Understanding of mirror aluminum plates
Mirror aluminum plates, also known as mirror aluminum or polished aluminum plates, are usually made of aluminum alloys. They are widely used in various industries such as construction, decor, electronics and automobiles due to their reflective properties, aesthetics and lightness, and can achieve high levels of surface polish and reflectivity.
Alloys suitable for mirror aluminum plates
The common types of mirror aluminum plates are 1000 series pure aluminum alloys and 3000, 5000, și 6000 series mixed aluminum metals with excellent performance. Among all the mirror aluminum plate series, the pure aluminum plate series belongs to the series with the highest aluminum content, and most of the 1050 și 1070 series are circulating on the market. After being processed by various methods such as rolling and grinding, pure aluminum plates can present a mirror effect, which is suitable for occasions with high requirements for reflectivity and surface finish.
1050 pure aluminum alloy sheet
1050 consists mainly of aluminum (at least 99.5%), with small amounts of other elements such as iron, siliciu, zinc, etc. It is usually available in H14, H18 and O (recoaptă) conditions. Its high aluminum content ensures excellent reflectivity. It has good corrosion resistance due to the formation of an oxide layer, and the surface can be polished to a high mirror finish. It is often used for decorative panels, ceiling and wall cladding in interior design, and reflective backing for solar collectors.
1060 aluminum alloy mirror sheet
1060 is similar to 1050, but with different impurity limits. 1060 has excellent reflective properties due to its high aluminum content. It is easy to process and polish, which is essential to achieve a mirror effect. It is used to make electronic housings, nameplates and decorative parts, reflective signs and billboards, etc.
3003 aluminum alloy mirror panel
3003 alloy contains 1.0-1.5% manganese and is stronger than pure aluminum alloys. Este mai puternic decât 1050 și 1100 and is suitable for applications that require a certain amount of structural integrity. It can be polished to a high mirror effect, but not as easily as pure aluminum alloys. It is widely used for reflective parts inside and outside vehicles. It combines aesthetics and functionality.
5000 sereis mirror aluminum sheet
5××× series alloy aluminum plate: The main representatives are 5005 placa de aluminiu, 5657 placa de aluminiu, etc. The main element of this series of aluminum plates is magnesium, iar continutul de magneziu este intre 3% și 5%, so it is also called aluminum-magnesium alloy. It has the characteristics of low density, rezistență mare la tracțiune, si alungire mare. The weight of aluminum-magnesium alloy is lower than that of other series under the same area, so it is often used in occasions that require lightweight and high strength. After polishing, the 5××× series aluminum plate can obtain a good mirror effect, which is suitable for a variety of decorative and reflective purposes.
6000 sereis mirror aluminum sheet
6××× series alloy aluminum plate: Although it is not directly mentioned for mirror aluminum plates, the 6××× series alloy aluminum plates (ca 6061, 6063, etc.) also have good processing performance and corrosion resistance, and may be used as mirror aluminum plates in some specific applications. in orice caz, its mirror effect may not be as significant as that of the 5××× series aluminum plates, and it needs to be selected according to the actual application requirements.
