Aluminum sheets can be used in different sectors thanks to the multiple properties of this material: lightness, high conductivity, ductility, high resistance to corrosion, sustainability. Due to its characteristics, aluminum is often used in the building industry to create different types of roofing, walls, railings, internal and external facades. In particular, this material is used in the construction market as it can be easily lacquered, painted, anodized, printed, engraved and coated.

According to the latest Global Market Insights Inc. report, aluminium sheets market and more generally the global aluminum market was estimated at $150 billion in 2020 and is slated to surpass $210 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 5% from 2021 to 2027.

Aluminium sheets can be formed and welded into several shake. Among the various processes that can be applied there is the embossing, an ancient technique already known to the Greeks, which found its maximum splendor during the Renaissance. Obviously at the time this technique was used on the facades of buildings and palaces, but now it is also used for other purposes thanks to the application on other materials, including aluminum. This is possible thanks to its many features including ease of fabrication.

An embossed sheet indicates an originally bare aluminum sheet on which a design or texture in relief has been imprinted: veins, pores, marks, geometric figures and so on. Usually this process is made on fabrics, paper, leather, wood, rubber and obviously aluminum thin sheets.

Aluminium sheet is a very versatile product, not only for the characteristics that it can be given in the cold and hot rolling mill, but also because of its suitability to a wide range of applications and processes. Its surface can be treated in many ways: painted, plated, polished, colored, coated, laminated, anodized, etched or textured.

According to the Global Aluminum Plate & Sheet Market Research Report 2020 report, published by Market.com, in coming years aluminum sheet sector will change thanks to the technological innovations...

Aluminium foils and sheets are used in multiple sectors and markets. But, for each field of application thickness, alloys and shapes change according to customers’ needs and the use of final product.

Sheets and foils are the most widely used form of aluminium because they can be formed into a lot of shapes using different technologies. They’re found in all of industry's major markets: packaging, transportation, building, home appliances, industrial applications.

Aluminium sheets are among the most widely used types of materials today. This happens thanks to some specific properties that make them very deployed across an enormous variety of industrial, agricultural and manufacturing applications.

The most common use of aluminium sheets include transportation, construction and aerospace. They are used particularly in these sectors because of them unbeatable strength to weight ratio: aluminium is indeed a very light material. In addition, it’s an excellent heat and electricity conductor and, it is particularly useful for applications where it is exposed to corroding agents because of its anticorrosive property.
