Sheet and Plate

When aluminum is passed between rolls under pressure, it becomes thinner and longer in the direction in which it is moving. This simple process is the basis for producing aluminum plate, sheet and foil. Sheet, the most widely used form of industrial aluminum, is used in applications including aerospace, transportation, packaging and construction.

The Sheet and Plate committee provides an open forum for aluminum sheet and plate producers to discuss, develop and implement programs to strengthen the U.S. market. The committee’s primary work includes policy advocacy, regulatory engagement and market promotion.
