Aluminium Floor Plate Applications
Aluminium floor plates are mainly used for anti-slip flooring in industry, transportation (buses, trucks, ships), and architectural decoration. They are suitable for environments requiring resistance to seawater, pollution, and heavy wear.
- Industry: Flooring for walkways, ramps, docks, and platforms.
- Transportation: Truck beds, trailers, and vehicle steps.
- Architecture: Decorative flooring, stair treads, and structural components.
- Marine: Due to its corrosion resistance, it is used for ship decks and marine structures.
- Commercial: Retail spaces, exhibitions, and stages (e.g., interactive LED video displays for events).
Aluminium Floor Plate Advantages and Disadvantages
- Advantages: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, low maintenance cost, and versatile applications.
- Disadvantages: Higher cost compared to steel; limited formability of some alloys (e.g., 6061-T6).
Aluminium Floor Plate Selection Criteria
- Load requirements: For areas with high foot traffic, choose thicker plates (e.g., 2-3 mm).
- Environment: For corrosive environments, choose marine-grade alloys (e.g., 5086).
- Traction needs: Patterned plates (e.g., diamond pattern) can enhance anti-slip performance.
- Cost: 3003 is economical, while 6061 and 5086 are premium materials for heavy-duty applications.
