Electrical and Electronics:
Manufacturers often use 1200 Mill Finish Aluminum Sheets for manufacturing electrical conductors, wires, and cables due to their high electrical conductivity.
Power transmission, distribution systems, and electrical components, where conductivity is critical, can incorporate them.
Heat Transfer and HVAC:
Due to their excellent thermal conductivity, manufacturers use 1200 Mill Finish Aluminum Sheets in heat exchangers, radiators, and air conditioning units.
Industries, such as the automotive industry for radiators, utilize these sheets in applications requiring efficient heat transfer.
Reflective Surfaces:
Various applications, including lighting fixtures, reflectors, and decorative elements, utilize the natural reflectivity of aluminum.
The mill finish provides a base for creating reflective surfaces without additional coatings.
Cookware and Kitchen Appliances: In the manufacturing of cookware and kitchen appliances such as pots, pans, and utensils, manufacturers choose 1200 aluminum for its corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity.
Packaging: Aluminum sheets are often used for moisture and corrosion protection items. People favor the 1200 series for its corrosion-resistant properties.
Construction: While 1200 series aluminum is not as ordinary in structural applications due to its lower strength, People may use it in non-structural elements, such as decorative architectural features, roofing, and cladding.
Reflective Insulation: Aluminum sheets can be used in reflective insulation systems, such as radiant barriers, to reflect heat and improve building energy efficiency.
Automotive Components: Certain automotive components, such as heat shields, reflectors, and decorative trim, may incorporate 1200 aluminum due to its reflective properties and lightweight nature
Marine and Nautical Applications: The corrosion resistance of 1200 aluminum makes it suitable for marine and nautical applications, including boat components and equipment.
1. O Temper (Annealed):
Application: High-Strength Structural Applications: Various industries use T6 and T651 tempers for their high strength in structural components.
Examples:
Electrical and Electronics: Industries use annealed aluminum sheets in electronic components, enclosures, and panels due to their lightweight and formability. They are also suitable for electrical conductors, wires, and cables.
Packaging: Manufacturers use annealed sheets to produce packaging materials for items that require protection from moisture and corrosion.
Heat Exchangers: Manufacturers use the O temper in heat exchangers and radiator fins for cooling systems in HVAC and automotive applications.
2. H Tempers (Strain-Hardened or Cold-Worked):
Application: This temper involves cold working the aluminum sheet to increase strength and hardness. It is typically represented by an "H" followed by one or more digits, indicating the degree of hardening. For example, H12, H14, H16, H18, and so on, with increasing hardness levels.
Examples:
Automotive Components: The automotive industry often uses H tempers for structural and load-bearing components requiring increased strength and hardness.
Aerospace: Aircraft components that require high strength and durability use H-temper alloys.
Marine Industry: In the marine sector, H-temper alloys provide corrosion resistance and strength for ship components.
Architectural and Construction: Some architectural and construction elements may use H tempers for added strength and rigidity.
3.T Tempers (Heat-Treated):
Application: This temper involves heat treatment processes to achieve specific mechanical properties and characteristics. It is typically represented by a "T" followed by one or more digits, indicating the particular heat treatment process and resulting properties. For example, T4, T6, T651, and T7351 are common heat-treated tempers.
Examples:
Aerospace: In the aerospace industry, T-temper alloys serve structural components that demand specific mechanical properties and durability.
Machined Parts: They use T tempers in applications where machinability and dimensional stability are essential.
High-Strength Structural Applications: Various industries use T6 and T651 tempers for their high strength in structural components.

Applications: People frequently use another standard width for aluminum sheets.
Examples:
Heat Exchangers: Manufacturers can employ these sheets in producing heat exchangers and radiator fins for cooling systems in HVAC and automotive applications.
Reflective Surfaces: Intermediate-width sheets are suitable for creating reflective surfaces in lighting fixtures, reflectors, and decorative elements.
3. Standard Widths (e.g., 900-1220 mm):
Applications: Some suppliers may offer sheets in this width.
Examples:
Electrical Conductors: Thanks to their high electrical conductivity, standard-width sheets such as wires and cables are used for electrical conductors.
Kitchen Appliances: They may produce standard-sized kitchen appliances like cookware, pots, and pans.
Packaging: Manufacturers often utilize standard widths to produce packaging materials for items that require protection from moisture and corrosion.
4. Wider Widths (e.g., 1220 mm and above):
Applications: Wider aluminum sheets are available for specific applications.
Examples:
Construction Cladding: People use them for architectural cladding, roofing, and siding in the construction industry.
Marine Components: Wider sheets suit marine and nautical applications, including boat components and equipment.
1. Thin Thickness (e.g., 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm):
Applications: This is a skinny aluminum sheet, suitable for lightweight applications and where flexibility is required.
Examples:
Electronics: Manufacturers use thin aluminum sheets to manufacture electronic components, enclosures, and panels due to their lightweight and formability.
Packaging: Thin sheets are suitable for packaging materials where lightweight, corrosion resistance and formability are important.
2. Medium Thickness (e.g., 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm):
Applications: A frequently used thickness in various applications such as electronics, architecture, and packaging.
Examples:
Architectural Trim: In architectural applications, people can use medium-thickness sheets for decorative trim, fascia, and architectural details.
