What is the difference between aluminum and stainless steel Posted by: haomeialu - 02-01-2018, 01:35 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - Replies (2) Aluminum and Stainless Steel might look similar, but they are actually quite different. Keep these 10 differences in mind when deciding which type of metal to use in your next project:aluminum vs. stainless         Strength to weight ratio. Aluminum is typically not as strong as steel, but it is also almost one third of the weight. This is the main reason why aircraft are made from Aluminum.         Corrosion. Stainless steel is made up of iron, chromium, nickel, manganese and copper.  The chromium is added as an agent to provide corrosion resistance.  Also, because it is non-porous the resistance to corrosion is increased. Aluminum has a high oxidation and corrosion resistance mainly due to its passivation layer.  When aluminum is oxidized, its surface will turn white and will sometimes pit. In some extreme acidic or base environments, Aluminum may corrode rapidly with catastrophic results.         Thermal Conductivity. Aluminum has a much better thermal conductivity (conductor of heat) than stainless steel. One of the main reasons it is used for car radiators and air conditioning units.         Cost. Aluminum is typically cheaper than stainless steel.         Workability. Aluminum is fairly soft and easier to cut and form. Due to its resistance to wear and abrasion, Stainless can be difficult to work with. Stainless steels are harder and are especially harder to form than aluminum.         Welding. Stainless is relatively easy to weld, while Aluminum can be difficult.         Thermal properties. Stainless can be used at much higher temperatures than Aluminum which can become very soft above about 400 degrees.         Electrical Conductivity. Stainless steel is a really poor conductor compared to most metals. Aluminum is a very good conductor of electricity. Due to its high conductance, light weight, and corrosion resistance, high-voltage overhead power lines are generally made of aluminum.         Strength. Stainless steel is stronger than Aluminum (provided weight is not a consideration).         Effect on Foods. Stainless steel is less reactive with foods.  Aluminum can react to foods which may affect color and flavor.   What is the difference between aluminum and aluminium? Posted by: askaluadmin - 02-01-2018, 01:27 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - Replies (2) Aluminum is the American spelling and aluminium is the British spelling for this ductile, malleable silver-white metal. In 1812, its discoverer, Sir H. Davy, first called the metal alumium but then modified the word. This is one of a number of spelling differences between British and American English, such as: aeroplane/airplane, aesthetics/esthetics, colour/color, encyclopaedia/encyclopedia, paralyse/paralyze. The principle differences are: 1) a final -l is always doubled after one vowel in stressed and unstressed syllables in British English, but usually only in stressed syllables in American English; 2) some words end in -tre in British English and -terin American English; 3) some words end in -ogue in British English and -og in American English; 4) some words end in -our in British English and -or in American English; and 5) some verbs end in -ize or -ise in British English, but only in -ize in American English. In common speech, some 4,000 words are used differently in the UK from the United States.   Types and test methods of aluminum mirror sheet Posted by: aluhm - 01-31-2018, 10:03 AM - Forum: Knowledge & Technique - Replies (1) Aluminum mirror sheet has many different types. According to low to high grades, it includes film mirror aluminum, domestic polished mirror aluminum, imported polished mirror aluminum, imported oxide mirror aluminum, and super-mirror aluminum. According to your product features and positioning to choose the right for your reflector, if you want to do high-end products, then use the imported mirror, low-end, then choose domestic. Domestically made mirror is characterized by no protection of the surface treatment, mirror aluminum will change over time, the price is cheap; imported products are characterized by a stable reflectance, 86% of the ordinary mirror and 95% of the super-mirror two grades, the price to a little more expensive. The best mirrors are in Germany and Italy. Japan's mirrors are oxide-free and are standard-sized sheets with high losses, but their unique textured effect is favored by manufacturers of electronic and signage casing. Simple test method: Imported mirror aluminum (oxide mirror aluminum), tear open the protective film, touch the mirror with your fingers, finger perspiration will stay in the mirror above, but wipe with a dry cloth or paper towel, fingerprints will be clean, will not leave any trace. Domestic mirror aluminum is different, leaving the fingerprints will rub more dirty, and finally unable to restore the mirror effect. There is also another test method: Make a small piece of aluminum bend quickly near ear, if you can hear a slight tear sound, that is imported alumina plate, the other is the ordinary domestic polishing plate. Because imported oxide mirror aluminum surface itself will have a layer of similar corundum oxide film, the aluminum itself and the oxide film structure is different, the bending time in the oxide film will burst a slight tear sound. Aluminium Mirror Sheet Aluminium Mirror Reflectors Very smooth surface like real mirror, but high strength. Excellent weatherproof and sound resistance. Superior impact resistance, Lightweight and easy to maintain. Surface treatment: polished,anodized,mill finishing, be free from Oil Stain, Dent, Inclusion, Scratches, Stain, Oxide Dicoloration, Breaks, Corrosion, Roll Marks,  Quote:If you are looking for an polished aluminum mirror sheet/mirror aluminum sheet/mirror finish aluminum in any size visit aluminium-sheet.com.

