, 1050 aluminum coil can totally meet the requirements.
Haomei supplies 1050 aluminum coil and 1060, 1070, 1100 aluminum coil rolls of various specifications and usages, including CTP plates. Welcome to send inquires.

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

图片
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,...
