Aluminium

The standard quality processed at Alinco is AlMg3 = EN AW 5754 for plate, up to a maximum size of 10 mm thick. This is a very common plate that is easy to process.

Aluminium stock

Any deviation from the standard must be purchased project-wise, thus more expensive. We stock the following:

  1. Blank
  2. With foil
  3. Various tread plates
  4. Various perforated plates

Advantages:

  1. It is a lightweight material.
  2. Good corrosion resistance.
  3. Aluminum can be easily extruded.
  4. Recyclable.

Disadvantages:

  1. More challenging to process than steel or inox (harder to weld, less form-stable during bending and rolling, harder to laser cut).

Material Qualities

Three different names are used for aluminum:

  1. EN (e.g., 5754),
  2. DIN (e.g., AlMg3),
  3. and the material number (e.g., 33535.10).

Below you can find a conversion table for the different names.

Technical Properties

As mentioned earlier, aluminum is a very light metal with a low specific weight.

  1. Aluminum has high strength, which varies significantly in the number of alloys.
  2. Aluminum is an excellent conductor of electricity.
  3. It has a low melting point.
