1/8 aluminum sheet is often used in the manufacture of tanks and ships because of its strong hardness and corrosion resistance, etc.
1/8 aluminum sheet refers to an aluminum sheet with a thickness of 1/8 inch, which can also be expressed as 1/8″ or 0.125″;
How much is 1/8 aluminum sheet converted to mm?
1 inch = 25.4 mm
1/8 inch = 3.175 mm
1/8″ aluminum sheet only represents the aluminum sheet with a thickness of 1/8 inch. For alloy models, the common ones are 1050 1060 1100 3003 3004 3104 3105 5005 5052 5083 6061, etc.;
Different alloy models and 1/8 aluminum sheets with different annealing states have different properties, please order according to your needs;
1/8″ 5083 aluminum sheet is often used in the manufacture of tanks and ships because of its strong hardness and corrosion resistance;
3004 1/8 aluminum checker plate Due to its stronger hardness and good machinability than the 1000 series, it is often used in the pedals of automobiles and the production of metal stairs;
1/8 aluminum sheet The most common sizes are 4×8 foot, 5×10 foot, 4×10 foot, 1000 x 2000 mm, 1000 x 1500 mm, 1500 x 3000 mm, 1500 x 2000mm, etc. We accept 1/8 aluminum in various sizes sheet customization (including ultra-wide sheets)
1/8″ aluminum sheet is used as a sheet, how many pieces are there in one ton of 1/8 aluminum sheet? Let’s calculate it together;
Let’s take the most widely used 4×8 foot 1/8″ aluminum sheet as an example, first we need to calculate the weight of each aluminum sheet;
Weight = Volume x Density = Length x Width x Thickness x Density
Length = 8foot = 2438mm = 243.8cm
Width = 4foot = 1219mm = 121.9cm
Thickness = 1/8″ = 3.175mm = 0.3175cm
Density = 2.7g/cm³
Weight = 243.8cm*121.9cm*0.3175cm*2.7g/cm³ = 25476.8g = 25.4768kg ≈ 25.5kg
1000kg/25.5kg = 39.2 ≈ 39 pieces
Therefore, there are 39 pieces of 4×8 foot 1/8″ aluminum sheet per ton. If you need 1/8″ aluminum sheet, you can clearly calculate how many tons you need, which is convenient for you to place an order;
1/8″ aluminum sheet can be widely used in many industries such as vehicles, ships, oil storage tanks, instrumentation, hardware products, molds, etc. Please refer to the article for the use of 3mm aluminum plate.
Aluminum plate and aluminum foil products that can be used in the automotive industry, including 5182 aluminum alloy plate, 5083 aluminum alloy plate, 5754 aluminum alloy plate, 5052 aluminum alloy plate of 5000 series aluminum plate; 6061 aluminum alloy plate and 6063 aluminum alloy plate are 6000 series aluminum alloy plate and 6082 aluminum alloy plate. Applications for these products include, but are not limited to, truck underframes, fuel tanks, passenger car bodies, body structures, and radiators. Good corrosion resistance, good welding performance, good process performance (easy extrusion), easy to oxidize and discolor.
The aluminum plates for fishing boats mainly include 5052, 5083, 6061, and 6063, which are selected according to the size and applicable parts of the fishing boat. In general, 5052-H32, 5052-H34 or 6061-T6 are used for small hulls that do not require stretch forming.
Smaller boats use 5052 or 6061 alloy riveted construction, and larger fishing boats use 5086 all-welded construction. The most popular alloy for hulls is 5086-H32, which is 0.45 to 12.7 mm thick, and 5086 aluminum sheet is more expensive, but also much stronger than 5052.
Some fishing boats are made from 0.125″ thick 5052 H32 aluminum sheet and 6061-T6 shape. 6061 or 6063 aluminium alloy extruded profiles are used for structural and decorative components such as keels, roofs, gunwale and water jet rails.
Aluminum Grade-Temper | General | Yield strength (psi) | Ultimate Tensile Strength (psi) | Workability | Weldability |
5052-H32 | Marine grade. Most suited for forming operations, very good corrosion resistance. Suitable for fresh water and trailered boats. |
28,000 | 33,000 12% elong. |
Fair | Good |
5083-H321 (Interchangeable With: H111 & H116) |
Marine grade. The highest strength non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy in commercial use. It retains excellent tensile strength in the weld zone. Excellent corrosion resistance. Suitable for salt water or fresh |
33,000 | 46,000 16% elong. |
Good | Excellent |
5086-H32 | Marine grade. Medium to high strength non-heat-treatable alloy. More formable than 5083. Excellent corrosion resistance. Most often used to build boat hulls (in addition to 5052 or 6061) due to stress corrosion cracking resistance. Best alloy for salt water. |
30,000 | 42,000 12% elong. |
Excellent | Good |
6061-T6 | Marine grade, often used as stiffeners to build boat hulls and other components. The most often used aluminum alloy for its strength, heat treatability, workability and weldability. |
40,000 | 45,000 17% elong. |
Good | Good |
6063-T52 | Softer and lower strength than 6061, good for forming, high surface finish, excellent for anodizing. Good for railings, gunnels etc. where forming is required |
21,000 | 27,000 | Good | Good |
6262-T6511 | Used when significant machining is required, it contains lead and bismuth to partially lubricate the cutting tool. Good strength and corrosion resistance. High surface finish possible. |
