Aluminium Plates: The Ultimate Guide
The aluminum plate is a popular metal that exhibits uniform thickness and are formed from ingots or coils of aluminum.
So what’s the grade? What’s the production process of these plates?
In this guide, we will show you details about all.
How Aluminium Plates Are Made?
1. Bauxite Mining
Aluminum begins as bauxite ore, which is rich in aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃).
Bauxite is mined, usually from open-pit mines in countries like Australia, Brazil, and Guinea.
2. Alumina Refining (Bayer Process)
The bauxite is refined using the Bayer Process:
Crushed bauxite is mixed with sodium hydroxide.
Under heat and pressure, the aluminum oxide dissolves, forming alumina (Al₂O₃) solution.
Insoluble impurities (red mud) are removed.
Alumina is precipitated out and then calcined at high temperatures to create a white powder.
3. Electrolytic Reduction (Hall–Héroult Process)
Alumina is converted to pure aluminum metal by electrolysis:
Alumina is dissolved in molten cryolite.
Electric current is passed through the mixture in large reduction cells.
Pure molten aluminum sinks to the bottom and is collected.
4. Casting
The molten aluminum is cast into large slabs (ingots) or billets.
These slabs form the raw material for sheet production.
5. Hot Rolling
The slabs are heated to ~500°C and passed through hot rolling mills.
This reduces the thickness and elongates the metal into thick sheets or coils.
6. Cold Rolling
The hot-rolled aluminum is cooled and then passed through cold rolling mills to reach final thickness.
Cold rolling improves surface finish, strength, and dimensional accuracy.
Thickness can range from several mm down to fractions of a mm (foil).
7. Heat Treatment (Optional)
Some aluminum sheets undergo annealing or other heat treatments to adjust hardness or ductility.
8. Surface Finishing
Sheets may be:
Anodized (for corrosion resistance and appearance),
Coated, painted, or embossed, depending on the application.
9. Cutting and Packaging
Sheets are cut into standard or custom sizes.
Finally, they are stacked or coiled, packed, and shipped for industrial or commercial use.
