How to prolong the service life of aluminum plates

In the process of using aluminum plates, pay attention to the following key points to ensure its performance and prolong its service life:
1. Environmental conditions: Avoid exposing aluminum plates to extreme temperatures, humidity or corrosive environments. Long-term exposure to these conditions may cause oxidation or corrosion of the aluminum plate surface, affecting the appearance and mechanical properties.
2. Cleaning and maintenance: Clean the surface of the aluminum plate regularly to remove dust, dirt and other contaminants. Use a mild detergent and avoid using products containing chlorides or fluorides, as they may cause damage to the aluminum plate.
3. Handling and installation: Handle the aluminum plate carefully to prevent scratches, collisions and bending. During installation, follow the correct construction method to ensure that the plate is flat and stress-free, and ensure that it is well sealed to prevent moisture intrusion.
4. Protective coating: If the aluminum plate has a protective coating or anodized layer on the surface, try to avoid touching the surface with rough tools to avoid damaging the coating. For aluminum plates used outdoors, it is recommended to use ultraviolet (UV) resistant paint or film to enhance weather resistance.
5. Fastener selection: Choose suitable stainless steel or aluminum alloy fasteners to avoid electrochemical corrosion between different metals. In addition, the size and quantity of fasteners should be appropriate, neither too loose nor too tight to prevent damage to the plate.
6. Regular inspection: Regularly check the installed aluminum plate structure, especially the connection parts for signs of looseness or damage, and perform necessary repairs and maintenance in time.
Through the above measures, the aluminum plate can be effectively protected from unnecessary damage, maintaining its aesthetics and functionality, thereby maximizing the value of the aluminum plate.
