Product Description
8xxx series aluminum sheet belongs to the aluminum alloy category with other elements as primary alloying additions — primarily iron and silicon in grades such as 8011, 8021, and 8079. These alloys are selected for applications requiring specific corrosion resistance, formability, and heat reflectivity characteristics. Available in tempers ranging from fully annealed to strain-hardened conditions, the material accommodates fabrication processes including stamping, bending, and deep drawing.
The producing manufacturer maintains 28 years of operation in non-ferrous metal supply. Production facilities process aluminum coils through continuous casting, hot rolling, cold rolling, and annealing lines. Finished sheets undergo dimensional verification and surface inspection before packaging, with batch traceability records maintained throughout the production cycle.

Custom dimensions and non-standard temper conditions can be quoted for volume production orders. Tolerance specifications conform to the standards listed in the compliance section.
Production and testing conform to the following recognized standards:
GB/T 3880 (China national standard for aluminum and aluminum alloy sheets and plates)
ASTM B209 (Standard specification for aluminum and aluminum-alloy sheet and plate)
ASTM SB-209 (ASTM metric version of aluminum sheet specification)
EN 485 (European standard for aluminum and aluminum alloy sheet, strip and plate)
GB/T 33227 (China national standard for aluminum alloy sheets for specific applications)
MS 2040:2017 (Malaysian standard for aluminum and aluminum alloy sheets)
Material test reports are issued for each production batch, documenting chemical composition analysis and mechanical property test results. Third-party inspection services from accredited bodies can be arranged upon request for commercial procurement orders.
Material properties vary by alloy grade and temper condition, with the following general characteristics applicable across the series.
Formability: O temper material offers maximum ductility suitable for deep drawing and complex forming operations. H14 and H24 tempers provide intermediate strength for general fabrication, while H18 temper delivers maximum hardness for applications requiring rigidity and resistance to denting.
Reflectivity: 8xxx series alloys exhibit high light and heat reflectivity, making them appropriate for lighting reflector and heat shield applications.
Corrosion resistance: The alloys demonstrate resistance to atmospheric exposure and many indoor chemical environments. Food-contact compatibility applies to specific grades used in packaging and food processing equipment — please confirm grade suitability during inquiry.
Weight characteristics: Aluminum density of approximately 2.7 g/cm³ contributes to weight reduction in fabricated assemblies compared to equivalent steel components.
Surface condition: Standard mill finish sheets are suitable for subsequent painting, anodizing, or powder coating processes as required by end-product specifications.
The material serves across multiple commercial and industrial sectors:
Lighting fixtures: Reflector panels and housing components for LED luminaires, industrial lighting, and commercial display lighting systems, where heat and light reflectivity support fixture performance.
Heat transfer equipment: Heat sinks, radiator fins, and thermal shielding for electronic enclosures, power supplies, and industrial process cooling systems.
Chemical and food processing: Storage tank liners, process vessel components, and food preparation surfaces where compatible alloy grades are specified.
Signage and identification: Commercial signs, nameplates, directional markers, and identification tags used in industrial facilities, retail premises, and transportation infrastructure.
Architectural decoration: Wall cladding, ceiling systems, decorative trim, and facade elements for commercial buildings, retail spaces, and public infrastructure projects.
Electrical enclosures: Junction boxes, equipment housings, and panel components for electrical distribution and industrial control systems.
Stamped components: General-purpose formed parts for appliances, automotive accessories, and consumer goods manufacturing operations.
Sample evaluation: Sample orders are accepted to support material testing and prototype development before volume commitment. Sample dimensions and quantities are confirmed during inquiry.
OEM and custom orders: Bespoke dimensions, special temper conditions, or custom surface treatments can be produced to client specifications. Technical drawings or written specifications are required for quotation of custom items.
Packaging details: Sheets are packed with protective film on surfaces where specified, secured onto fumigated export wooden pallets suitable for ocean freight and international transport. Individual package weights are optimized for container loading efficiency.
Delivery lead time: Stock items typically dispatch within 3-7 working days of order confirmation. Custom production orders require 18-28 working days depending on alloy grade, dimensions, and order volume.
Payment arrangements: Telegraphic transfer and irrevocable letter of credit are accepted for commercial procurement transactions. Specific payment terms are confirmed during the quotation process.
The selection depends on forming depth and required final hardness. O temper is recommended for deep drawing operations. H14 or H24 tempers work for moderate forming where additional finished strength is needed. H18 temper is suited for flat or lightly formed applications requiring maximum rigidity. Our technical support team can review your part geometry to suggest the most suitable temper.
Yes, 8xxx series aluminum sheets accept standard anodizing processes as well as powder coating and wet paint applications. Surface preparation requirements may vary by alloy grade. For decorative anodizing applications requiring highly uniform finish, please discuss your requirements during the quotation phase to confirm the appropriate alloy and surface specification.
The three grades differ primarily in iron and silicon content, which influences mechanical properties and application suitability. 8011 is commonly used for general-purpose sheet applications including packaging and closures. 8021 finds use in heat exchanger and fin stock applications. 8079 is often specified for foil and thin-gauge applications requiring specific barrier properties. Our technical team can recommend the grade matching your specific application requirements.
