AVS Sheet FAQ
What industries commonly use AVS Sheet?
AVS Sheet is widely used in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, construction, electronics, and marine applications. Its unique combination of properties makes it suitable for structural components, heat exchangers, electrical enclosures, and architectural elements. The material's corrosion resistance is particularly valuable in marine and chemical processing environments.
How does AVS Sheet compare to traditional steel sheets?
AVS Sheet offers several advantages over traditional steel, including approximately 60% less weight for comparable strength, better corrosion resistance without requiring protective coatings, and superior thermal conductivity. While initial costs may be higher, AVS Sheet typically provides better long-term value due to its durability and lower maintenance requirements.

AVS Sheet FAQ
What temperature range can AVS Sheet withstand?
AVS Sheet maintains its structural integrity in temperatures ranging from -80°C to 450°C (-112°F to 842°F). Special formulations are available for extreme temperature applications, extending the range up to 550°C (1022°F) for short durations. This thermal stability makes it ideal for heat exchangers, engine components, and industrial ovens.
Is AVS Sheet recyclable?
Yes, AVS Sheet is 100% recyclable without loss of quality. The recycling process requires only 5% of the energy needed for primary production, making it an environmentally friendly choice. Many manufacturers offer recycling programs for production scrap and end-of-life components.

AVS Sheet FAQ
What surface treatments are recommended for outdoor applications?
For outdoor use, we recommend anodized or powder-coated AVS Sheet. Anodizing creates an oxide layer that enhances corrosion resistance while maintaining the material's natural appearance. Powder coating provides superior color retention and additional protection against UV radiation and environmental factors. Both treatments are available in various colors and finishes to meet aesthetic requirements.
How should AVS Sheet be stored before installation?
AVS Sheet should be stored horizontally on a flat, dry surface in a covered area. Stack height should not exceed 1 meter to prevent deformation. For long-term storage (over 6 months), use breathable protective coverings to prevent condensation. Avoid contact with other metals to prevent galvanic corrosion, especially in humid environments.
Installation Guidelines
- Use carbide-tipped tools for cutting
- Maintain proper spacing for thermal expansion (3mm per meter)
- Use non-corrosive fasteners (stainless steel or plastic)
- Clean surfaces before joining with solvent wipe
- Apply sealant in marine or chemical environments
- Wear proper PPE during fabrication
