Modern manufacturers offer users a huge range of rolled metal products, which are indispensable in many areas. Among various rolled metal products, corrugated aluminum is in special demand. What contributes to the popularity of the material - more on that later.
Production and Features
Corrugated aluminum is rolled sheets with a non-uniform surface and three-dimensional patterns. Such products are made in a hot or cold way, after which the products are alloyed. To increase the durability of products, to make them more practical, at the final stage, the sheets are anodized. The finished product has a matte silver finish.
Due to the use of similar technology in production, the released material is different:
- extraordinary strength;
- easy, simple handling;
- excellent technical properties;
- long service life, in which all inherent qualities are not lost;
- resistance to various negative factors.
In addition, if leafythe products will be used for the manufacture of decorative elements, they can be painted in any color or shade.
The main feature is the presence of convex patterns formed by protrusions that have a symmetrical arrangement. Such protrusions are called "grooves", "grooves", but most often they are called "grooves". It is the combination of the light weight of the sheets and the presence of corrugations that endow the rolled products with unique properties.
Varieties of material
Corrugated aluminum, depending on what tasks it is intended for, differs in several factors:
- Thickness of sheets.
- Riffle height.
- The number of riffles.
- Composition - the presence of copper impurities as a percentage.
If we consider the figure, then, in accordance with GOST, it is classified as follows:
- "Diamond" or "Diamond". The simplest sheets with many single notches. They are all in perpendicular placement with respect to one another.
- "Duet". It is called so because of the presence of paired notches.
- "Quintet". This is the most complex design among the drawings that a sheet can have. Corrugated aluminum of this variety - with a convex pattern in the form of ovals with pointed ends.
Specifications
Corrugated aluminum sheet is produced in the form of rectangular sheets. Dimensions, in accordance with the requirements of GOST, can be as follows:
- width - from 0.6 to 2.2 m;
- length - from 1, 4 to8.0m;
- thickness - minimum 1.5 mm, maximum 4.0 mm, while the height of the bulges is not taken into account;
- sheet weight depends on overall dimensions, alloy composition and can be from 2.8 to 180 kg. But this only applies to standard products.
The most requested dimensions are 1.5 x 5.0 m, 1.5 x 4.0 m, 1.5 x 3.0 m.
Material advantages
The main advantage of aluminum sheets is their impressive resistance to harmful environmental influences. Due to this, corrugated aluminum is used for the construction of outdoor structures.
Other benefits include:
- High quality surface finish.
- High thermal conductivity.
- Non-toxic.
- Magnetization Immunity.
- Good electrical conductivity.
- Light weight.
- Compliance with any kind of processing.
- Bactericidal properties.
- Excellent anti-corrosion properties.
- Aesthetic.
- High-quality anti-slip effect.
Scope of application
This product is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use in the following industries.
- Landscape design. Corrugated aluminum is used to manufacture various designs of the desired configuration.
- Industry (food, chemical, oil). transitions,maintenance platforms and many other elements are made from aluminum sheets, as the most suitable for these areas.
- Construction. Such products are indispensable for the arrangement of residential and industrial premises. One of the options is interior decoration (for example, making wall coverings, floors).
- Ship and aircraft industry. These are various transitions, bridges, scaffolds, etc.
- Road construction, mine construction.
- Gardening. Products serve as a reliable base for various designs.
