How Do I Form Aluminium Sheet?

Forming aluminium sheet involves shaping the sheet metal into the desired shape or profile. There are several methods for forming aluminum sheet, including:

1. Bending: Bending is a common method for forming aluminium sheet. A press brake is used to bend the sheet metal to the desired angle. The sheet is placed between a punch and die, and the punch pushes the sheet into the die to create the bend.
2. Rolling: Rolling is another method for forming aluminium sheet. A roller is used to press the sheet metal into the desired shape, such as a cylinder or cone.
3. Stamping: Stamping is a method for forming aluminium sheet into specific shapes or profiles. A stamping press is used to punch or cut the sheet metal into the desired shape.
4. Extrusion: Aluminium sheet can also be formed using extrusion, which involves pushing the sheet metal through a die to create a specific shape or profile.
5. Hydroforming: Hydroforming is a method for forming aluminium sheet that uses high-pressure fluid to shape the sheet metal.

It’s worth noting that the method chosen will depend on the complexity of the shape you want to form, the size and thickness of the sheet, and the volume of the production. Some methods are better suited for certain shapes and sizes than others. Additionally, it is important to use the right tools and equipment, and to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the aluminium sheet is not damaged during the forming process.

Do You Offer Larger Panels?

Yes we do. You can select full size panels (2m x 1m) if that better suits your requirement. 

Full panels of aluminium are used to create complete panels or surfaces, such as walls, roofs, or floors. These sheets can be used in a variety of applications, including construction, transportation, and industrial settings.

Full panels can be formed into a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on the specific application. They can be bent, rolled, stamped, extruded, or hydroformed to create the desired shape. They can also be cut, drilled, or punched to create openings for windows, doors, or other features.

These panels can be used for a wide range of construction projects, from commercial and industrial buildings to residential homes and sheds. They are lightweight, durable, and easy to install, making them a popular choice for many construction projects.

In transportation, full panels of aluminium sheet can be used for creating body panels, structures, or covers for vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses, or trains. They are corrosion resistant, durable and lightweight which makes them a good choice for this purpose.

In industrial settings, full panels of aluminium sheet can be used for creating structures, such as machine guards, conveyor covers, and enclosures. They are also used in many other industrial applications, such as food processing, packaging, and chemical processing.
