Aluminum Clad Steel Plate Aluminum Steel Clad Plate

Overview of Aluminum Clad Plate

Aluminum steel clad plate is a clad material with high strength and good toughness. Its appearance dramatically improves the bearing capacity and seismic performance of buildings. Aluminum has low density, high plasticity, corrosion resistance, easy processing, wear resistance, and electrical conductivity. In contrast, steel has high strength, good plasticity and toughness, and sound economy, but it is not corrosion resistant. Aluminum steel-clad plates are a combination of the two materials. A material that combines advantages.

 Features of Aluminum Clad Plate

The features of aluminum steel clad plates are: Light weight: The weight of the aluminum steel clad plate is only about 1/3 of the traditional pure aluminum plate, so it can significantly reduce the load of the building and reduce the structural cost. Corrosion resistance: The surface of the aluminum steel-clad plate has good corrosion resistance, which can effectively prevent the erosion of buildings by corrosive gases such as acid rain and salt spray.High strength: Aluminum steel-clad plates have very high strength and can be made into various structural parts or parts with complex shapes, uneven thickness, and large loads.High-temperature resistance: Aluminum steel-clad plates can withstand high temperatures up to 1000°C, so they are instrumental in many high-temperature applications.Wear resistance: The wear resistance of aluminum steel-clad plates is perfect; it can effectively reduce friction, reduce wear, and prolong the service life of buildings.Fatigue resistance: Due to the low elastic modulus and good toughness (elongation more significant than 25%) of the aluminum/steel clad plate, it has good shock resistance and a good absorption effect on impact loads..

Production Method of Aluminum Steel Clad Plate

Aluminum-steel clad plates are typically produced using explosion bonding or roll bonding. In explosion bonding, a high-energy explosion forces the aluminum and steel layers together under extreme pressure, creating a strong metallurgical bond at the interface. In roll bonding, the metals are heated and passed through rollers under high pressure to achieve bonding. Both methods need surface area preparation (cleansing and degreasing) to guarantee optimum attachment. Post-bonding, the plates might undergo warm treatment to improve bond toughness and mechanical properties. These approaches make certain excellent bonding top quality, light-weight attributes, and rust resistance for commercial applications.

Storage Condition of Aluminum Steel Clad Plate

Aluminum-steel clad plates should be stored in a dry, clean, and well-ventilated environment to prevent moisture absorption and corrosion. Ideal storage temperature is between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). Avoid exposure to high humidity, direct sunlight, or corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, or salt spray. Use protective packaging (e.g., VCI film or desiccants) to shield the plates from oxidation and contamination. Store them horizontally on flat racks or pallets to avoid deformation and ensure proper airflow. Regularly inspect for signs of corrosion, especially at the edges or bonding interface. Proper storage ensures the material retains its structural integrity, lightweight properties, and performance.

 5 FAQs of Aluminum Steel Clad Plate

Q1

What is the manufacturing process of aluminum composite panels?

Answer: The manufacturing process of aluminum composite panels mainly includes steps such as pretreatment of aluminum panels, material compounding, hot press forming, cutting and surface treatment. The aluminum plate needs to go through steps such as cleaning, degreasing, chemical treatment, etc., and then combined with other materials through adhesives, and then hot-pressed to achieve the required shape and size.

Q2

What is the thermal insulation performance of aluminum composite panels?

Answer: The plastic layer in the aluminum composite panel provides good thermal insulation properties and can effectively prevent the transfer of heat. The type and thickness of the plastic layer, which can be customized as needed, determine its insulation properties.

Q3

What is the sound insulation performance of aluminum composite panels?

Answer: The plastic layer and adhesive in the aluminum composite panel can play a specific sound insulation role and reduce the transmission of sound. Its sound insulation performance depends on the thickness and structure of the composite panel, which can be selected according to specific need.

Q4

What is the corrosion resistance of aluminum composite panels?

Answer: The outer aluminum plate of the aluminum composite panel has good corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of the atmosphere, water, and chemical substances. However, the plastic layer may be affected by UV rays, chemicals, other factors, and age, so appropriate protective measures need to be taken.

Q5

What is the price of aluminum composite panels?

Answer: The rate of aluminum composite panels varies depending on factors such as brand name, spec, and quality. Because of its distinct production process and application fields, its cost is usually more significant. Nevertheless, considering its excellent performance and a vast array of applications, its price/performance ratio is still reasonably high.
