With an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and natural corrosion resistance, aluminium sheet metal is popular for a broad range of applications. Aluminium sheet and plate are used in everything from aerospace and aircraft manufacturing to beverage packaging, cryogenic storage applications to siding, gutters, and roofing for homes.
Aluminium Plate vs. Aluminium Sheet: Aluminium sheet and aluminium plate are essentially the same; the only true distinction is in their respective thickness. Aluminium sheet is any aluminium sheet metal thicker than foil but thinner than 6mm; it comes in many forms including diamond plate, expanded, perforated and painted aluminium sheet. Aluminium plate is any aluminium sheet metal that is thicker than 6mm.
