Differences between anodized and common aluminium sheets

Aluminium sheets are so closely related to our daily life that their end products are ubiquitous either in interior decoration or domestic belongings. In comparison to common sheets, an aluminium anodized sheet metal are more favored by manufacturers of various products. What differences between anodized and common aluminium sheets, then, make the former more popular? An anodized aluminium sheet metal is obtained by having a common aluminium sheet anodized, during which some performances of the anodized sheet metal get improved. Here we will discuss the differences in three aspects: surface quality, decoration effect, service life and processing ability.
Surface Quality
A common piece of aluminium sheet gets damaged in the surface in case of inappropriate processing, carrying or packaging, while an anodized sheet metal are much less vulnerable. Boasting more advanced technique in surface treatment, anodized aluminium sheets give better performances in either smoothness or evenness.

Decoration Effect
The color of plain aluminium sheets are monotonously gray, or more melodiously speaking, silver. In contrast, aluminium anodized sheet metals, just like color coated aluminium sheets, are richer in color. Almost any color can be customized. This alone leaves plain gray sheets far behind, widening a sheet’s application scope enormously. No matter it’s a large project for wall cladding, or a delicate shell for cell phones, an anodized aluminium sheet adds color to it.
Service Life
An anodized aluminium sheet metal has a longer service life, for its surface corrosion resistance gets improved effectively by an coating layer that serves as a protector against alien materials or possible abrasion.
Processing Ability
An anodized sheet metal can be bent properly and cut at will in processing. It has an excellent weather resistance, performing well in all kinds of weather conditions, including acid rains and alkaline environments, which overshadow common aluminium sheets.
In spite of so many advantages of anodized sheets over plain sheets, the latter have their own advantages and application scope. Thus clients should choose suitable ones based on their actual needs.

Slitting of 1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip

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 slitting.

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 purposes as tread pla

Embossed Aluminium Coil Patterns And Applications

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, clients requi
