Aluminium Plates — Overview

Aluminium plate is flat-rolled aluminium above roughly 6 mm in thickness. Where sheet is chosen for forming and panelling, plate is chosen for load, wear and machining it holds tolerance, resists deflection and can be milled, drilled and tapped like a solid block while weighing about a third of the equivalent steel.

Kumar Aluminium supplies plate to heavy engineering workshops, tooling and mould makers, marine yards, defence suppliers and structural fabricators across Mumbai and India. Our range covers utility grades from Hindalco, Jindal and Balco alongside an imported range that brings the high-strength 5000, 6000, 7000 and 2000 series into local stock.

Aluminium Plate Grades & Tempers

Plate grade selection is usually driven by one of three things: machinability, weldability or saltwater resistance. The grades below cover all three requirements.

5083
HIGH-MG MARINE
The strongest non-heat-treatable plate we stock.
Exceptional saltwater resistance and toughness
that improves at low temperatures.
TEMPER
H111
BEST FOR
Shipbuilding, cryogenic tanks, offshore
structures, armour plate
SOURCE
Imported
5754
AL-MG
Good weld strength and corrosion resistance.
Widely specified for welded transport structures
and flooring.
TEMPER

HIGHEST STRENGTH
Strength comparable to many steels at a third of
the weight. The go-to plate for mould tooling and
high-stress components.

UTILITY PLATE
Softer domestic-mill plate for non-structural
panels, base sheets and general workshop use
where strength is not critical.
TEMPER

Aluminium Plate Brands Stocked

Domestic mills cover the utility grades; the high-strength structural and aerospace grades come from our imported range. If a drawing names a specific source, tell us at enquiry stage so we can confirm availability before quoting.

Aluminium Plate Sizes & Thickness Range

Plate is stocked in the same footprint sizes as sheet, with imported material arriving predominantly in the 1250 × 2500 mm format. Thickness runs from 6 mm to 200 mm.

SIZE (MM) FEET TYPICALLY USED FOR
1220 × 2440 4′ × 8′ General machining and fabrication stock
1525 × 3050 5′ × 10′ Large base plates, marine panels, tank shells
1250 × 2500 Imported std. Imported 5083, 6061, 6082, 7075 plate
BAND TYPICAL APPLICATION
6 – 12 mm Light structural work, gussets, brackets, wear plates
15 – 30 mm Machine base plates, jigs and fixtures, marine hull plate
32 – 60 mm Tooling plate, mould bases, heavy structural connections
65 – 120 mm Large mould blocks, press tooling, heavy machined parts
125 – 200 mm Deep mould cavities, forging dies, special machined blocks
Weight formula: plate weight in kg = length (m) × width (m) × thickness (mm) × 2.71. A 1220 × 2440 mm plate at 25 mm weighs about 201.7 kg.

Cutting, Machining & Documentation

Plate rarely leaves the yard in its full size. These are the processing services included with a plate order.

Tip: for machined parts, ask for a T651 temper rather than plain T6. The stretch stress-relief keeps the plate flat once material is removed, which saves re-machining later.

Applications of Aluminium Plate

These are the sectors we supply plate to most often from our Mumbai stockyard.

How to Choose the Right Aluminium Plate

Three decisions cover most plate specifications. If you are unsure, describe the part and its service conditions and we will suggest a grade.

Machined parts should be 6061-T651, 6082-T651 or 7075-T651 — the stress-relieved tempers stay flat. Welded structures are better served by 5083-H111 or 5754-H111, which retain strength across the weld far better than heat-treated 6000-series grades.

For seawater and coastal exposure choose 5083, 5086 or 5754. For general industrial use 6061 and 6082 are ample. Avoid 2014, 2024 and 7075 in unprotected outdoor service — their copper and zinc content reduces corrosion resistance and they need coating or anodising.

For light brackets and non-critical parts the utility grades from Hindalco or Jindal are cost-effective. For genuine structural load go to 6082-T651. Where strength is the deciding factor and cost is secondary, 7075-T651 is the strongest plate we stock.

IF YOU NEED… CHOOSE
CNC machined parts 6061-T651
Mould and press tooling 7075-T651 or 6082-T651
Welded marine structures 5083-H111
Welded transport bodies 5754-H111
General structural fabrication 6082-T6
Cryogenic service 5083-H111
Aerospace fatigue-critical parts 2024-T6 or 7075-T651
Non-structural panels 1200-H14 or 8011-H14
