What are some common types of alloy plates? How do I choose the right type of alloy plate?
steel plate manufacturing process factory I. Common Alloy Plates Classified by Material 1.Aluminum Alloy Sheet: Made with aluminum as the base material and added with elements such as copper, magnesium, silicon, zinc, and manganese, it features lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, easy processing, and recyclability. Depending on the alloy system, it can be divided into: 1xxx series alloys (e.g., 1050, 1100): High purity (>99%), good electrical conductivity, commonly used in power transmission and chemical containers. 6 series alloys (e.g., 6061, 6063): Contain magnesium and silicon, moderate strength, can be extruded, widely used in building curtain walls and window structures. 7 series alloys (e.g., 7055): Zinc as the main element, tensile strength exceeding 710 MPa, used in aerospace structural components 2.Alloy steel plate Adding elements such as chromium, manganese, nickel, and molybdenum to carbon steel improves its streng...
