冷轧铝板

I. Material Properties and Manufacturing Process

1. Definition and Classification
Cold-rolled aluminum plate refers toCold rolling processAluminum and aluminum alloy sheets produced at rolling temperatures below the recrystallization temperature, featuringHigh Precision, High Strength和Premium surface finishfeatures.

• Alloy system：

  • 1系纯铝（Al 99.0%~99.9%）：低成本、耐腐蚀，用于包装、建筑装饰；

  • 3 series Al-Mg(Like 3003, 3103): Lightweight, tensile strength ≥100 MPa; used in automotive and aerospace.

  • 6系 Al-Mg-Si(Such as 6061, 6063): High strength (≥270 MPa), heat-treatable; used for structural components.

  • 7 series is Al-Zn-Mg-Cu（如7075）：超高强度（≥570 MPa），用于航空航天紧固件。

2. Cold Rolling Process

1. 熔炼与铸造：

• Ingredient melting (Al 95% + alloying elements) → Vacuum degassing → Casting into T6 ingots;

• Hot rolling billet：

  • Ingot heated to 450°C~530°C → hot rolled into slabs (thickness 10~30 mm);

• Cold forming：

  • 多道次轧制The slab is precision-rolled from room temperature through 4 to 20 rolling mills to the target thickness of 0.1mm~5mm, with accuracy controlled within ±0.01mm.

  • Tension ControlApply 0.5%~5 MN/m tension during rolling to relieve internal stress.

• 热处理与矫直：

  • Solution treatment(e.g., 6061 alloy: 530°C × 30 min) →age hardening（160℃×12h）→ 矫直至平整度≤0.05mm/m；

• 表面处理：

  • Anodizing(Film thickness: 10~20 μm; Corrosion resistance improved by 5x)

  • Chemical PassivationorFluorocarbon Coating(Corrosion resistance ≥ 2000 hours in salt spray test).
