How to choose a brushed aluminum substrate?

2023-03-29

In recent years, brushed aluminum panels have been widely used in aluminum photo frames, high-quality kitchen and bathroom panels, high-quality doors and windows, signs, lighting enclosures, brushed aluminum housing for household appliances, and our common electronic product housings.
So, what is the suitable material for making brushed aluminum panels? Industry insiders say that pure aluminum plate is suitable for making the base material of this aluminum profile. The commonly used codes for the pure aluminum plate series include 1060, 1050, and 1100. Among so many plates, pure aluminum plate belongs to the series with the highest aluminum content, with a purity of over 99%. Due to the lack of other technical elements in this series of products, the production process of plates is relatively simple, and their prices are relatively cheap, which are commonly used in conventional industries. Therefore, the majority of wire drawn aluminum plates made from pure aluminum plates are 1050 and 1060 series currently in circulation on the market.

"The 3-series alloy brushed aluminum plate is a series with excellent rust prevention capabilities, often used in relatively humid environments such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and car bottoms. Its price is higher than that of the 1-series aluminum plate, and it is a relatively common alloy plate. Common representatives include 3003 aluminum plate, 3004 aluminum plate, and 3A21 aluminum plate. The 3-series aluminum plate is mainly composed of manganese, with a content of 1.0-1.5%.".
The 5-series alloy aluminum plate has a better effect when used for drawing aluminum plates, representing the 5052, 5005, 5083, and 5A05 aluminum plate series. The 5-series aluminum plate belongs to the more commonly used alloy aluminum plate series, and the main synthetic element is magnesium, with a magnesium content of 3-5%, also known as aluminum magnesium alloy. The main characteristics of the plate are low density, high elongation, and high tensile strength. Under the same area, the weight of aluminum magnesium alloy is lower than that of other series products, and is often used in aviation, It is also widely used in conventional industries.
