3mm aluminium checker plate price

What is 3mm aluminium checker plate

3mm aluminium checker plate is a patterned aluminium plate with a specific thickness of 3mm. Common patterns include diamond pattern, three ribs, five ribs, willow leaf pattern, lentil pattern, etc.

What are the factors that affect the price of 3mm aluminium checker plate?

Since the thickness of 3mm is a fixed value, the influence of thickness on the price of aluminium plate is excluded. The specific factors that affect the price of 3mm aluminium checker plate are:

1. The price of raw aluminium (aluminium ingot)

Aluminium ingot is the raw material for making aluminium plate and is also the core factor affecting the price of aluminium plate. At present, the price of aluminium ingot in China is about 20940 RMB/Ton. The price of aluminium ingot has risen a lot recently. Therefore, the price of aluminium plate ordered recently is relatively expensive.

2. The alloy model of the material

Different alloys require different added elements and production processes. Therefore, the price difference between different alloys is large. The alloy model is also a factor that has a great influence on the price of 3mm aluminium checker plate.

3. Surface process requirements

If the pattern of the patterned plate is a common pattern, the price will be relatively affordable. If the pattern is an unconventional pattern, the price will be relatively higher. In addition, whether the surface of the aluminium plate needs surface treatment such as color coating or anodizing. If it is necessary, the cost will be relatively high because the surface treatment needs to be carried out separately, which increases the production process of the product.

4. The impact of exchange rate

As a Chinese aluminum plate manufacturer, we need to use RMB for settlement throughout the entire process of purchasing and producing aluminum plates. However, when we export our products, we generally use US dollars or euros for payment. Therefore, the fluctuation of the exchange rate between the US dollar and the euro can affect the amount of our payment. Therefore, the exchange rate will have a certain impact on the price of aluminum plates.

5. The impact of the international situation

Due to the recent tense international situation, the price of ocean freight has also risen a lot, which has affected the price of 3mm aluminum checker plate to a certain extent.

Current price of 3mm aluminium checker plate

As an aluminium plate manufacturer, we have our own independent price calculation standard. Our price calculation standard for 3mm aluminium checker plate is:

Price = aluminium raw material + rolling cost + pressing cost + shipping cost

Since the cost of rolling processing of different alloys is different, we will take the most common 3003 3mm aluminium checker plate as an example to calculate its current price

Price = 20940 + 2100 + 800 + 200 = 24040 RMB

Converted to US dollars according to the exchange rate of the day:

3367.5$ = 24040/7.1389

Converted to euros according to the exchange rate of the day:

3114€ = 24040/7.72
