金属板材就跟分辨木工板、大芯板、多层板、胶合板、三合板、香禾板、刨花板、颗粒板、欧松板、奥松板一样困难。

Metal plates are just as difficult to distinguish as carpentry board, large core board, Multilayer Board, Plywood, plywood, Parquet Board, particleboard, Particle Board, Osone Board, osone board.
铝单板是指采用铝合金板材为基材，铝板生产厂家经过铬化等处理后，再经过数控折弯等技术成型，采用氟碳或粉末喷涂技术，加工形成的一种新建筑装饰材料。我们常说的木纹转印铝板、冲孔铝板、仿石材铝板、镜面铝板等等都是属于这一类铝板。

Aluminum Veneer is a kind of new building decoration material, which is made of aluminum alloy plate, chromified and shaped by numerical control bending technology, and sprayed by fluorocarbon or powder. We often say that wood grain transfer aluminum plate, punching aluminum plate, imitation stone aluminum plate, mirror aluminum plate, etc. are all belong to this class of aluminum plate.
铝复合板是一个统称，主要是指通过种种复杂的加工手段将经过化学处理的涂装铝板（铝单板）作为表层材料，复合在适合的基层材料上，终形成铝复合板。根据复合基层材料的不同，铝复合板具有不同的材料特性。

Aluminum composite plate is a general term, mainly refers to a variety of complex processing means through the chemical treatment of coated aluminum (aluminum veneer) as a surface material, composite material in the appropriate base material, and finally formed aluminum composite plate. According to the different composite base material, aluminum composite plate has different material characteristics.

比如：常见的铝塑板就是塑料+铝单板的复合板材，既保留了塑料材料的特点，又通过金属材料克服了塑料材料的不足。
另一种常见的铝复合板就是蜂窝铝板：它是蜂窝金属+铝单板构成的复合材料。铝板生产厂家在保留了铝单板的饰面性能特点外，通过蜂窝金属结构基层极大程度的弥补铝单板容易弯曲的缺点，在越来越多的大型空间场合中，为保证饰面材料的平整度，都会采用这种材料。

For example: the Common aluminum-plastic plate is plastic + aluminum veneer composite plate, both retained the characteristics of plastic materials, and through metal materials to overcome the lack of plastic materials. Another common type of aluminum composite is honeycomb aluminum: a composite of honeycomb metal and aluminum veneer. In order to ensure the flatness of the facing material in more and more large space occasions, the characteristics of the finishing performance of the aluminum veneer are retained, and the defects of the aluminum veneer bending easily are made up by the base of the honeycomb metal structure to a great extent, would have used this material.
普通铝单板其构造主要由面板、加强筋和角码组成，表面一般经过铬化等处理后，再采用氟碳或粉末喷涂处理，一般分为二涂、三涂或四涂。

The structure of ordinary aluminum veneer is mainly composed of panel, reinforcing rib and Angle Code. The surface is usually chromed and then sprayed with fluorocarbon or powder.
铝单板一般采用2~4mm厚的纯铝板或优质铝合金板为基材来做表面处理，国内一般使用3.0mm厚的铝合金板做为建筑外墙装饰。

Aluminum veneer generally uses 2 ~ 4mm thick pure aluminum plate or high-quality aluminum alloy plate as the substrate to do surface treatment, the domestic general use 3.0 mm thick aluminum alloy plate as the building exterior wall decoration.
铝单板样板
铝板生产厂家讲到：氟碳涂层具有卓越的抗腐蚀性和耐候性，能抗酸雨、盐雾和各种空气污染物，耐冷热性能极好，能抵御强烈紫外线的照射，长期保持不褪色、不粉化，使用寿命长。
所以这些看似复杂的处理方式也使得各大建筑纷纷采用铝板来做为外幕墙而不是使用不锈钢的主要原因之一。

As stated in the practical guide, the fluorocarbon coating has excellent corrosion resistance and weather resistance, resistance to acid rain, salt fog and various air pollutants, excellent cold and heat resistance, and resistance to intense ultraviolet radiation, long-term non-fading, non-powdering, long service life. So these seemingly complicated treatments are one of the main reasons why buildings are using aluminum sheets for exterior facades instead of stainless steel.
