2 types of typical mirror aluminium sheets

Mirror aluminium sheet is processed from ordinary aluminium sheet, the following is an introduction to 2 types of aluminium sheet suitable for mirror processing.

Pure aluminium sheet: the common grades are 1060, 1050, 1010, 1070, etc. It is the aluminium sheet with the highest aluminium content, usually above 99%, and it is also the one with the most grades in all 8 series aluminium sheets. The production process of pure aluminium sheet is relatively simple and the price is the cheapest among all 8 series aluminium sheets. Pure aluminium is soft and can be bent and shaped, and the mirrored aluminium sheets are mostly used for various decoration projects.

The 5 series alloy aluminium plate is also a common grade of mirror aluminium plate, is the main alloy element of magnesium aluminium plate. 5 series aluminium plate magnesium content between 3-5%, also known as aluminum magnesium alloy, the main characteristics are low density, high tensile strength, high elongation rate. The weight of aluminium-magnesium alloy is lower than that of other series of aluminium sheets in the same area, and is widely used in automotive parts, sheet metal parts, mechanical parts, cars, aircraft fuel tanks, warships, submarines and containers. 5 series aluminium sheets are cast and rolled continuously, and are part of the hot-rolled aluminium sheet series, so they can be processed by oxidation. The panels of household appliances, electronic products and signage that we use every day need a mirror finish for better aesthetics, and the hardness and strength of 5-series aluminium sheets are more suitable for these industries than pure aluminium. Of course, in terms of price, 5-series aluminium sheets are also much higher than pure aluminium sheets.
