Why is 1050 used as aluminum channel letter coil

Among alloys of aluminum coil used for channel letter, 1050 is the most popular one. Why is 1050 used as aluminum channel letter coil? Because it’s light, corrosion resistant, heat conductive, scratch resistant, plastic and adaptable to color coating, bending etc.
aluminum channel letter coil
1050 aluminum coil is among the lightest grades in aluminium sheet coil family. Its density is close to pure aluminium, 2.7g/cm3, much smaller than either copper or iron. This proves to be a great advantage as a channel letter material, for most finished channel letters are fixed onto suspended frames which are expected to be as light as possible. Just as lightness, corrosion resistance proves to be another necessary requirement for an aluminum coil channel. Imagine how many winds, rains, snows and frosts the letters and frames would have to withstand in the open air. That’s why all channel letter aluminum coil strips are color coated and even anodized. In spite of its naturally good corrosion resistance, mill finish 1050 alloy coil is not strong enough to fulfil the requirement. Coated surface of 1050 channel letter coils are scratch resistant, too. Anodized films and paint layers are so hard that they remain intact under most common forces of scratching. In addition, the color has been so skillfully coated as not to influence the bending properties of the coil. This enables designers to simply bend the coil strip into wanted letters and shapes by bare hands.
Haomei supplies 1050 aluminum channel letter coil of thickness from 0.4mm to 1.0mm (most regularly 0.6mm) thick and 30 to 100mm wide. The length of the coil can be customized (100m rolls most popular). The surface can be brushed if necessary. Welcome to contact us at april@aluminumhm.com for a price!

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,...
