Aluminum Sheet & Plate – Premium Manufacturer and Exporter
Aluminum sheet and plate are among the most essential materials in modern manufacturing, construction, and transportation industries. Known for their lightweight strength, corrosion resistance, and versatility, these products are widely used across automotive, aerospace, marine, and industrial applications.
Basekim, a leading aluminum sheet and plate manufacturer and exporter in Turkey, supplies high-quality 1050, 3003, 5052, 6061, and 7075 alloys that meet ASTM B209 and EN 485 standards.
What Is Aluminum Sheet and Plate?
Aluminum sheets and plates are rolled products made from aluminum ingots using hot and cold rolling processes.
The main difference lies in thickness:
Sheet: 0.2 mm – 6 mm
Plate: Over 6 mm
These materials offer the perfect balance between weight, strength, and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for architectural, marine, structural, and engineering projects.
