Aluminium sheet
Lightweight, durable and versatile solutions for multiple industries
Aluminium sheets are flat metal products, obtained by rolling, widely used in industrial, construction, transport and decoration sectors. They are characterised by their lightness, corrosion resistance, ease of forming and recyclability, which makes them an increasingly popular choice compared to other materials.
There are different alloys and finishes, which allows the material to be adapted to each type of project according to its mechanical, thermal or aesthetic requirements.

At Ferros Texar, we can provide you with various aluminium alloys in sheet metal format, adapted to different applications:
Main alloys used
| Alloy | Key Properties | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|
| 1050 / 1070 (1000 Series) | Very high purity, excellent conductivity | Signage, reflectors, electrical industry |
| 3003 / 3105 (3000 Series) | Corrosion resistance, good formability | Construction, roofs, cladding |
| 5005 / 5754 (5000 Series) | High mechanical strength, excellent weldability | Nautical, structures, vehicles |
| 6061 / 6082 (6000 Series) | High structural strength, heat-treatable | Engineering, machined parts, heavy structures |
General Chemical Properties of Aluminum
| Base Element | Aluminum (AI) |
| Reactivity | Forms a natural oxide layer that protects against corrosion |
| Compatibility | It can be easily alloyed with other elements (Mg, Mn, Si, Zn, Cu) to modify its properties |
| Recyclability | 100% recyclable with no loss of quality |
Mechanical properties of aluminum (vary according to alloy and treatment)
| Ownership | Approximate range |
|---|---|
| Density | 2.7 g/cm³ |
| Tensile strength | 70 to 350 MPa |
| Yield strength | 25 to 280 MPa |
| Elongation | 5% to 20% |
| Brinell hardness | 20 to 80 HB |
| Thermal Conductivity | 150 to 235 W/m·K |
| Electrical conductivity | 30% to 60% IACS |
Chemical Composition (% by weight) - Alloy 3105
| Element | % |
|---|---|
| Aluminum (AI) | Rest |
| Manganese (Mn) | 0,3 – 0,8 |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 0,2 – 0,8 |
| Iron (Fe) | ≤ 0.7 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.6 |
| Copper (Cu) | ≤ 0.3 |
| Zinc (Zn) | ≤ 0.4 |
| Others | ≤ 0.15 |
Indicative Mechanical Properties - Alloy 3105
| Ownership | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile strength | 145 – 185 MPa |
| Yield strength | ≥ 125 MPa |
| Elongation | 3% to 10% |
| Hardness | ~47 HB |
| Alloy 3105 is one of the most demanded for its excellent balance between strength, formability and corrosion protection. It is especially suitable for exterior and coating applications where durability and aesthetics are required. Alloy 3105 is one of the most widely used within the 3000 series. It is mainly composed of aluminum with a small percentage of manganese and magnesium, which gives it good mechanical resistance without losing ductility. |

What are the main particularities of aluminum sheets?
Aluminum is an extraordinary material with many advantages, here are some of them:
- It is lightweight and resistant: Despite its low weight, aluminum is a very durable material that does not sacrifice its strength, so it is perfect for structures and parts that need to be solid, but not heavy.
- It is highly resistant to corrosion: Aluminum has a natural protection against corrosion. This characteristic makes it ideal for use outdoors, humid environments, or in situations where the material is going to be exposed to the elements.
- It has excellent workability: You can cut, bend, weld, and die-cut aluminum without any problems. This ease of handling means that it can be transformed into almost any shape or design you need.
- It offers an aesthetic finish: Aluminum comes with a wide variety of finishes. Depending on the result you are looking for, you can choose a smooth, checkerboard, anodized, lacquered, or mirror-type finish.
- It is a sustainable material: Aluminum is 100% recyclable without losing its properties. This makes it an eco-friendly and sustainable option.
- It has good conductivity: This material is an excellent conductor of both heat and electricity, which makes it very useful for applications where this quality is necessary.
Are aluminum sheet shipments made throughout Spain?
Yes, we ship aluminum sheet throughout Spain. Recently we have distributed especially in the areas of Valencia, Zaragoza and throughout the Basque Country, mainly due to the great boom of the metallurgical industry in these areas of Spain.
