Aluminum Plates
Aluminum plate comes in 6061-T6 and 3003-H14 alloys. 6061 aluminum plate is a harder, more machinable aluminum. It is the workhorse of heat-treat alloys. Uses include the production of sailboats, canoes, truck and bus bodies, scaffolding, transmission towers, mine skips, furniture, chemical and marine equipment, and hardware.
3003 aluminum plate is a softer, more formable aluminum (when drilled and tapped, is like chewing gum). It also offers good weldability, resistance to corrosion, and low cost. Typical uses include ductwork, cooking utensils, gasoline tanks, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and general sheet metal work.
