Thick aluminum plate sheet

What is thick aluminum plate?

Thick aluminum plate is relative to thin aluminum sheet;
The thickness of the thin aluminum sheet is 0.2-6mm, and the aluminum plate with a thickness greater than 6mm is called a thick aluminum plate;
According to the thickness, the aluminum plate is roughly divided into thin aluminum plate and thick aluminum plate;

Size of thick aluminum plate

The size of a thick aluminum sheet can vary widely, depending on its intended use and the specific requirements of the project or application.
Thick aluminum plates are typically available in a range of standard sizes and thicknesses.

Common thicknesses for aluminum plates range from 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) to several inches thick, and standard plate sizes can range from 24 x 48 inches (61 x 122 cm) to 60 x 144 inches (152 x 366 cm) or larger.

Weight calculation of aluminum thick plate

The weight of a thick aluminum plate depends on its dimensions (length, width, and thickness) and the density of aluminum, which is approximately 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter or 0.098 pounds per cubic inch.
To calculate the weight of a thick aluminum plate, you can use the following formula:

Weight = Length x Width x Thickness x Density

Typical application of thick aluminum plate

Thick aluminum plates are used in a variety of industries and applications due to their excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and lightweight nature. Some typical applications of thick aluminium plates include:

Packaging and Shipping

First of all, we need to use Sydney paper to divide each piece of aluminum to prevent the aluminum pieces from sticking together.

Second, wrap the aluminum plate with plastic film and kraft paper

Packing bandage wraps the entire aluminum plate
Wooden pallets are supported to keep them off the ground (to prevent the whole pallet from getting damp)
