What is brushed aluminum sheet?
Brushed aluminum is aluminum that has been mechanically treated to produce a fine linear grain pattern on its surface. This process enhances their visual appeal while maintaining the metal’s inherent strength and corrosion resistance.
Unlike polished aluminum, which has a mirror-like sheen, brushed aluminum has a soft, non-reflective surface that is ideal for applications that require reduced glare.

Common grades of brushed aluminum sheets
- 1050: 99.5% pure aluminum, soft, easy to form, excellent corrosion resistance, weldable, low mechanical strength.
- 1060: Slightly higher purity than 1050, better corrosion resistance, good deep drawing plasticity, low strength, and cannot be heat treated.
- 1100: commercial pure aluminum, easy to bend, stamp, weld, good corrosion resistance, the weakest among common alloys.
- 3003: medium strength, excellent weldability and formability, cannot be heat treated.
- 5005: higher strength than 1100, similar to 3003, good anodizing reaction, better color retention.
- 5052: high strength, excellent marine corrosion resistance, higher strength than 3003/5005, good weldability and formability.
- 5083: high strength marine alloy, excellent weldability, stress corrosion cracking resistance.
- 6061: heat treatable, strength higher than 5052 and lower than 7075, machinable.

The main features of brushed aluminum sheets
- BEAUTY: Uniform brushed texture enhances visual appeal.
- DURABILITY: Resists corrosion, abrasion, and UV exposure.
- LIGHTWEIGHT: Easier to handle than steel while maintaining strength.
- NON-REFLECTIVE SURFACE: Reduces glare, ideal for architectural and electronic uses.
- EASY TO MAINTAIN: Requires minimal cleaning and resists fingerprints.
Types of brushed aluminum
Brushed aluminum sheets are classified into different types based on alloy composition and surface treatment:
1. By alloy series
- 1000 series (pure aluminum): Excellent corrosion resistance and formability, used for decorative applications.
- 3000 series (aluminum manganese): High strength, good processability, commonly used for roofing and cladding.
- 5000 series (aluminum magnesium): High strength, good weldability, ideal for marine and automotive applications.
- 6000 series (aluminum magnesium silicon): Heat treatable, used for structural and architectural applications.
2. Through brushed surface treatment
- Fine brushed: smooth, fine texture, used in electronics and appliances.
- Medium brushed: more obvious texture, common in automotive decoration and signage.
- Coarse brushed: deep and obvious texture, used in industrial and heavy-duty applications.
