Our company advantages
Technological & Production Strengths:
R&D Capabilities: Own a national-level corporate technology center and contributes to industry
standards.
Production Scale: We had an annual capacity exceeding 1 million tons of aluminium large-scale
rolling mills.
Production Ability: We can produce the great Aluminum material for automobile, railway transportation,
marine, aerospace etc fields, and obtained the relevant certification.
We own the world advanced equipments, include:
Code | Name | Brand |
A | aluminum ignot melting furnace | GAUTSCHI (Switzerland) |
B | 4 continuous hot rolling mills | SMS Group (Germany) |
C | 2800mm width single stand cold rolling mill | SMS Group (Germany) |
D | all automatic three-dimensional elevated warehouse | Dematic (USA) |
Our samples:
We are good at medium and thick 5xxx/6xxx series aluminum plates product, and produced
some samples for display. Most samples are used for automobile and railway transportation fields.
Ocean Shipping
For oversize plate, we use Flat Rack Container for shipping
1) We use suitable securing material, such as wooden blocks, steel straps, and ratchet
tie-downs to firmly fix the aluminum plates to the flat rack.
2) To prevent possible exposure to seawater or rain, we cover the entire cargo with
waterproof tarps.
3) We make sure these sheets are loaded with a low and evenly distributed center of
gravity to avoid tilting during the transportation.
Key Properties
Composition: Al-Mg-Si alloy with Mg (0.6-1.2%), Si (0.7-1.3%), and Mn/Cr for enhanced strength
Mechanical Properties
Tensile strength: ≥310 MPa (T6), ≥260 MPa (T4)
Elongation: ≥10% (T6), ≥14% (T4)
Hardness: ~95 HB (T6)
Heat Treatment: Responds well to T4 (solution) and T6 (solution+aging)
Corrosion Resistance: Moderate - requires surface protection for harsh environments
Weldability: Good, but requires post-weld heat treatment to restore strength
Common Tempers
Temper | Treatment | Characteristics |
T4 | Solution treated + naturally aged | High formability |
T6 | Solution + artificially aged | Peak strength |
O | Annealed | Maximum softness |
