Aluminum sheet widely used

Aluminum sheet is a rectangular sheet made of aluminum metal after rolling. Það er mikið notað málmefni. Aluminum sheet has unique physical and chemical properties and can play an important role in many fields such as construction, industry, samgöngur, and decoration. After cutting, the thickness of aluminum sheet is usually above 0.2mm and below 500mm, the width is more than 200mm, and the length can reach within 16m.

Common thickness after aluminum sheet cutting

Common types of aluminum sheets are pure aluminum sheet and alloy aluminum sheet.
Pure aluminum sheet: mainly made of pure aluminum rolling, with good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and plasticity, but low strength.
Alloy aluminum sheet: a certain proportion of alloy elements (such as copper, magnesíum, silicon, sink, o.s.frv.) are added to pure aluminum to improve its mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
Thin sheet: thickness between 0.15-2.0mm.
Conventional sheet: thickness between 2.0-6.0mm.
Medium sheet: thickness between 6.0-25.0mm.
Thick sheet: The thickness is between 25-200mm.
Huawei Aluminum can provide the corresponding thickness according to customer needs.

How to cut aluminum sheet?

There are many ways to cut aluminum sheets. Different methods can be used according to the cutting accuracy, cutting speed and material thickness.

Cutting aluminum sheet with hand tools

Hand saw: Suitable for thinner aluminum sheets. The hand saw blade needs to be selected for metal cutting.

Shearing tools: Like metal shears or electric shears, thin aluminum sheets can be cut.

Angle grinder: Equipped with cutting blades, it can be used to cut thicker aluminum sheets. The cutting edge may need further grinding.

Mechanical cutting of aluminum sheets

Circular saw: Circular saws equipped with metal cutting blades can be used to cut thicker aluminum sheets. Pay attention to using low speed and appropriate coolant to prevent overheating of the aluminum sheet.

Table saw: You can also use metal cutting blades, but be careful of aluminum chips flying during operation.

Shearing machine: Suitable for large-scale aluminum sheet cutting, high cutting accuracy and relatively high efficiency.

Laser cutting of aluminum sheets

Laser cutting machine: This method is suitable for cutting with high precision and complex shapes. Laser cutting is fast and has smooth edges, but the equipment cost is high.

Plasma cutting of aluminum plates

Plasma cutting machine: Suitable for cutting thick aluminum plates. Plasma cutting is fast and suitable for aluminum plates of various thicknesses, but the cutting edges may require subsequent processing.

Water jet cutting of aluminum sheets

Water jet cutting: Uses high-pressure water flow and abrasive cutting, suitable for complex shapes and thicker aluminum plates. High cutting accuracy, no thermal effect, and smooth edges.

Precautions for aluminum sheet cutting

When cutting aluminum plates, wear appropriate protective equipment such as goggles, gloves, and earmuffs.
Avoid cutting operations in narrow spaces and ensure good ventilation.
If using power tools or mechanical equipment, strictly follow the operating manual and maintain the equipment regularly.

For extremely thin aluminum plates (such as less than 0.1 mm), you can use a paper cutter or similar sharp tool for cutting. This method is simple and convenient, but you need to pay attention to stability and precision during operation.

There are many ways to cut aluminum sheets. How do you cut aluminum sheet? The specific method you choose needs to be considered comprehensively according to the actual situation. When choosing a cutting method, you need to consider factors such as the thickness of the aluminum sheet, cutting accuracy requirements, production efficiency, and cost.