When buying aluminum plate, we generally will by a large number of it, so it is very important to let user know how to store it. Aluminum plate should not be placed in the place with some chemical materials and materials with moisture, which will affect the aluminum plate; when storing it, we have to remember that after placing the aluminum plate, put a layer of tarpaulin on the surface to ensure that it will not be polluted by rain, snow and dust. In addition, the stored environment should be well ventilated and non-corrosive so as to ensure that the aluminum plate will not be in storage. Aluminum coil manufacturer also has to tell you that the transporting during storage must be careful too. Do not collide during handling so as to avoid scratches on the surface and affect the aesthetics.   How To Calculate The 5754 Aluminum Plate Price? Posted by: haomeialu - 01-31-2018, 09:19 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - No Replies What’s the price of 5754 aluminum plate？ It is one of the most concern in the time of many enterprises in the purchase of 5754 aluminum plate. So, 5754 aluminum prices exactly what are the factors? Let’s learn about the basic performance of the product. [img=720x0]http://www.aluminiumstrip-hm.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/aluminum_plate-16.jpg[/img]5754 aluminum plate 5754 aluminum plate belongs to 5 series alloy aluminum plate, the main alloying element is aluminum, magnesium, silicon. 5754 aluminum plate is one of the representatives of the 5 series high magnesium alloy products, with good corrosion resistance, cold work performance is good, the intensity of medium, is one of the 5 series alloy application prospect. It has been widely used in the metal sheet instrument tubing, vehicles, ships, hardware products and other items. The performance of 5754 aluminum plate is so good as a result of its complex process compared with other series of aluminum plate. Therefore, the price of 5754 aluminum plate is also higher. Specifically, 5754 aluminum price is closely related to three factors. Firstly， Raw material: Aluminum ingots price fluctuations 5754 aluminum plate belongs to the aluminum alloy products processing, so 5754 the raw material of aluminum ingots and aluminum prices are closely related. As we all know, aluminum price is in long-term volatility, therefore, aluminum ingots price general with the Yangtze River nonferrous metals spot price shall prevail. Secondly, the processing fee: different specifications differ in the processing fees. During production, 5754 aluminum plate can be many different specifications, thickness, width, length according to customer’s requirements, and different specifications of aluminum plate in the production, cause a big difference processing fee. Thirdly, the freight The freight is a part of the 5754 aluminum plate constitutes price. Different distance and quantity of the goods of different aluminum freight must also have different freight fees. Some sourcing company will go to the factory since, in this case, procurement enterprise oneself is responsible for transport, of course there is no freight. But there are some companies will ask manufacturers delivery, in this case, the manufacturer will according to the quantity of the goods, the distance for a freight cost.   How to Calculate the Prices of Aluminum plate? Posted by: haomeialu - 01-31-2018, 08:17 AM - Forum: aluminium faq - No Replies Aluminum plate refers to aluminum materials with thickness from 0.2 m to 200mm and length within 16000 mm. However, aluminum plate with thicker thickness is also called aluminum sheet. There is almost no different between prices of aluminum plate and sheet if only considering their thickness. Generally speaking, aluminum plate can be divided into pure aluminum plate, alloy plate, thin aluminum plate, thick aluminum plate, aluminum tread plate, etc. aluminum plate prices of these products are a little different according to their processing technology. So many different specifications, then how can we calculate the prices of aluminum sheet? As an aluminum plate manufacturer, haomei aluminum . will explain the method to calculate prices of aluminum plate. Here are some factors that influence prices. [img=500x0]http://www.aluminiumstrip-hm.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/aluminum_plate-15-224x300.jpg[/img] 1. Prices of Aluminum Ingots Aluminum plate  is made from aluminum ingots into sheet or plate. Thus, the prices of aluminum ingots have a great influence to the price of aluminum plate . We all know that price of aluminum ingots varies from day to day, thus, therefore, the prices of aluminum sheet also varies day to day. If the price of ingot is 2000 usd in yesterday, but today is 1500 usd , then prices of aluminum plate today reduced by 168 usd  per ton. So if you buy aluminum plate today, the price is much cheaper. 2. Processing Fee prices of aluminum plate are different if the alloy number is different. Even in the same series number, products with different tempers and specifications have different prices. Besides, even the same products may have different prices in different manufacturers. This has something to do with the production capacity, product quality as well as other fees. haomei aluminum  is a listed company with large scale. The raw materials of haomei aluminum  have high quality to guarantee the quality of final products. Advanced equipments also guarantee the stable properties and accurate technologies. 3. Dlivery Fee For aluminum industry, delivery is an important part in sale. The distance of destination, amount of goods and other factors can infect the final delivery fee. Thus, prices of aluminum plate  can also be infected. haomei aluminum  has its own delivery system to guarantee fast delivery and low cost. These are three main factors that ca influence the prices of aluminum plate , however, other small factors can also cause the difference of prices.   What is the 3000 diamond aluminum tread plate?
