Generally speaking, any aluminium panel between about 0.2mm to 6.5mm thick is usually considered an aluminium sheet, whereas thinner gauge products than this would typically be classified and sold as foils. Thicker gauges than 6.5mm (roughly a quarter of an inch) are most often referred to as aluminium plate.

Can aluminum sheets rust?

Does Aluminium Corrode? While aluminium doesn't rust, it does corrode. The aluminium oxide coating is highly resistant and renews itself if damaged keeping the metal relatively safe from corrosion. But some factors can cause the coat to become unstable, thus exposing the metal.

Is aluminum sheet metal strong?

Although aluminum sheet metal is lightweight, it is also quite strong at the same time. Because of its strength, combined with its lightweight feature, it is highly useful in various industrial applications.
