what is an aluminum 1/8 plate?
1 inch = 25.4 mm
1/8 inch = 3.175 mm
Therefore, the 1/8” aluminum plate is an aluminum plate with a thickness of 3.175 mm, and the aluminum plate of this thickness is very easy to cut.
Common aluminum plate thickness:
About 1mm: 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm
1mm-3mm: 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm
4mm-10mm: 4mm,5mm,6mm,8mm,10mm
1/8 inch aluminum plate weighs one square meter
1×1×0.003175×2.7×1000=8.5725kg

1/8 inch thick aluminum plate price
The aluminum materials used for the 1/8 inch thick aluminum plate price board are all aluminum alloys, and it is impossible to have pure aluminum. However, due to the difference in alloy content, the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys are different. The aluminum alloys currently used for 1/8 inch thick aluminum plates are roughly divided into five grades:
The first grade: is aluminum-magnesium alloy, which also contains part of manganese. The biggest advantage of this material is good oxidation resistance. At the same time, because of the content of manganese, it has a certain strength and rigidity. It is the price of a 1/8″ thick aluminum plate. The most ideal material. The aluminum processing performance of Huawei Aluminum Co., Ltd. is the most stable.
The second grade: is aluminum-manganese alloy, the strength, and stiffness of this material are slightly better than that of aluminum-magnesium alloy. However, the oxidation resistance is slightly lower than that of aluminum-magnesium alloys. If both sides are protected, it basically solves the disadvantage that its anti-oxidation ability is not as good as that of aluminum-magnesium alloy.

The third grade: is aluminum alloy, which has less manganese and magnesium content. Therefore, its strength and stiffness are significantly lower than those of aluminum-magnesium alloys and aluminum-manganese alloys. Because it is soft and easy to process, as long as it reaches a certain thickness, it can basically meet the basic flatness requirements of the price of a 1/8” thick aluminum plate. However, its oxidation resistance is obviously inferior to that of aluminum-magnesium alloys and aluminum-manganese alloys. Moreover, it is easy to deform during processing, transportation, and installation.
The fourth grade: is ordinary aluminum alloy, the mechanical properties of this material are not stable.
The fifth grade: The raw material of this kind of plate is that the aluminum processing factory melts the aluminum ingot into an aluminum plate, and does not control the chemical composition at all. Due to the uncontrolled chemical composition, the properties of these materials are unstable, resulting in the severe uneven surface of the product, deformation of the product, and easy oxidation of the material.
From the above grades of raw materials, it is not difficult for us to analyze the quality assurance of each 1/8 inch thick aluminum plate after forming. Ordinary consumers do not have a good understanding of the material of the original plate when purchasing aluminum gussets, and the easiest way to feel the strength and hardness of the aluminum plate is by hand.

Aluminum sheet plate standard export packing
- The aluminum plate is paperclip or laminated to ensure that the surface of the aluminum plate is intact and free of scratches;
- Plastic film ( HDPE, PVC, PE or PET etc ) protection or hard kraft paper wrapping is used to prevent moisture and rain to ensure that the aluminum plate is clean and free of dirt during transportation (each package has a moisture-proof desiccant to ensure the quality of our products in East China and South China, where there is more rain);
- Installed with wooden brackets and reinforced with steel straps to avoid collision during transportation and to ensure the geometry of the aluminum plate remains unchanged;
- For export products, we use wooden boxes and pallets with fumigation mark for packaging;
- We can also pack according to other packaging requirements of customers;
