Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the difference between 3003 and 6061 checkered plate?
A:
- 3003: More formable, better for bending (e.g., truck beds)
- 6061-T6: Stronger but less flexible (ideal for structural uses)
Q: Can checkered aluminum be welded?
A: Yes – Use MIG/TIG methods. 5052 and 6061 weld best.
Q: How much weight can it support?
A: Depends on thickness/alloy:
- 3mm plate: ~500kg/m² distributed load
- 6mm plate: ~1500kg/m²
Q: Is painted or mill finish better?
A:
- Mill finish: Lower cost, shows wear over time
- Painted/Anodized: Enhanced corrosion resistance, color options
