What Are Aluminium Plates & Blocks?
Aluminium plates and blocks are versatile materials renowned for their corrosion-resistance that makes them suitable for multiple uses in industries like construction, transportation and marine engineering. Their resilience also means they're suitable for outdoor usage such as transportation and marine engineering projects.
Aluminium plates and blocks feature exceptional machinability, enabling users to quickly shape, drill and cut to precise specifications without costly production processes or delays in meeting exacting design specs. This facilitates efficient production lines while cutting production times and costs significantly, perfect for milling intricate components or for creating structural elements with flexible designs or applications!
Aluminium plates and blocks exhibit exceptional weldability, enabling seamless incorporation into assemblies and structures without disrupting its integrity or compromise from welding techniques. Their diversity makes aluminium an indispensable material in fabrication processes across industries.
Aluminium plates and blocks find multiple applications within aerospace, automotive, architectural, renewable energy system applications as they offer lightweight durability suitable for aircraft components, vehicle panels and building facades. Furthermore they're used extensively as electronic enclosures, machinery parts and renewable energy system parts due to their reliability and longevity.
Aluminium plates and blocks serve many important uses across industries, from structural support, heat dissipation, electrical conductivity and bridge building to bridge, offshore platform construction and heat exchanger design. Their strength-to-weight ratio, thermal conductivity properties as well as efficient energy transmission/storage capabilities contribute significantly towards technological advances and advancements.

Melting and Casting
Steel and alloying metals are loaded into an electric arc furnace. Once in the furnace, the metal is heated to a specific temperature above its melting point, usually in excess of 2800°F.
Forming
Most cast steel is formed by hot rolling—the slab, bloom, or billet is heated and passed through large rollers, stretching out the steel into a longer, thinner form.
Heat Treatment
Heat treatment strengthens rolled steel by recrystallizing the deformed microstructure. Most steel is heat treated by annealing.
Cutting or Machining
Steel is cut to a specified shape and size. The steel can be sheared with circular knives, sawed with high-speed blades, or blanked with punches.
Finishing
Steels can be made with a wide variety of surface finishes. The chosen surface finish is not purely aesthetic. The type of finish is determined by the intended application.
