Aluminium Sheet
Characteristics
Aluminium sheet is supplied in two main grades: 1050A-H14 and 5251-H22. 1050A-H14 has the following characteristics:
- Moderate strength
- High ductility (resists cracking or breaking when manipulated)
- Good corrosion resistance
- Highly reflective finish
- Weldable
- 5251-H22 is more suitable for punching and laser cutting, but is less suitable for folding than 1050A-H14. It also has a higher corrosion resistance.
Both grades can be guillotined to size using our in-house fabrication facilities and can be coated with a plastic film (polycoating) to protect the surface while being worked upon. Polycoating can be in standard or laser quality film and can be applied to order.
