About Aluminum

About Perforated Sheets

3003 aluminum stands up to outdoor use, as well as exposure to chemicals. It offers a good combination of strength, formability, and weldability. It's often used for storage tanks, heat exchangers, garage doors, and general sheet metal work.

PTFE-coated foil has a green PTFE coating on one side, which is slippery and allows it to be used as a release liner in manufacturing processes.

Bars are saw cut to the widths and lengths listed.

Metal Panels

Close off openings in structures while allowing air to pass through.

For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.

Expanded Panels—Raised

Expanded panels are more rigid than perforated panels and are for use when structural stability is important. They can be formed and welded; however, they are more difficult to cut than perforated panels. Raised panels have strands that overlap to provide a skid-resistant surface. Use them to create safety guards for equipment and machinery.

3003 aluminum is easier to form than 1100 aluminum. It's about half the weight of steel and resists corrosion in wet environments.

Expanded Panels—Flattened

Expanded panels are more rigid than perforated panels and are for use when structural stability is important. They can be formed and welded; however, they are more difficult to cut than perforated panels. Flattened panels begin as raised panels, then they're rolled to a smooth and flat finish. Use them to create protective enclosures, shelving, grilles, and baskets.

Aluminum Perforated Sheets

Aluminum is lightweight. These sheets have good corrosion resistance, weldability, and formability.

Grade 3003 aluminum is softer than Grade 5052, so it has better formability. With a good combination of formability, weldability, and strength, it’s often used for filters, fuel tanks, and general sheet metal work.
