There’s no shortage of aluminum plate suppliers for global market now, but it’s not simple to pick quality sheets out of the confusing market. Buyers, desiring both quality and price, get trapped easily by cunning suppliers. Here we are going to share some tips for distinguish good quality aluminum plate from that of bad quality.
To judge the quality of an aluminum plate, you should first pay attention to the surface. Check whether the coated film is bright with normal gloss and whether there are obvious problems like cracks, fractures, abnormally colored areas or impurities. Some buyers believe that the thicker and stronger an aluminum plate is, the better it is. Manufacturers have their own skills to cater for this belief without increasing costs. They add extra coatings onto the surface, or adopt recycled aluminum alloys that contain metals of larger densities. Aluminum plates of this type have hard strength, enough thickness and most importantly, low price. Such an unreasonable competing method misleads many buyers who tend to make wrong judgement of normal prices in the market. Besides, recycled aluminum alloys contain large amounts of harmful chemicals. A simple way to avoid this problem is to check cross section of a sheet, by which you can see clearly the thicknesses of coatings and base boards.
