Aluminium is one of the most versatile metals in the world. When you look at fabrication, there are lots of options. You can choose semi-finished products like sheets and bars ready for processing into final parts. Or, in some cases you can choose the latter ready to use. At Brindley Metals we offer a large selection of both options. One we have is aluminium rolled plate rings in 5083 (H111).
Cutting
One thing that really helps boost the usability of aluminium is there are lots of ways to cut it to size. For example, you can use traditional methods like sawing or guillotining or opt for something more precise like laser or water jet.
It is important to think carefully about the cutting method you are using here. Ideally you want to choose a process that generates very little heat. That will ensure there is no alteration in the aluminium’s properties. In addition, you will need to look at things like accuracy and production time.
One advantage of cutting plate to create rings is you can produce seamless ones. They have an advantage over welded products because there are no breaks in the material. On top of that, the plates should be consistent in terms of thickness and surface finish.
Why choose aluminium rings?
The aluminium rolled plate rings in 5083 (H111) we supply are available in a variety of sizes. They have excellent characteristics so they can suit various needs.
The metal itself offers a lot of benefits here. For starters, it is strong, durable, and light with a low density. In addition, it has great corrosion resistance.
Aluminium rings are especially good for high stress applications. The exceptional durability is fantastic here. It means the metal can offer advantages over many other materials, including steel.
Another important thing to note here is you can save a lot of time and money by ordering the rings ready to use. It will save the fabrication and finishing that would be necessary if you order plate and create them yourself.
Uses
Aluminium rolled plate rings in 5083 (H111) have lots of uses. The alloy has a solid reputation for its ability to perform in extreme environments. As a result, you can find many people using the rings for marine applications (including parts that are in contact with seawater). They are a common sight on drilling rigs, vessels, and more.
The properties that make these aluminium rings great for marine use also mean they are an excellent option for chemical applications. They can perform well in things like storage and processing systems.
The 5083 (H111) aluminium is also a really good choice for a wide array of vehicles. For example, you can find it in different types of aircraft, trains, cars, and more. The low density and high strength is key here. Plus, aerospace environments can put a great deal of stress on parts. Aluminium is able to withstand it.
