Aluminum mirror sheet is the aluminum sheet processed by rolling, polishing and other methods to make its surface appear like a mirror. It is widely used in lighting lamp reflectors and lamp decoration, solar heat-collecting reflective materials, interior building decoration,etc.
For meeting the requirements of wide application, aluminium mirror sheet also have rich colors, which is generally divided into basic color and metallic color. The basic colors have: red, orange, gold, green, cyan,purple, black,etc. The metallic colors have: titanium gold, champagne, red copper, rose gold, stainless steel color,etc.
Which kinds of aluminum alloys are suitable for manufacturing mirror finish aluminum sheet? There are two main kinds: 5xxx aluminum alloy sheet and pure aluminum sheet. The classic ones of 5xxx aluminum sheet is 5005 aluminum sheet and 5657 aluminum sheet. 5 Series aluminum plate belongs to the more commonly used alloy.
It is often used in aviation, such as aircraft fuel tanks and also widely used in conventional industries. It belongs to the hot-rolled aluminum plate series and can be used for deep oxidation processing, therefore it is a good choice for making mirror anodized aluminum sheet.
The classic pure aluminum plates are 1050, 1070 and 1085 aluminum sheet. Among all the aluminum plate series, 1 series aluminum alloy has the most aluminium content, which is over 99.0%. Its production process is relatively simple and its aluminum sheet price is relatively cheap. It is the most commonly used serieds in conventional industry.
You can make a preliminary screening from these two aspects when you decide to buy polished aluminium sheet. Certainly, there are also other factors influencing the quality of mirror polished aluminum sheet like processing craft. We will discuss this topic in the following articles.
