First, the nature of aluminum plate
Aluminum plate is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant, electrically conductive, thermally conductive, safe and reliable materials. Its density is about one-third lighter than steel, and in the atmosphere can form a kind of aluminum oxide film, so that it has excellent corrosion resistance. In addition, aluminum is an excellent conductive material, resistivity is only 1/3 of iron, so it is widely used in a variety of conductive material preparation.
Aluminum plate also has good processability, can be cold rolled, hot rolled, tensile, bending and other ways of processing, made of various shapes of aluminum products. At the same time, the surface of the aluminum plate can also be various treatments, such as oxidation, anodic oxidation, electrophoresis, etc., so that it has a wider range of applications.
Second, the application of aluminum plate
1. Aviation field
Aluminum plate is widely used in aviation field because of its light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance and other characteristics. For example, the structural materials of the aircraft, engine parts materials, fuel tanks, etc. are used in aluminum and aluminum alloy plates.
2. Construction field
Aluminum plate is also widely used in the construction field. For example, it can be used to make roofs, walls, ceilings, etc. At the same time, because of its strong processability, it also has a wide range of applications in the field of architectural decoration.
3. Packaging field
Because aluminum plate has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, good sealing performance, recyclability, etc., it is often used in the field of food, medicine and other packaging. For example, most of the materials for canned beverages are made of aluminum.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between aluminum plate and iron plate?
Aluminum and iron sheets are very different in nature. Firstly, aluminum plate is lighter than iron plate and has better corrosion resistance, and secondly, the thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of aluminum plate are superior to iron plate.
2. Can aluminum plate be used for heating?
Although aluminum plate is a very good thermal conductivity of the metal, but due to the relatively low melting point of aluminum, the use of temperature can not be too high. Generally speaking, aluminum plate is suitable for low temperature heating or used in non-heating environments, such as the construction field.
