General Properties and Applications
Because aluminum plates can be cut into a variety of shapes, their applications are plentiful and wide-ranging. Thus, it can be used in almost all structural parts. Aluminum plate is also heat-treatable, resists cracking due to stress, is easy to weld and machine which also adds to its frequent use in projects.
Aluminum 6061 benefits from a wide range of useful properties including increased strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. However, it is limited in its ability to be formed so it’s not used as often for aesthetic purposes.
Aluminum itself is a lightweight and conductive metal that is non-toxic and does not affect the taste of food or drink. It’s often used in a range of decorative and functional applications. Aluminum is commonly alloyed with copper, manganese, silicon, magnesium, and zinc for further hardness and durability.
