060 Aluminum Sheet Weight

To calculate the weight of an aluminum sheet, first determine its dimensions, which include length, breadth, thickness, and density. There is no accurate number for the density of aluminum alloy plates, hence the density of aluminum is commonly assumed.
Now, taking the standard aluminum sheet size 4ft x 8ft aluminum sheet 060 as an example, calculate the aluminum sheet weight:

Therefore, a standard thickness 4′ x 8′ 0.060 inch aluminum sheet weighs approximately 26.96 lb, 431.31 oz or 12.23kg.

How to Weld 060 Aluminum

To weld 060 aluminum sheet, the most common aluminum welding methods include TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding and MIG (metal inert gas) welding. Here are the general steps for TIG welding 0.060 inch aluminum plate:

Prepare equipment: TIG welder, tungsten electrode, shielding gas (usually argon).
Before welding: Clean the aluminum sheet to remove dirt, grease or oxide layer, and clamp the plate to keep it stable.
Welding: Set the welder to the appropriate position for welding aluminum, starting from the edge of the joint and maintaining a constant speed.
After welding: After welding is completed, allow the welding area to cool naturally. Inspect welds for defects and use a brush or wire wheel to clean the welded area to remove residual waste.

060 or 080 Aluminum: Which is Thicker

In the context of aluminum tread plate thickness, the digits “060” and “080” represent the thickness of the aluminum sheet in decimal inches.
“060” aluminum diamond plate denotes a thickness of 0.060 inch.
“080” aluminum diamond plate denotes a thickness of 0.080 inches.
When compared to the 0.060 thickness aluminum diamond plate, the 0.080 thickness is thicker.
