What Grade Should I Use When Choosing Aluminum Coil

Lightweight and corrosion resistant, aluminum is the most widely used non-ferrous metal. Aluminum's physical properties are well suited for use in industries such as automotive, aerospace and defense. But in other industries, such as construction and energy, aluminum's thermal and electrical conductivity properties make it most attractive.

For aluminum coil, plate or sheet, choosing the right grade for your application usually boils down to answering two simple questions: What are the properties and where will it be used?

 

What grade should I use when choosing aluminum coil, plate or sheet?

When it comes to aluminum, choosing the right grade for your application usually boils down to answering two simple questions.

 

What are the properties?

Where is it used?

 

Let's focus on some non-heat treatable (common) alloy grades.

Aluminum Sheet

Aluminum Sheet

1100

What are the properties: This commercially pure aluminum (minimum 99.00%) has excellent corrosion resistance, machinability and weldability, as well as high electrical conductivity. It has a tensile strength range of 14 to 24 KSI and conforms to AMS QQ-A-250/1 and ASTM B209.

 

Uses: 1100 is used for deep drawing, spinning, sheet metal working, decorative and architectural applications.

 

3003

What are the properties: This aluminum grade is alloyed with 1-2% manganese to provide a tensile strength range of 17 to 30 KSI. It has excellent workability, weldability and corrosion resistance in accordance with AMS QQ-A-250/2 and ASTM B209.

 

Applications: When a slightly higher strength grade than 1100 is necessary, 3003 is often the right fit. It is used for drawing, spinning, fuel tanks and sheet metal work, among other applications.

Aluminum Coil

5005

What are the properties: 5005 is alloyed with 0.8% magnesium and has a tensile strength range of 18 to 30 KSI and excellent machinability, weldability and corrosion resistance. The grade conforms to Federal Specification ASTM B209.

 

Applications: This grade is suitable for applications requiring anodizing comparable to 1100 and 3003. The anodizing is compatible with construction alloy 6063.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ELECTRIC BIKE LCD DISPLAY

图片
An  e-bike display   serves an important purpose. Even if the motor is the element that defines an electric bike the most, the E-bike display is an extra feature that underlines the benefits of the integrated technology that distinguishes the machine. The E-bike display monitors the values of all essential parameters that you must be aware of when riding. Most people have only seen an e-bike speedometer. The electricity meter, which shows the instantaneous power output, the pedal assist, the battery capacity, USB charging, and so on, is one example. This article will go over the features and functionalities of E-bike displays.   Capacity of the battery The battery life is displayed at the very top of the screen. Because it is critical in calculating the amount of charge remaining after riding. Riders of electric bikes can use their remaining battery power to assess how far they have cycled. The fading line from left to right indicates battery drain. While cycling, the bat...

THE BEST USE OF LED VANITY MIRRORS

图片
The lighting capability of  LED Mirrors  is almost similar to natural lights. This mirror serves the dual purpose of making a place look beautiful and assistance in self-grooming to people. However, they are more acknowledged for decorating the place. They give a clear vision and are feasible to view yourself than any other form of lighting. They are not only used at homes but in offices, hotels, and boutiques. These mirrors are brilliant to uplift the aura of the place. They provide a classy environment with high energy efficiency. The environmentally friendly characteristic makes them extremely desirable.    WHAT IS AN LED MIRROR? An LED mirror in simple terms is a mirror with the addition of LED bulbs. This could be anything from strip lights around the side of the mirror to create a ‘back-lit’ effect or bulbs straight on the front to create a vintage vanity LED mirror style.  LED mirrors come in all shapes, sizes and styles...

Benefits of Dumbbell Training

图片
  Dumbbell training offers numerous benefits for individuals looking to improve their strength, fitness, and overall well-being. Here are some of the key advantages: Increased Muscle Strength: Dumbbell exercises allow for isolated muscle training, helping to build strength in specific muscle groups. This is particularly beneficial for targeting weak points or imbalances in the body. Improved Muscle Symmetry: By working each side of the body independently,  Hexagon Rubber Dumbbell  training helps improve muscle balance and symmetry. This can reduce the risk of injury and enhance overall aesthetics. Enhanced Range of Motion: Dumbbell exercises often require greater joint mobility and stabilization than barbell or machine exercises. This can help improve flexibility and functional movement patterns. Versatility: Dumbbells offer a wide range of exercise options. You can use them for various exercises, including squats, lunges, presses, curls, and more, making it easy to desig...
