36'' wide aluminum coil stock is a common aluminum product with wide application and 36 inch width. One inch equals 25.4 mm, and 36 inches is approximately 914.4 mm. We BCM Alu is a leading aluminum coil stock supplier and offer 200,000 tons aluminum product annual.
Alloy types of 36 wide aluminum coil stock:
- 1000 Series:
Such as 1050, 1060, and 1100 aluminum, offer high corrosion resistance and good conductivity, making them suitable for packaging, construction, and electronic components.
- 3000 Series:
Such as 3003 and 3004 aluminum, offer excellent machinability and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for humid environments (such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and vehicle undercarriages).
- 5000 Series:
Such as 5052 and 5083 aluminum, aluminum-magnesium alloys (containing 3-5% magnesium) offer high strength and corrosion resistance. They are suitable for aviation, marine, and automotive structural parts.
- 6000 Series:
Such as 6061 and 6063 aluminum, aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloys offer excellent mechanical properties and weldability, making them suitable for building curtain walls and mechanical parts.
Specification of 36 wide aluminum coil stock:
- Thickness:
Aluminum coil stock thickness typically ranges from 0.020 inches (approximately 0.5 mm) to 0.125 inches (approximately 3.2 mm), with the specific thickness selected depending on application requirements.
- Coil Core Diameter:
Common sizes include 150 mm, 405 mm, 505 mm, 508 mm, and 510 mm.
- Temperature:
The temperature of aluminum refers to its strength and workability. Common tempers include:
H14: Strain-hardened with no additional heat treatment.
H24: Strain-hardened and partially annealed.
T6: Solution heat treated and artificially aged for high strength.
- Surface Treatment:
Aluminum coil can have various surface treatments, such as glossy, anodized, or painted, depending on application requirements. Common coatings include polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) coatings with a thickness of 25 microns or greater and polyester coatings with a thickness of 18 microns or greater. These coatings offer excellent weather and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for applications exposed to outdoor conditions, such as building exteriors. Wood grain transfer, brushing, and embossing can also be applied to meet various decorative needs. For example, wood grain 36-inch wide aluminum coil can be used for door and window frames in interior decoration.
36 inch wide aluminum coil stock is widely used in the market, primarily due to the excellent properties and versatility of aluminum. The following are some of its main application areas:
1. Construction Industry
- Exterior Wall and Roofing Materials: Aluminum coil is widely used in building exterior walls, roofs, and curtain wall systems due to its lightweight, corrosion resistance, and maintainability.
- Window Frames and Doors: Aluminum's strength and weather resistance make it an ideal material for window frames and doors.
2. Automotive Industry
- Body and Interior: Aluminum coil is used in automobile body structures and interior parts, and its lightweight properties improve fuel efficiency.
- Components: Many automotive components, such as radiators and chassis components, also use aluminum coil.
3. Manufacturing Industry
- Equipment Housings: Aluminum coil is used in the manufacturing of various equipment housings due to its good workability and aesthetic appearance.
- Mechanical Components: Aluminum coil can be used to manufacture internal and external components in some mechanical and electronic equipment.
4. Thermal Insulation
- As an outer layer of insulation material, such as the outer layer of air conditioning pipes, aluminum coils effectively protect the internal insulation due to their excellent corrosion resistance and moderate thermal insulation properties.
5. Electrical Industry
- Conductive Materials: Aluminum's conductivity makes it suitable for applications such as electrical connections and conductor coils.
6. Aerospace and Aviation
- Structural Parts: Due to its light weight and high strength, aluminum coils are also used in the aerospace industry, manufacturing parts of aircraft and spacecraft.
Due to aluminum's light weight, corrosion resistance, recyclability, and good processability, 36'' wide aluminum coil stock are widely used in a wide range of industries. With the increasing demand for lightweight and environmentally friendly materials, the market demand for aluminum coils is expected to continue to grow.
