Compare Grades

Which alloy for which job

Reference values for the grades buyers ask about most. Confirm against the mill certificate for your order.

Grade	Typical tensile (MPa)	Corrosion	Typical applications
5052-H32	230–260	Excellent	Tanks, panels, marine fittings
5083-O / H111	275–350	Excellent (marine)	Hulls, cryogenic tanks, pressure vessels

Quality Control

Every lot tested, traced to the heat number

Three stages on every order: incoming material check, in-process monitoring and final inspection before packing.

Material traceability

Heat number, chemical composition report and mill test certificate for every lot.

Mechanical testing

Tensile, yield, elongation and hardness to ASTM B209 / EN 485.

Dimensional & surface

Thickness tolerance, flatness, edge quality and PVC film checked before packing.

Third-party inspection

SGS, Intertek, BV or your own inspector — at the mill or before loading.

Our Supply Network

A vetted panel of producers — not a single line

We buy from several audited Chinese aluminium producers across 1xxx–8xxx, so you get availability, price competition and a backup source on every order.

Several qualified suppliers

Each producer is audited for rolling capability, certification and export record — and re-checked on every order.

Better availability

If one producer is out of a size or temper, another has it. No single-line bottleneck on your delivery.

One standard, whoever rolls it

Same grade, tolerance and certification whichever mill runs your order — with the certificate that applies to that lot.

Packing & Loading

Packed to survive the port

Export-standard packing as default, adapted to how you unload at the other end.

Loading at a glance

Per 20' container≈ 20–27 t

Per 40' container≈ 24–27 t (weight-limited)

Mixed sizes in one containerYes

Surface protectionPVC film

Max plate length16,000 mm

Coil / foil packingEye-to-sky / eye-to-wall

PVC film on the surface, fumigated wooden pallets, steel strapping and corner protection.

Wooden crates on request — for wide plate, marine grades and long overland legs.

Loading plan with dunnage so plate cannot shift in transit.

Around 20–27 t per 20' container depending on size mix; mixed sizes in one container.

Coil and foil: eye-to-sky or eye-to-wall on wooden pallets, plastic film, steel strapping and corner protection.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before ordering

If yours is not here, send it on WhatsApp — we answer the same day where possible.

What is your minimum order?

5 tonnes per grade and size. Different grades can share a container, but each grade is counted on its own.

How fast do you quote?

Within 24–48 hours of a complete spec: alloy, temper, sizes, quantity and destination port.

Can you cut to size?

Yes — sawn or sheared to your cutting list, typically ±1 mm on sawn edges. Send a drawing or a list.

What are your payment terms?

T/T with deposit and balance against copy of B/L; L/C at sight for larger orders. Agreed per order.

Do you supply samples?

Small cut samples for evaluation are normally free; the buyer covers courier.

Which Incoterms do you work on?

FOB, CFR and CIF to Middle East and African ports as standard. DDP on request.

How long is a quotation valid?

Aluminium follows the LME, so we normally hold a price for 3–5 working days and re-confirm when you order.

How are quality claims handled?

Send photos and, where possible, a third-party report within 14 days of arrival; we replace or credit where the claim is confirmed against the certificate.

Do you supply coil and foil, or only plate?

All three. Plate and sheet 0.2–600 mm, coil 0.2–8 mm incl. slit-to-width, and foil from 0.006 mm — whatever our mills roll, we can quote.

Why Us

Built for buyers who need the right material, on time

We are a sourcing and export house focused on aluminium flat products — plate, coil and foil — so we know the grades, the mills and the ports.

Supplied from a vetted mill panel

We buy from several audited Chinese producers covering 1xxx–8xxx — consistent quality, a real mill certificate, and a second source whenever a line is busy.

7–45 day lead times

Standard plate 15–25 days, custom sizes up to 45. We confirm the schedule before we promise it.

MOQ 5 t per grade
