1mm aluminium sheet price

The 1mm aluminium sheet price is neither uniform nor stable. As a matter of fact, there’s no “price” but “prices” for alu sheets of any given thickness, for the price of aluminum sheets is related to many factors.

The never changeable factors influencing the aluminum sheet price, are the alloy and the surface treatment methods. There are at least 8 series containing dozens of common alloys altogether, with the most popular alloys including 1050, 1060, 1070, 1100, 1200, 3003, 3004, 3005, 3104, 3105, 5005, 5052, 5083, 6061, 5182, 5754, 5454, 6082, 7005, 7105, 8011, 8021, 8079, 2024 and so on. Generally speaking, mill finish aluminum sheets beginning with the number “1” have the lowest prices, 3*** higher, 5*** even higher, and 7*** the highest. The price of 6*** is usually between 5*** and 6***, and 2*** is similar to 7***. 8*** is about the same as 5***. Regardless of the thickness of a sheet, 1mm aluminium sheet, 2mm aluminium sheet or 3mm aluminium sheet, its price is usually measured by metric tons. Only in rare cases it is measured by piece or square meter. Surface treatment methods make the price classification even more complicated. Regular methods include embossing, color coating, polishing and anodizing, and the prices get higher successively. Sometimes two methods are combined, which makes the price even higher. Therefore, you should first be clear about the alloy and surface of the sheet you need before asking for a price.

Other factors like the temper and purchasing time influence the 1mm aluminium sheet price, too. Some tempers take more manufacturing steps to realize, then it costs more. For example, H24 costs more than H14, and H44 than H24. The purchasing time is mainly related to economic policies and aluminum ingot price. If you are not sure about any of these factors above, just contact a supplier directly, and they will help to figure out what specification you really need.
