Aluminum Clad Sheet

Aluminum clad panels are a rigid durable aluminum composite sheet consisting of two pre painted aluminum sheets ranging from 006 to 012 thick that are bonded to a solid polyethylene core.

Aluminum clad sheet.

This unique composition makes it approximately one half the weight of aluminum. Not all aircraft sheet aluminum is clad especially those alloy sheets from which small brackets gussets and fittings are made. No guarantee against scratches is possible due to the handling r. Corrosion resistance and machinability are rated as fair though the addition of chromium provides good stress corrosion cracking resistance in 7075 aluminum sheet products.

2024t3 alclad aluminum sheet aluminum alloy sheet is sold in the thicknesses and sheet sizes shown in the table. Minimum sheet size available is 2 x 4. The pure aluminum is very soft and fabrication processes would severely damage or destroy the clad surfaces. Alclad is a corrosion resistant aluminium sheet formed from high purity aluminium surface layers metallurgically bonded rolled onto to high strength aluminium alloy core material.

Order by part number. It has a melting point of about 500 degrees celsius or 932 degrees fahrenheit. As with alloy 2024 alloy 7075 is available in bare form or in clad alclad to offer even further protection from corrosion.
