Unveiling the Versatility of Aluminum Plate

Aluminum plate stock stands as a pinnacle of adaptability across diverse industries. Its remarkable anodization capability and machinability provide robust corrosion resistance and exceptional weldability. These attributes cater to applications demanding resilience against environmental factors, making it a go-to choice for industries seeking reliability.

Aluminum Plate Grades

At Metric Metal, our catalog proudly presents a diverse range of aluminum plate grades tailored to meet a spectrum of industrial requirements. Explore our meticulously selected grades, including:

• 5754: Has excellent corrosion resistance especially to seawater and industrially polluted atmospheres and shows high mechanical properties among the non-heat treatable aluminum alloys. The material has a good weldability and is used for example in marine and offshore applications
• 6061:Recognized for outstanding corrosion resistance, weldability, and machinability, it is commonly employed in structures like stairs, ramps, and flooring, as well as in structural applications due to its robustness.
• 7075: Primarily used in aircraft construction for wings and fuselages due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, the 7075 grade is prevalent in manufacturing rock climbing equipment and bicycle components due to its lightweight and durability.
• 5083 – HOT ROLLED PRECISION: This grade offers exceptional performance in extreme corrosive environments and offers high strength with remarkable thermal conductivity. It maintains excellent formability even when tempered, making it ideal for welding and amenable to hardening through cold work.

Differentiating Aluminum Plate from Sheet

A fundamental understanding of aluminum’s forms is crucial. While both aluminum plates and sheets harness the metal’s innate qualities, their distinguishing feature lies in thickness. Plates undergo intricate rolling processes, resulting in elongated, thinner profiles, distinguishing them from their thicker sheet counterparts.

Pervasive Applications across Industries

The utility of aluminum plate stock extends extensively across critical sectors. In aerospace, its capacity to withstand extreme temperatures finds prominent application in spacecraft fuel tank fabrication. 

The military sector benefits immensely from its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, utilizing it extensively in vehicle armor for unparalleled durability and security. 

Finally, the aluminum plate’s presence in general manufacturing continues to expand due to its adaptable nature and enduring strength.
