Aluminium Sheets – Overview

What Are Aluminium Sheets?

Aluminium sheets are thin, flat pieces of aluminium metal, produced through rolling or extrusion processes. They are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and versatile, making them widely used in various industrial, commercial, and decorative applications.

Surface Finishes Available
  • Mill Finish (natural)
  • Polished or Bright Finish
  • Anodized
  • Powder Coated / Painted
  • Embossed

Aluminium Sheet

Common Types of Aluminium Sheets
  • 1100 Aluminium : Highly corrosion-resistant, soft, and ductile; used in decorative and chemical applications.
  • 3003 Aluminium : Medium strength, excellent corrosion resistance; often used in roofing, siding, and automotive panels.
  • 5052 Aluminium : High corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments; commonly used in shipbuilding and tanks.
  • 6061 Aluminium : High strength, heat-treatable; widely used in aerospace, automotive, and structural applications.
  • 7075 Aluminium : Very high strength; used in aerospace and defense industries.
Applications of Aluminium Sheets
  • Construction & Architecture : Roofing, cladding, facades, and decorative panels.
  • Aerospace & Automotive : Aircraft panels, car bodies, and structural components.
  • Packaging Industry : Foil, cans, and containers.
  • Electrical & Electronics : Heat sinks, enclosures, and wiring.
  • Marine & Outdoor Equipment : Boats, water tanks, and outdoor furniture.
  • Consumer Goods : Appliances, kitchen utensils, and furniture.
Key Properties of Aluminium Sheets
  • Lightweight : Aluminium is much lighter than steel, which reduces overall structural weight in applications like automotive and aerospace.
  • Corrosion Resistance : Naturally forms a protective oxide layer that prevents rust, making it ideal for outdoor and marine environments.
  • High Strength-to-Weight Ratio : Offers excellent durability without adding unnecessary weight.
  • Excellent Workability : Can be cut, bent, stamped, formed, and welded easily.
  • Thermal & Electrical Conductivity : Good heat and electricity conduction, useful in radiators, heat exchangers, and electrical equipment.
  • Non-Magnetic & Non-Sparking : Safe for electronics and explosive environments.
  • Recyclable : Environmentally friendly, with 100% recyclability without losing quality.
