Understand what is 4×8 1/8 in aluminum sheet 4×8 sheet of 1/8 inch aluminum is a specification of aluminum sheet, with a length and width of 4 feet x 8 feet (about 1.22×2.44m) and a thickness of 1/8 inch (about 3.175 mm).
44×8 aluminum sheet is a large, thin, lightweight metal sheet with lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy-to-process product characteristics. Aluminum sheet metal 4×8 is commonly used in a variety of applications, including construction, automobiles, ships, and industrial manufacturing, because 4×8 sheet of aluminum has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and easy processing and manufacturing.
4×8 sheet of 1/8 inch aluminum price has a lot to do with the alloy model of the aluminum sheet, the surface treatment method, and the change of the exchange rate. What factors have the greatest impact on the price of 1/8 inch aluminum sheets 4×8?
The impact of different aluminum alloy models on prices Different types of aluminum alloys have different alloy compositions and performance characteristics. For example, the 1000 series (such as 1050, 1060) is industrial pure aluminum, with high aluminum content, easy to process and cheap; The 3000 series (such as 3003, 3004) is an aluminum-manganese alloy with better anti-rust function and higher price than the 1000 series; Higher performance alloys such as the 2000 series (such as 2A12, 2024) and the 7000 series (such as 7075) are more expensive due to their special alloy composition and excellent performance.

The impact of aluminum plate surface treatment on price is significant. Different surface treatment methods will increase different production costs, thus affecting the final price of aluminum plate. The impact of common surface treatment methods of aluminum plate on price:
Mechanical polishing: Mechanical polishing makes the surface of aluminum plate smooth, removes surface oxide film and scratches, and improves the brightness of aluminum plate through the action of grinding or polishing machinery. This treatment method is suitable for occasions requiring high surface finish, but it is relatively expensive because it requires professional equipment and a long processing time.
Chemical polishing: Chemical polishing uses the action of chemical substances to remove the oxide layer and impurities on the surface of aluminum plate, making its surface smooth and bright. The chemical polishing method is simple to operate and has obvious effects. It is particularly suitable for large-scale aluminum plate processing production lines. However, the cost of chemical polishing is also relatively high because it requires the use of specific chemical reagents and strict control conditions.
Electrolytic coloring: Electrolytic coloring is to form a dense oxide film on the surface of aluminum through the oxidant in the electrolytic solution, thereby achieving color change. This method can not only provide certain anti-corrosion properties, but also give aluminum plates a rich color selection. The cost of electrolytic coloring varies depending on factors such as the desired color, thickness and uniformity of the oxide film, but in general, it is more expensive than mechanical polishing and chemical polishing.
Spray coating: Spray coating is to spray a layer of paint on the surface of the aluminum plate to protect the surface of the aluminum plate from pollution, corrosion and ultraviolet radiation. The coating can be selected as a transparent paint or a colored paint as required to provide a variety of different surface effects. The cost of spray coating depends on factors such as the type and quality of the paint, the thickness of the coating and the coating process. High-quality paint and complex coating processes will increase costs.
Oxidation dyeing: Oxidation dyeing is a method of coloring the film formed on the surface of aluminum oxide by controlling the oxidation potential and dye reaction. This surface treatment method can provide higher wear resistance, weather resistance and rich color selection. However, the cost of oxidation dyeing is also relatively high because it requires precise control conditions and high-quality dyes.
