Aluminum Strip For Name Plates

Aluminum strip for name plates typically possess good corrosion resistance, ease of processing, and a certain level of strength. Commonly used grades include 1060, 1100, and 3003 aluminum strips, suitable for both outdoor and indoor use.

Common grades of aluminum strip for name plates:

– 1060 aluminum strip:

A pure aluminum strip with an aluminum content as high as 99.6%, it has good formability and high corrosion resistance, and is relatively inexpensive, making it suitable for nameplates where high strength requirements are not critical. It is usually produced in the O-state (soft state), facilitating stamping, printing, and other processing techniques, and can be made into nameplates of various shapes.

– 1100 aluminum strip:

Offers good formability and corrosion resistance, with slightly higher strength than 1060, suitable for nameplates requiring a certain structural strength. Applications include nameplates for food industry equipment, identification of welded components, and heat exchanger labels. For example, safety warning nameplates on food processing equipment must meet hygiene standards, and 1100 aluminum strip is widely used due to its non-toxicity and corrosion resistance.

– 3003 aluminum strip:

This is an aluminum alloy strip with manganese as the main alloying element. Its strength is slightly higher than 1060 aluminum strip, while also possessing good corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability. In nameplate production, the H18 and H24 hard states of 3003 aluminum strip are often used for nameplates requiring a certain degree of hardness and rigidity, such as outdoor signs.

Specifications of aluminum strip for name plates:

The thickness of the aluminum strip is generally between 0.12-6.0mm, with 0.5-1.0mm being commonly used for nameplate production. Width can be customized according to actual needs, with common widths ranging from 20-2600mm.

– Surface treatment:

To improve the aesthetics and durability of the nameplates, the aluminum strip is usually subjected to surface treatments such as anodizing, electrophoretic coating, and electrostatic spraying. Single-sided or double-sided coating can also be applied to prevent surface scratches during processing and transportation.

– Processing performance:

Aluminum strip has excellent processing performance, allowing for the creation of text, patterns, and other information on its surface through processes such as stamping, engraving, screen printing, and etching. For example, stamping can produce nameplates with a raised or recessed texture, while screen printing can be used to print colored logos and text.

– Application areas:

Nameplates made of aluminum strip are widely used in industrial equipment, machinery, electronic products, traffic signs, and corporate signage.

Typical application scenarios of aluminum strip for name plates:

– Chemical industry:

1060 aluminum strip nameplates are resistant to acid and alkali corrosion and are used for marking reaction vessels and pipelines.

– Food industry:

1100 aluminum strip nameplates meet hygiene standards and are used for marking production line equipment.

– Electronic equipment:

0.2-0.5mm thin aluminum strip nameplates, after wire drawing, are used for mobile phone and computer casings.

– Outdoor facilities:

3003 aluminum strip nameplates, after anodizing, are used for traffic signs and warning signs for electrical equipment.

How to select aluminum strip for name plates:

Prioritize corrosion resistance: Choose 1060 or 1100 aluminum strip, suitable for humid and corrosive environments.

For applications requiring sufficient strength: Select 3003 aluminum strip, balancing strength and corrosion resistance.

For complex forming requirements: Select O soft aluminum strip to reduce processing difficulty.

For high-end appearance requirements: Select H hard temper aluminum strip, combined with brushing or anodizing processes to enhance texture.
