Aluminum sheet metal comes in a variety of thicknesses and weights in many different grades. Ryerson offers heat treatable aluminum sheet grades, like the popular 6061 aluminum alloy, that can be used for commercial applications that require strength, corrosion resistance and machinability, as well as non-heat treatable grades when formability and weldability are priorities. Popular applications for aluminum sheet include fuel tanks, roofing, boat hulls and automobile parts. Available grades include 1100, 3003, 5052, 5086, 5454 and 6061.
Aluminum sheets come in standard sizes that are commonly available in the market. These sizes are widely used and readily accessible, making them convenient for many applications. The most common standard sheet sizes for aluminum sheets include:
3’ x 8’ aluminum sheets: This can be used for various applications, depending on its thickness and alloy type. This includes construction and architecture, signage and displays.
4' x 8' aluminum sheets: This is among the most prevalent sizes, and widely used in construction, signage, and general fabrication projects. It provides a good balance between material availability, ease of handling, and versatility.
4' x 10' aluminum sheets: Slightly larger than the standard 4' x 8' sheets, these sizes are often preferred when covering larger areas or when minimizing the number of joints is desired. They are commonly used in architectural applications, roofing, and cladding.
5' x 10' aluminum sheets: These sheets offer a larger surface area, making them suitable for bigger panels, such as truck trailers, RV bodies, and marine applications.
