1050A Aluminium Alloy Sheet Packing

The sheet is wrapped in a protective polyethylene film and secured between rigid corrugated boards to minimise physical and environmental damage during transit. Moisture-resistant packaging prevents oxidation, and each shipment is accompanied by batch testing reports. Sheets are stored in a controlled, low-humidity facility to preserve surface integrity. Custom packaging options, including sealed and cushioned configurations, are available per order requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the controlled rolling process affect the sheet’s mechanical properties?
A1: The controlled rolling process refines the grain structure, which improves uniformity in mechanical strength and enhances formability. Process parameters such as rolling temperature and speed are monitored to minimise internal stresses and ensure consistent material behaviour during fabrication.

Q2: What measures are taken to ensure the sheet’s surface quality before shipment?
A2: Surface quality is verified using optical microscopy and ultrasonic thickness scanning. These inspections detect surface irregularities and thickness deviations, ensuring that only sheets meeting stringent quality criteria are dispatched for applications requiring high precision.

Q3: Can the sheet be customised for specific industrial applications?
A3: Yes, customisation options include adjustments in sheet dimensions, thickness, and surface finishes. Detailed process control data supports clients in optimising material properties for applications that require precise tolerance and performance consistency.
