Aluminium flat plate grades and standard sizes

Aluminium flat plate is a shiny smooth plate used in a variety of applications. Flat aluminium plate can be cut to virtually any size on our in-house plate saw .Our stock sheets range in thickness from 0.6mm to 6mm. You are able to buy less than full-sized aluminium tooling plate and we can to guillotine these to your size (right angle cuts only). tooling plate aluminium are sold as mill finish and clear anodised finish is available in 1.6 and 3mm thickness. Other sizes, alloys and finishes can all be ordered by arrangement.

Aluminium flat plate grade:





GRADE

DESCRIPTION





3003

Aluminium alloy 3003 is a medium strength alloy with very good resistance to atmospheric corrosion and very good weldability as well as good cold formability.



5083 O

Often referred to as N8, our Aluminium 5083 is known for exceptional performance in extreme environments. 5083 is highly resistant to attack by both seawater and industrial chemical environments. Alloy 5083 also retains exceptional strength after welding. It has the highest strength of the non-heat treatable alloys but is not recommended for use in temperatures in excess of 65°C.



5251 H111

Also known as N4, our Grade 5251 is a medium strength non-heat treatable aluminium alloy. With additions of magnesium, iron and manganese the material offers a high corrosion resistance in marine, offshore and industrial environments coupled with a medium strength level.



5254 H111 / AA10

Aluminium alloy 5754 has excellent corrosion resistance especially to seawater and industrially polluted atmospheres. It has higher strength than 5251. This high strength makes 5754 highly suited to flooring applications.



6060 T6

Aluminium alloy 6060 is a medium strength heat treatable alloy. It has very good corrosion resistance and very good weldability. It is commonly used alloy for very complex cross sections and has very good anodizing response.



6063 T6 / AA10

H9 is the old British Standard equivalent for our Grade 6063 T6. This is a medium strength alloy with additions of magnesium and silicon. Commonly utilised as an architectural alloy it has a good formability in manufacture and lends itself to intricate extrusions and sections. It is heat treatable and offers good mechanical property’s, it also has a high corrosion resistance and is readily suited to welding. It is typically produced with a good surface finish that lends itself to excellent anodising characteristics.



6082 T6

Also known in the metal industry as H30, our Aluminium alloy 6082 is a medium strength alloy with excellent corrosion resistance. It has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. Alloy 6082 is known as a structural alloy. In plate form, 6082 is the alloy most commonly used for machining.





Advantages of using aluminium plate
Light weight - approximately one-third the density of steel
Strength - some alloys can be substantially strengthened by work or by heat treatment
Workability - easily formed, machined and welded
Corrosion resistance - varies depending on the alloy and the best resist marine exposure
Non-toxic - often used in contact with food
Non-magnetic and non-sparking
Electrical conductivity - high
Thermal conductivity - high
Reflectivity - bright finish options available.
