Smiths Advanced Metals is one of the leading suppliers of aluminium plates.
Aluminium has various properties, such as corrosion resistance, ductility, electrical conductivity, lightness, machinability, thermal conductivity, strength, and workability.
We stock an extensive range of aluminium alloy plates to meet your engineering needs. We offer our products in a wide range of incremental sizes and thicknesses, resulting in material supply closer to your size requirements. Our plates come in a broad range of grades as well.
Our aluminium plates support all kinds of market applications. We have reserved production capacity with leading mills to offer products from stock or expedited service to accommodate additional requirements.
Aluminium plate production begins with the roiling process where vast, pre-heated ingots are passed through rollers.
The rolling process forces the material into thinner forms such as plate, sheet and foil. The products are then softened in a furnace in readiness for cold rolling.
Subsequent heat treatment increases the mechanical properties of the finished plate.
