1100 aluminum plate uses include deep drawing, spinning, sheet metal work, decorative and architectural applications, air ducts, name plates, fan blades, etc.

3003 is alloyed with 1.2% manganese to provide a tensile strength range of 17 to 30 KSI. Excellent workability, weldability, and corrosion resistance. Used for drawing, spinning, fuel tanks, sheet metal work and other applications where slightly higher strength than 1100 is required.

5005 aluminum plate is alloyed with 0.8% magnesium. Tensile strength range is 18 to 30 KSI. Excellent workability, weldability, and corrosion resistance. Specified for applications comparable to 1100 and 3003 (aluminum brazing sheet plate) – where anodizing is required. Anodized finish matches that of architectural alloy 6063.

5052 aluminum plate with very good corrosion resistance, good workability, weldabilty and strength. Used for aircraft fuel tanks, storm shutters, refrigerator liners, utensils, electronic mounting plates and panels, fan blades, etc.

Aluminum plate 5083 is alloyed with 4.45% magnesium, 0.65% manganese and 0.15% chromium. Tensile strength range: 40 to 59 KSI. For use in structures requiring high weld efficiency for maximum joint strength — plus light weight and corrosion resistance. Applications: marine components, truck bodies, construction equipment, tanks, structural towers, drilling rigs, cryogenic applications, etc.

Aluminum plate 5086 is alloyed with 4.0% magnesium, .45% manganese and 0.15% chromium. This alloy has a typical tensile strength range of 40 to 54 KSI. It offers resistance to stress corrosion and superior resistance to atmospheric corrosion plus good general workability. Applications include tanks (stationary, trailer and rail-car), marine components and welded assemblies of all kinds.

Aluminum plate5454 is alloyed with 2.7% magnesium, 0.8% manganese and 0.12% chromium. Tensile strength range 36 to 47 KSI. Good formability, weldability and corrosion resistance. Uses include pressure vessels , tanks dumptruck bodies, welded structures, etc.

Aluminum Plate 2024 is alloyed with 4.5% copper. Tensile strength range 30 to 63 KSI. Fair workability and corrosion resistance. Forming operations are limited. Used for high strength structural and aircraft applications.

Aluminum plate 6061 is alloyed with 1.0% magnesium and .6% silicon. Tensile strength range 20 to 42 KSI. Good formability, weldability and corrosion resistance. Used for engineering and structural applications, boats, furniture, transportation equipment, etc.

Aluminum plate 7050 is alloyed with zinc (5.7 – 6.7%), copper (2.0 – 2.6%) and magnesium (1.9 – 2.6%) to offer superior strength, stress corrosion resistance and toughness. Stocked in T7451, a temper intermediate to T3 and T76. Used in aircraft and missile applications.

Aluminum has an excellent strength to weight ratio and a high resistance to corrosion. These unique characteristics along with its electrical and thermal conductivity make aluminum plates the product of choice for many industrial applications.
