Description
The advantage properties of aluminum alloy have light weight, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, highly corrosion resistant and ductility.
Aluminum alloy is soft and are usually alloyed with copper, zinc, magnesium, silicon, manganese and lithium to increase strength. Aluminum alloy is exposed to air that instantly forms an anti-oxidant coating to protect products. Aluminum alloy is one of the lightest metals, the application of products ranges from precision technology to daily commodities.

Application
Aluminum sheet or plate is used in the various applications, including aerospace, military, transportation, etc. Aluminum sheet or plate also used for tanks in many food industries, because some aluminum alloys become tougher at low temperatures.
| Type | Application |
| Food Packaging | Beverage can end, can tap, cap stock, etc. |
| Construction | Curtain walls, cladding, ceiling, heat insulation and venetian blind block, etc. |
| Transportation | Automobile parts, bus bodies, aviation and ship-building and air-cargo containers, etc. |
| Electronic Appliance | Electrical appliances, telecommunication equipment, PC board drilling guide sheets, lighting and heat radiating materials, etc. |
| Consumer Goods | Parasols and umbrellas, cooking utensils, and sports equipment, etc. |
| Other | Military, color coated aluminum sheet |
