Use of 1100 aluminum sheet in the aviation field specified by AMS 4001 and AMS 4003
Aircraft skins and cladding panels: these aluminum sheets are commonly used in the fabrication of aircraft fuselage skins and cladding panels to provide the necessary strength and rigidity while remaining sufficiently lightweight.
Aircraft interior components: aluminum sheets are also used to manufacture aircraft interior components, such as seat brackets, partitions, etc., which require strength and rigidity as well as light weight.
Aircraft ground equipment: aluminum plates are also widely used in the manufacture of aircraft ground equipment, such as ground lifting equipment, maintenance equipment, etc.
Aerospace equipment: AMS 4001 1100-0 Sheet and Plate and AMS 4003 1100-H14 Sheet and Plate are also used in the manufacture of aerospace equipment, such as satellite casings, engine compartment covers, etc.
Characteristics of AMS 4001 1100-0 and AMS 4003 1100-H14 sheet and plate
Lightweight and high-strength: aluminum is a relatively lightweight metal, and 1100 aluminum alloy has high strength in different states, which is beneficial to reduce the overall weight of aircraft and other aircraft, and improve performance and fuel efficiency.
Good machinability: 1100 aluminum alloy has good machinability, including forming, cutting, welding and riveting, etc., making it suitable for the manufacture of various complex shapes and parts requiring precision.
Good corrosion resistance: aluminum forms an oxide surface layer in the atmosphere, which has certain corrosion resistance. In addition, 1100 aluminum alloy has good oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, and can be used for some aircraft components working in harsh environments.
Easy to color and paint: the surface of aluminum can be colored and painted by anodizing and other methods to make it more beautiful in appearance and increase its corrosion resistance.
Precautions for AMS 4001 1100-0 and AMS 4003 1100-H14 Sheet and Plate aluminum sheets
Prevent mechanical damage: 1100 aluminum alloy is a relatively soft metal, so care should be taken to prevent mechanical damage during transportation, processing and use, such as collisions, abrasions, scratches, etc.
Avoid corrosion: although 1100 aluminum alloy has good corrosion resistance, it may still be corroded in certain environments. During use, care should be taken to avoid contact between the aluminum plate and corrosive media, such as acidic, alkaline, and chloride-containing media.
Correct processing and installation: 1100 aluminum alloy has good machinability and weldability, but care should be taken to follow the correct process and standards during processing and installation to avoid quality problems caused by improper processing.
Select the appropriate state and specification of aluminum plate: 1100 aluminum alloy plates in different states have different physical and mechanical properties, and the state and specification suitable for specific applications should be selected to meet the use requirements.
AMS 4001 1100-0 and AMS 4003 1100-H14 sheet and plate aluminum sheet purchasing considerations
