.125 aluminum sheet overview
.125 aluminum sheet is a thin sheet of aluminum that has a thickness of 0.125 inches or 3.175 mm. It is also known as 1/8 inch aluminum sheet or 8 gauge aluminum sheet. .125 aluminum sheet is a common material for various applications, such as construction, aerospace, automotive, marine, and more.
.125 aluminum sheet has many characteristics that make it suitable for different purposes. Some of these characteristics are:
- Lightweight: .125 aluminum sheet has a low density of 2.7 g/cm$^3$, which means it is lighter than steel, copper, or brass. This makes it easier to transport, install, and handle.
- Corrosion-resistant: .125 aluminum sheet has a natural oxide layer that protects it from corrosion and rust. It can also be anodized, painted, or coated with other materials to enhance its resistance to various environments.
- Durable: .125 aluminum sheet has a high strength-to-weight ratio, which means it can withstand high loads and stresses without breaking or deforming. It also has good fatigue and impact resistance, which means it can endure repeated bending and vibration.
- Malleable: .125 aluminum sheet can be easily cut, bent, shaped, and formed into various designs and patterns. It can also be welded, soldered, brazed, or riveted with other metals or materials.
- Recyclable: .125 aluminum sheet is 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly. It can be reused and remelted without losing its quality or properties.
The composition of .125 aluminum sheet varies depending on the alloy and temper. Different alloys have different amounts of elements, such as magnesium, silicon, copper, zinc, manganese, etc., that affect the properties and performance of the sheet. Different tempers have different degrees of hardness, ductility, and elasticity, that affect the behavior and workability of the sheet.
Some of the common alloys and tempers of .125 aluminum sheet are:
- 1100-H14: This is a pure aluminum alloy with 99% aluminum content. It has excellent corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity. It is soft and ductile, and can be easily formed and worked. It is suitable for applications that require low strength, such as chemical equipment, food containers, and decorative parts.
- 3003-H14: This is an aluminum-manganese alloy with 1.2% manganese content. It has good corrosion resistance, especially to water and salt. It is medium-strength and ductile, and can be moderately formed and worked. It is suitable for applications that require moderate strength, such as roofing, siding, gutters, and fuel tanks.
- 5052-H32: This is an aluminum-magnesium alloy with 2.5% magnesium content. It has excellent corrosion resistance, especially to seawater and marine atmospheres. It is high-strength and moderately ductile, and can be moderately formed and worked. It is suitable for applications that require high strength, such as aircraft parts, marine equipment, pressure vessels, and automotive parts.
- 6061-T6: This is an aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy with 0.6% silicon and 1.0% magnesium content. It has good corrosion resistance, especially to alkaline and organic substances. It is high-strength and moderately ductile, and can be moderately formed and worked. It is suitable for applications that require high strength and good machinability, such as structural components, frames, fittings, and pipes.
