Aluminum shims

 Aluminum shims are a wonder. At least that’s what I like to think when I look at them. They float in the air and bend with the wind. They provide a stability that some other materials can’t match, and they’re cheap to produce.

I was talking to an employee of one of my suppliers a few months ago, and she mentioned that this particular company has been producing aluminum shims for the last five years or so. She told me how she used to work at another company, which never produced them (I have no idea why). But now her company does and it costs about $1 per pound (1000 pounds are about $10) for shims that are around .015 inch thick, making it cheaper than any other material.

Imagine the possibilities! You can shave down your production time by 20%, saving you even more money on your budget every month. You don’t need to spend thousands on tooling or heavy machinery; you just have to buy shims from someone else, who happens to be producing aluminum products for you! This is magic!

I think it sounds incredible — but it’s not too far-fetched an idea if you consider how much aluminum costs these days. Aluminum came into existence in 1937 as a byproduct of steel production. It was used as an alloy in automobile bodies and airplanes due to its strength and lightness. Aluminum is a 90% metal by weight – meaning only 10% of the actual material is needed for its finished product — but what makes it so valuable? It is incredibly lightweight (about 50% lighter than steel) and extremely strong (it can absorb up to 4 times its own weight before deforming). 

Its strength allows for very thin sheets of aluminum (1/8th inch thick) that are stronger than steel structural members (for example: ship hulls). The finest quality aluminum sheets could be sold for $200 per foot while steel sheets would sell for $500 – yet they give better strength because they cost less! Aluminum also has excellent weather resistance – meaning that under extreme weather conditions like hurricanes, hail storms or freezing temperatures, aluminum will remain intact because the strong air pressure inside the sheet will keep it together while other materials would deflate or burst apart under such conditions.

A single sheet of aluminum weighs about 30 pounds — therefore breaking apart would be highly undesirable when shipping goods inside cargo planes — yet transportation companies have still managed to cut their shipping costs

2. Different Types of Aluminum Shim

Aluminum shims are a popular item used in automobiles and other commercial vehicles. They are used to increase the life of aluminum panels. There are a variety of different types of aluminum shims that can be found at your local home improvement or auto parts store.

The main difference between the various types of aluminum shims is their thickness which is based on how thick the aluminum used in their creation.

Aluminum shims range from 2mm to 36mm with the thicker ones being slightly more costly. The thinner ones are slightly more expensive but also allow for greater air flow and a smoother ride for your vehicle.

3. Advantages of Aluminum Shims

Aluminum shims are cheap and easy to find. You can buy them in any office supply store or online at a very competitive price. As long as the manufacturer makes aluminum shims with good reputation, they will have no problems getting their product approved by the industry.

In fact, many manufacturers use aluminum shims to make their products more durable and less likely to crack when they are exposed to high temperatures or moisture. Popular brands of aluminum shims include Derwent, Roloc, Abracadabra and Axum.

4. Disadvantages of Aluminum Shims

Aluminum shims are a great tool in your automotive arsenal, as they can be used to change the height of your lift kits to prevent or decrease engine damage. As such, they’re a common tool to have around the garage and many of us use aluminum shims to change the height of our lifts. So why do we need aluminum shims?

Thereare much better ways to raise or lower your vehicle with out using aluminum shims. We have readers who like sharing their stories about how much safer their vehicles are now that they know what other people are doing instead of blindly following “experts.”

That being said, it is likely that someone will read this article and think that you need aluminum shims to raise or lower your vehicle. Don’t let them get away with it! It isn’t necessary for you to use aluminum shims in order for your vehicle to be safe on the road.

A man who has been driving his car for over 20 years is quite confident that he doesn’t need any kind of aluminum shim or special tools because he never has an accident because his engine won’t slip while he is traveling down the road at any speed (reference). If you want proof, look up all the accidents involving people who feel their vehicles won't slip and then watch how fast they go when they hit a bump or skid into a puddle of water and end up sliding across the asphalt onto the hoods of their cars (reference). This is from one individual who has had his car rebuilt after every single accident — it still slides even when there are no other cars around (reference).

5. Conclusion

Aluminum shims are an important element for fabricators to use when mounting the chassis of their car, motorcycle, or other vehicle.

The main purpose of using aluminum shims is to adjust the height of the shim over a long period of time. Small changes within a short amount of time may be too fast for your body’s reflexes to catch on, causing excessive wear and tear on your chassis. It is important that you always use aluminum shims with your aluminum body parts to prevent any unnecessary wear and tear on your body.
