5052 Aluminum Coil Stock Used for Tanks

图片
For green-hands in the industry of  aluminum coil stock  it’s not difficult to learn its numerous applications. What’s really a challenge is how to distinguish confusing usages of aluminum alloys based on their crossing characteristics. Take 5052 for example. As known to all, its most exceptional features are super corrosion resistance and high strength, which makes it suitable to be used in products that require these two properties. Do you really learn, however, what concrete parts is it used in these products? One of the usages of  5052  aluminum coil  stock  is all kinds of tanks. The first is fuel tanks for gas or liquefied gas. The former can be seen everywhere. Flying motor bikes loaded with cylindrical fuel tanks are no novel scene in big streets and small alleys. Although collective supplying of natural gas has covered almost all cities, fuel tanks still occupies a lucrative market share owing to prosperity of roadside food market.

Strengths and Weaknesses of Aluminum Sheet Furniture

With modern development of science and technology, a new type of furniture has come into being. It is  aluminum sheet  furniture.  Aluminum sheet  was chosen to take place of wood because it boasts satisfying strength which can compete with quality steel, and good workability which makes it convenient to be processed. This new type of furniture wins popularity with young people who love its unique design, artful beauty and fashionable style. Strengths of  Aluminum Sheet  Furniture First, it’s environmental, which is a widely acceptable advantage. Raw materials for this new furniture include   aluminum sheet  and cold rolled steel sheet. Both are processed metals from natural resources. After decades of development, metal industry has become very mature. Due to backward technique, there used to be lots of resource waste during the exploitation and procession of natural metals. Nowadays, however, people have mastered enough skills to avoid any waste of metal resources even when the

Aluminum Sheet Coil for Food Packaging

Aluminum sheet coil , as a bulk commodity, is familiar to everybody. Speaking of its application, many people would give answers like building decoration, kitchen cupboards, automobiles, ships and vessels, planes, advertising boards and even bottle caps, but few people connect  aluminum sheet coil  with food. In  Color Aluminum Coil Used for Food Containers  we elaborated on how color coated aluminum coil can be used as cans for beverage, solid milk, protein powder and can fish. As a matter of fact, some other applications remain unmentioned.  Aluminum sheet coil , if mixed with other materials like plastics, becomes perfect packaging material for liquid food. Take sterility packs for milk as an example. These packs are made of  aluminum sheet coil  and plastic film of high strength and heat-sealing property. They are so strong that people can not tear it by bare hands. If you want to turn a milk carton into a flat piece of sheet, you have to use scissors. Once pressed thin enou

How to Maintain Aluminum Tread Plate

You may have belongings made of  aluminum tread plate  at home or in office. How do you maintain them? Many people maintain all kinds of items in the same way. They can solve all problems about cleaning using a piece of cleaning cloth around the house. Targeted skills, however, prove to be more efficient and useful. To maintain aluminum tread plate effectively you should leave packing cover on the surface, keep it from other items and clean it with a dry sponge. When you first bring something of  aluminum tread plate  home, it’s recommended that you leave the thin packaging cover on the surface. It helps to protect the plate and extend its service life. Keep the plate away from other items, especially those that are likely to make scratches or other damages on the plate. Most tread plates remain smooth and bright even after being used for a long time. If you have to clean them, make sure you use a piece of soft sponge rather than coarse cloth. The sponge must be clean, or else the

Color Coated Aluminum Coil Used for Decoration

Color coated aluminum coil , as a part of color coated  aluminum coil,  is often used in decoration area for its relative advantages. First, it offers rich colors for aluminum products, for even one series of products of the same aluminum alloy type can be coated with different colors. In this way customers have a larger range of choices. Second, it has satisfying degree of gloss and smoothness, which offers not only excellent beauty sense but also touching sense. Third, different colors and rich decorative designs increase sense of depth of the  aluminum coil . Fourth, the PE protective layer enables relative products to withstand long term exposure to UV rays, wind, rain and frost. The layer also protects products from temperature changes and corrosive germs. color coated aluminum coil Owing to its long-standing weather resistance  color coated aluminum coil  is often widely applied to exterior and interior decoration. With a wide range of color scope  color coated aluminum co

Why to Choose Aluminum Extrusion as Heat Sink Extrusions

Heat sink extrusions  are taking up an increasing share of metal market all over the world, especially this year, when the winter seems to be colder in the Northern Hemishpere than previous years. It’s said that some colleagues in southern China have taken winter holidays in advance because of unusual coldness. Generally speaking, there are two types of  heat sink extrusions  in the market: steel and  aluminum extrusions .   Although many people would like to choose steel for their,  aluminum extrusions  have obvious advantages over steel ones. First, they shows better heat dissipation property and are therefore more energy-saving. Less amount of aluminum heating plates are needed in the same room to reach the same heat dissipation effect. Second, aluminum  heat sink extrusions  prove to be more corrosion resistant than steel ones to which anti-rust additives must be added. The element of aluminum is so active that it produce a layer of oxide easily after being exposed to oxygen in

Aluminum Sheet Used for Separation Boards

Speaking of separation boards, what’s the first thing coming to your mind? To me it’s cells in prison. I’ve never been to a prison, but I’m convinced that its separation boards between cells are not made of  aluminum sheet . They must be made of steel of the highest strength. Except prison cells, there are many separation boards which can be made of  aluminum sheet , like those in prison offices. Of course, there are many other separation boards outside prisons. Let’s check how many of them can be made of  aluminum sheet . In the city I live they invented a new type of bus called BRT. These buses have their own lanes, on which other buses and cars are not allowed to drive. They also have separate stations, usually in the middle of road for each driving direction. Each station has  aluminum sheet  fences and a small duty room. Passengers have to pay for their travel at the duty room, made of aluminum wallboard, before entering the station via an aluminum alloy channel. While waiting
