What Standards Are Required for Aluminum Cathode Plates?

In industrial manufacturing, it’s essential to ensure that materials meet specific standards for quality and composition. To ensure the quality of our aluminum cathode plates, we follow the following inspection standards:

  • Aluminum Plate: GB/T 3880-2012
  • Aluminum Beam: As per product drawing requirements
  • Copper Plate: GB/T 5585.1-2018, GB/T 5231-2012

These standards cover critical areas such as tensile strength, elongation, surface quality, and chemical composition. Below, we break down the material reports to check if the materials meet these requirements.
