Aluminum Sheet

Aluminum sheet results from hot- or cold-rolled processing that produces a layer measuring between 0.25 and 6 mm thick. Material less than 0.25 mm thick categorizes as aluminum foil, while those exceeding 6 mm are plate.

Various aluminum sheet types exist, like expanded, painted, diamond-plate textured and perforated.

Each sheet grade offers different standard sizes. For example, 4 x 8 aluminum sheet is typical in 1/4-inch and 3/16-inch sizes. Contact a Champagne Metals specialist for guidance on available dimensions based on sheet grade. Need a customized sheet size?

Choosing the accurate thickness is crucial to your product’s success, but it depends on the application. For example, gutter manufacturers often turn to 0.027-inch or 0.032-inch thick aluminum sheet. Our team members can help you choose the best thickness for your specific needs.

There are several instrumental factors to consider when choosing the best grade for your project, including:

• Processing. Some grades are more suitable for welding, heat-treating and machining than others.
• Properties. You’ll need to opt for a grade that can meet your needs for formability or strength if these are crucial to your product.
• End-use. Certain grades work better for marine environments or food and beverage use.
