Aluminum Sheeting For Sale

2022-01-06

There are many friends looking for aluminum sheeting for sale that can be bend without cracking. The hardness of the aluminum sheet is the key to whether the bending cracks or not. The hardness of the aluminum sheet is too high and it is easy to crack. The hardness of the aluminum sheet is related to the grade and temper of the aluminum sheet for sale.

Aluminium sheet grade series that can be bent: usually 1000 series, 3000 series and 5000 series aluminum sheets are often used for bending. Series of aluminum sheet grades not used for bending: The 6000 series and 7000 series have high hardness. Generally, they are delivered in the state of medium thick aluminum plates. They are not used for bending. The relationship between the alloy of the aluminum sheeting for sale and the bending:
1, The hardness of pure aluminum is not very high, and the commonly used ones are 1060, 1100, 1050, etc., which can be bent;
2, 3000 series aluminum manganese alloy aluminum sheet: 3003, 3005, 3A21, etc. can also be bent;
3, 5000 series aluminum-magnesium alloy sheet, 5052H32 is the most commonly used, bending 90 degrees without cracking.

The temper of the aluminum sheet for sale is divided into full hard, semi-hard, and soft tempers (usually the soft temper is called the O temper), the relationship between the state of the aluminum sheet and the bending:
1, Hard temper: The bending effect of full hard is basically not very good, such as H18, H19, H38, etc. are all hard, 6061, 2024, 7075 T6, T651 are hardened aluminum sheet and cannot be bent;
2, Semi-hard temper: Semi-hard aluminum sheeting for sale can basically be bent, such as H24;
3, Soft temper: O temper, 5052-O temper, 5083-O temper, etc., soft bending is definitely no problem, and the bending zero angle is 180 degrees. This temper must be used, which is suitable for some special-purpose products. Because it is too soft and low in strength, it has relatively few applications.
