Summary: Grooving: When grooving with a grooving machine or router, use a semi‑round‑nose end mill with a cutting angle greater than 90°. The depth of cut should be neither too deep—risking damage to the aluminum panel—nor too shallow—making edge folding difficult. Leave a 0.2–0.3 mm thick plastic core layer, along with the aluminum panel, to bend the edge, thereby enhancing strength and toughness; otherwise, the aluminum panel may crack or the paint film may blister during bending.
Methods for using aluminum alloy sheets:
(1) Grooving: When grooving with a grooving machine or router, use a semi‑round‑nose end mill with a cutting angle greater than 90°. The depth of cut should be neither too deep—risking damage to the aluminum panel—nor too shallow—making edge folding difficult. Leave a 0.2–0.3 mm thick plastic core layer together with the aluminum panel when bending the edge, to enhance strength and toughness; otherwise, the aluminum panel may crack or the paint film may blister during edge bending.
(2) Arc‑shaped machining: Arc‑shaped components shall be formed using dedicated bending equipment, applying gradual, controlled force to progressively achieve the desired curvature. Do not attempt to bend the sheet into shape in a single pass.
(3) Installation Orientation: When installing aluminum panels of the same color on the same plane, the installation sequence should be consistent; otherwise, visual color differences may occur.
(4) Usage conditions: Interior wall panels should be used indoors and are not suitable for outdoor installation, to ensure optimal performance and service life.
(5) Film removal: The protective film should be removed within 45 days after the aluminum panel is installed; otherwise, difficulties in removing the film or adhesive residue may occur.
(6) Batch: Panels of the same model but from different batches may exhibit color variations. When selling or using panels from multiple batches, an additional step to compare and verify color differences is required. Our company primarily deals in alloy aluminum sheets, aluminum checkered plates, and similar products; only when no visual color discrepancies are present should such panels be used on the same surface.
(7) Handling: When handling panels, lift all four edges simultaneously; never push, pull, or extract them to avoid scratching the surface.
(8) Storage: Alloy sheets shall be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area and laid flat on a level surface. Do not step on or impact them.

In 2018, the global primary aluminum market experienced a supply deficit of 859,000 tonnes.
According to foreign reports on February 20, the World Bureau of Metal Statistics (WBMS) released a report on Wednesday showing that the global primary aluminum market posted a supply deficit of 859,000 tonnes for the full year 2018. In 2017, the market’s supply shortfall stood at 1.209 million tonnes. In 2018, China’s demand for primary aluminum totaled 6.0524 million tonnes, up 685,000 tonnes from the previous year. Meanwhile, China’s primary aluminum production increased by 1.036 million tonnes year over year.
China Aluminum plans to transfer 190,000 tons of electrolytic aluminum production capacity quotas.
China Aluminum Corporation announced that its subsidiary, Shanxi Huasheng Aluminum Industry, plans to transfer all of its 190,000-ton electrolytic aluminum production capacity quota to Heqing Yixin Aluminum Industry, a subsidiary of Yun Aluminum Co., Ltd. To date, the parties have not yet entered into any specific agreement regarding the transfer.
The U.S. aluminum tariff wall is beginning to crumble.
The United States has imposed additional tariffs on imported aluminum and steel products on national security grounds for nearly a year. If the aim of these so‑called Section 232 tariffs was to boost domestic production, the Trump administration could claim some success. Thanks to the resumption of idle capacity, U.S. primary aluminum output has begun to rise sharply—though this trend cannot be attributed solely to the 10% import tariff. However, if the objective also included addressing the growing share of imports—particularly those from Chinese aluminum producers—the maximum effectiveness of these tariff measures may already have been reached.
