The price of 5754 aluminum checkered plate sheet is higher than alu checker plates of most alloys, except for 6061. 5754 aluminum checkered plate is an anti-skid hard aluminum plate with a strong corrosion resistance. It’s a little softer than 5083, for it contains less magnesium. For the same reason it boasts a better tensile strength and elongation. 5754 is a popular alloy of the Al-Mg series, featured by mature process and relatively low cost. The hardness of its checker plates gets improved, for the embossed patterns act as extra force against exterior tearing or bending force. Regular patterns for the plate include big 5 bar, small 5 bar, diamond, leaf, 3 bar, 1 bar etc. The prices of 5754 plates with these patterns are more or less the same. If you need special patterns, the price would be higher. At present the price is around $2500/mt for regular specifications.
However, 5754 aluminum checkered plate sheet price varies from supplier to supplier, time to time and specification to specification. Each supplier gives quotations based on its own fabrication cost, which takes account of machine cost, power cost, manual cost, technology cost and even raw material loss cost. And the profit gaps pursued by different suppliers are varied, too. That’s why you get various prices at the same time from different suppliers of the same region. Experienced purchasers understand that the price of all metal plates, including checkered 5754 aluminum plate, fluctuates daily since it’s connected with the stock market.
