4mm Aluminium plate sheet - (100mm x 150mm)

Product Information

Cabinetry and Furniture: Aluminium sheet metal can be used in cabinetry and furniture design, offering a sleek and modern appearance. It is often employed for making cabinet doors, furniture frames, and decorative accents in home and office settings.

In the aviation industry, aluminium is one of the most commonly used materials due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and workability. However, the specific alloys used in aviation tend to be different from the 1050 grade aluminium because they need to withstand higher stress and strain. Commonly used aluminium alloys in aviation include 2024, 6061, and 7075. From practical applications in cookware and gutters thanks to their corrosion resistance, to creative projects in signage and panelling, aluminium sheets offer the perfect blend of function and flexibility. Plus, because it’s easy to recycle aluminium without reducing its quality, it’s an incredibly environmentally friendly material to use. Aluminium plate suppliers UK Grade 1050H14 Aluminum Sheet metal contains a minimum of 99.5% pure Aluminium. It is work hardened during the rolling process and is classed as half hard, making it a medium strength alloy. The other benefits of grade 1050H14 Aluminium Sheets are that they have excellent corrosion resistance – making them suitable for outdoor use, they are suitable for anodising or powder coating, and of course they are lightweight – just one third of the weight of steel. Owing to the above features, Grade 1050H14 aluminium sheets are often used in the manufacture of signs and curtain walling for use on shopfronts and the highways. You will also regularly see these aluminium sheets on vehicle bodies such as Luton boxes, horse boxes, trailers and also as replacement panels on coaches & buses.

Types of metal sheets?

Excellent conductive properties for both heat and electricity (roughly twice that of copper), again making it suitable for economical heat and power systems Plain – Plain sheet material is a smooth, flat and unmarked sheet of your chosen material suitable for a range of applications. Over the last 10 years we have discovered that artists love to paint on metals sheets and we are regularly asked to supply various artists with Aluminium Sheet cut to size into panels, which are used as an alternative to traditional canvas. Shelters - aluminium panels are widely used in the UK and elsewhere to construct lightweight yet durable covered shelters and outdoor walkways in public areas, workplaces and private homes. Transportation: In the transportation industry, aluminium sheet metal is used for various applications, including the construction of vehicle bodies, trailers, and aerospace components. Its lightweight properties contribute to fuel efficiency, while its strength and resistance to corrosion are essential for ensuring the durability of transport equipment.

Lightweight (around 1/3 the mass of steel by volume), so an extremely cost-effective solution in transport and logistics-based operations Aluminium sheets are arguably among the most widely used types of abrasives and engineering materials today. This is largely due to some key aluminium sheet metal properties which, when viewed in combination, set it apart from other metal plate types for ideal use in a broad array of environments and applications. Here at RS we offer our customers an extensive range of sheet metal manufactured from top quality materials. This range includes the likes of steel sheets; galvanised and stainless as well as other metals. Types of metal sheets? Selecting the best and most appropriate material is vital for any project. So why should you choose aluminium sheet over other metals? To start with, it’s lightweight. Aluminium sheet is about a third of the weight of steel. Aluminium is made when aluminium ore (bauxite) is mined from the earth and refined in a bath of lime and caustic soda. This allows the extraction of aluminium oxide, which is filtered, heated and combined with electricity and carbon to form liquid aluminium. The liquid aluminium is moulded into ingots then rolled out into sheets, which, in the case of stucco aluminium sheet, are then embossed with the ‘pebbly’ pattern.Available in a range of forms, a metal sheet is a versatile material for fabrication, construction and general machining. Roofing: Aluminium sheet metal is used for roofing applications, particularly in residential and commercial settings. It is chosen for its lightweight properties, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Aluminium roofing can be painted or coated to enhance its aesthetics and reflectivity. Yes, you can weld a 4mm 1050 grade aluminium sheet, but it’s important to keep a few things in mind.

Aircraft Skin: The exterior “skin” of an aircraft may also be made of aluminium sheets due to their ability to resist corrosion and withstand environmental exposure. These grades are carefully selected to cater to different needs and ensure optimal performance in various settings.They’re also super durable and reliable so they keep their shape and look over a long period of time time. This is why aluminium plates are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. aluminium sheet metal with a 1050 grade and one-side coated is a versatile material that can be used in a wide range of applications. Its lightweight composition of only 10.83 kg per metre makes it ideal for use in transportation, aviation, and construction industries. Additionally, the one-side coated design offers an added layer of protection and durability. Speciality Metals is a reputable source for this type of material, offering high-quality products that meet industry standards. With its strength, durability, and versatility, 4mm aluminium sheet metal is a smart choice for any project that requires a sturdy and reliable material.

is often called "marine grade" - and as the name implies is used especially for boatbuilding or in seaside locations. For a more professional look, you can pay for laser or water jet cutting that can cut any shape out of your aluminium sheet with perfect accuracy (though you will have to provide a CAD file, or pay for one to be used by the machines).Light Reflectors: Aluminium sheet metal is used in the construction of light reflectors and lighting fixtures. It offers high reflectivity, making it an ideal material for creating efficient and uniform illumination in various lighting applications. Caravans - towable storage and accommodation is often constructed largely from aluminium plate or sheeting, making it lighter to haul and offering great resistance to weathering in exposed areas. Balconies - aluminium balcony railings and balustrades are common, once again thanks to their lightweight but rigid construction and the fact that they’re highly weatherproof.
