Aluminum sheets are usually available in a wide range of thicknesses, depending on the type of aluminum alloy and the needs of the application. In general, aluminum sheets can range in thickness from a few millimeters to tens of millimeters. Common thicknesses include 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm, 6.0mm, 8.0mm, 10.0mm, 12.0mm, 15.0mm, 20.0mm, 25.0mm and so on.
Below is a detailed aluminum sheet thickness chart covering the range of thicknesses that aluminum sheets of different categories, applications and alloy types may have:
| Category/Use/Alloy Type | Thickness range (mm) | Example/common thickness (mm) | Note |
| Aluminum sheet for general industrial use | 0.2-500 | Multiple specifications available | Thickness customized according to specific needs |
| Ultra-thin aluminum sheet | <0.2 | – | Usually used for aluminum foil products, such as packaging, electrical appliances, etc. |
| Thin aluminum sheet | 0.2-6.0 | 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, etc. | Widely used in construction, packaging, electronics, etc. |
| Regular/Medium Aluminum sheet | 6.0-25.0 | 10, 15, 20, etc. | Used for occasions that require certain strength and load-bearing capacity. |
| Thick Aluminum Plate | 25.0-200 | 50, 100, etc. | Used in heavy structures, ships, aerospace, etc. |
| Extra thick aluminum plates | >200 | – | customized for special requirements, such as large containers, heavy equipment, etc. |
| Pure aluminum sheet(e.g. 1050, 1060) | 0.1-20 | 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, etc. | Good corrosion resistance and plasticity. |
| Alloy Aluminum Sheet(e.g. 3003, 5052) | 0.5-260 | A variety of specifications are available | According to the different alloy compositions, it has different mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. |
| Aluminum Tread Plate | 1.0-10 | 0 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, etc. | With non-slip, beautiful and other characteristics, commonly used in the floor, wall decoration. |
| Aluminum Jacketing Sheet | 0.3-0.9 | 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, etc. | Used for building thermal insulation, lightweight and good thermal insulation performance is required. |
| Curtain Wall Aluminum Sheet | 0.95-2.85 | Customized according to the design requirements | Commonly used in architectural curtain walls, requiring high flatness and good weather resistance. |
Different application scenarios will choose different thicknesses of aluminum sheets, for example:
– Architectural decoration: thinner aluminum sheets (e.g. 1.0mm to 3.0mm) are usually used.
– Aerospace: medium to thick aluminum sheets (e.g., above 6.0mm) may be required.
– Mechanical manufacturing: Depending on the needs of the specific part, aluminum sheets ranging from 1.0mm to 20.0mm may be used.
When choosing the thickness of aluminum sheet, you can check the aluminum sheet thickness chart offered above, in addition to considering the actual usage requirements, factors such as material strength, weight, cost, and processing should also be taken into account.
