Product Details
6mm thick aluminium sheet is a medium-thickness aluminum plate, widely used in construction, fabrication, transportation, and industrial engineering. It offers a good balance between strength, weight, and machinability, making it one of the most commonly used thickness levels in aluminum plate products.
1. Position of 6mm Aluminium Sheet in Thickness Classification
Aluminium products are generally divided into three categories:
- Foil: 0.006 – 0.2 mm
- Thin Sheet: 0.2 – 3 mm
- Medium Sheet / Plate: 3 – 6 mm
- Thick Plate: 6 mm and above
👉 6mm aluminium sheet is located at the transition point between sheet and plate, often used as a structural-grade material.
2. Common Thickness Range in Industrial Supply
Although the focus is 6mm, aluminium sheets are typically supplied in a full thickness range:
| Category | Thickness Range | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Thin sheet | 0.5 – 2 mm | Decorative panels, light fabrication |
| Medium sheet | 2 – 6 mm | General engineering use |
| Thick plate | 6 – 50 mm | Structural and industrial use |
| Heavy plate | 50 – 200+ mm | Heavy engineering, machining blocks |
3. Standard Size of 6mm Aluminium Sheet
Common Width Options
| Width (mm) | Usage |
|---|---|
| 1000 mm | Small fabrication parts |
| 1220 mm | Standard industrial size |
| 1250 mm | Export standard size |
| 1500 mm | Structural applications |
| 2000 mm | Large engineering components |
Common Length Options
| Length (mm) | Usage |
|---|---|
| 2000 mm | Standard sheet size |
| 2500 mm | General fabrication |
| 3000 mm | Structural use |
| 6000 mm | Industrial large parts |
4. Common Alloy Grades for 6mm Aluminium Sheet
6mm aluminium sheet is available in multiple alloy systems depending on application:
- 1000 series (1050, 1060): Pure aluminum, high corrosion resistance
- 3000 series (3003): General-purpose sheet metal
- 5000 series (5052, 5083): Marine-grade, high corrosion resistance
- 6000 series (6061, 6082): Structural and engineering use
- 7000 series (7075): High-strength aerospace applications
