Staying Up-to-Date with Aluminum Alloy Trends for Industrial Plates

  Aluminum is widely used across industries thanks to its favorable strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, machinability, and recycling potential. As an aluminum plates manufacturer and factory, we stay on top of the latest alloy developments to provide clients with optimal aluminum plate solutions.

  New aluminum alloys are constantly emerging to balance properties like strength, formability, and weldability. By understanding the alloy trends, we can select plates made of innovative alloys that are lighter and stronger than ever before.

  A growing focus is the development of the stronger 1xxx, 3xxx, and 5xxx ranges of alloys for aerospace and other applications. Alloys such as 1050, 3003, and 5052 offer greater strength than existing alloys like 2024 and 7075 to optimize design. We offer 1050, 3003, 5052 and other leading 1xxx, 3xxx, and 5xxx alloys for customers who prioritize strength. The 1xxx series alloys like 1050 are known for their excellent corrosion resistance, workability, and electrical conductivity. The 3xxx alloys such as 3003 are valued for their good workability and higher strength versus 1xxx alloys. Finally, the 5xxx alloys including 5052 provide medium to high strength with exceptional corrosion resistance and weldability.

  At the same time, 5xxx and 6xxx series alloys offer medium to high strength with excellent corrosion resistance and weldability. Alloys 5052 and 6061 are popular for marine and transportation applications. We inventory a wide range of 5000 and 6000 series plates.

  Scientists also work to improve the formability of higher-strength alloys, making them easier to fabricate and machine into parts. New processing methods like friction stir welding provide additional flexibility.

  To balance properties, metal producers create hybrid alloys by blending two alloys together, such as 7085 which combines 7050 and 2050. We keep up with the latest advancements in hybrid alloys.

  At our aluminum plates factory, we help clients choose the ideal alloy for their specific application requirements. Our expertise ensures you get plates made of the most appropriate alloys to optimize the design. With our global supply chain, we source plates manufactured with leading-edge alloys.
