Reflectivity of aluminum metal strips

It may be a little strange to relate reflectivity with aluminum metal strips, because the word accompanies aluminum mirror sheet more frequently. The truth is that reflectivity of an aluminum strip has an influence on its application scope. The aluminum strip is obtained by rolling of pure or alloyed aluminum, widely applied in industries of aerospace, construction, printing and pharmaceutics.
Bright aluminum metal strips have high reflectivity.
The purity of aluminum metal strips has a direct influence on their reflectivity. The purity of aluminum metal strips refer to the content share of aluminum element in a bulk of aluminum metal strips. With a smooth surface, the aluminum strip has a good reflectivity. The brighter is the surface, the higher the reflectivity is. When there are impurities in the strip, its reflectivity will decline because the impurities will have a function of scattering. The raw material of aluminum metal strips include cold or hot rolled coil rolls of pure or alloyed aluminum. The rolls are further rolled into thinner rolls of a given thickness and a given width, and then cut into strips of the desired width. The reflectivity of an aluminum strip is up to the gloss finish of its surface as well. Strip rolls with rough surfaces reflect light differently with variation of light wave length. The longer the wave, the higher the reflectivity.
The reflectivity of aluminum metal strips are influenced by their purity and gloss finish of the surface. Aluminum strip rolls have become ubiquitous in our daily life. They are raw materials for transformer winding, high-frequency hollow welded strips, heat exchangers, cables, aluminum edges etc. At present, the raw materials for electronic products are no longer purely dependent on copper strips. Since the conductivity of aluminum is only lower than that of copper, the replacement of copper strips by aluminum strips is becoming a popular trend in the world.

Slitting of 1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip

图片
What kind of machine is used to make aluminum sheets into 1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip belts? Many people might think about a shearing device, but they are actually dealt with by a continuous slitting unit of a similar working principle to that of a shearing device. The difference lies in the point that there is no pause of shearing with a continuous slitting unit. Generally, the mother roll, namely, an  aluminum coil  to be slit, is placed. During the slitting process, the coil roll is divided into several belts which are further rolled into narrow aluminium strip rolls. The slitting method of both  1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip  or other aluminum strips can be divided into two types: a straight pull type and a loose sleeve type. The straight pull type refers to the method that aluminum strip rolls are kept in tension from being fed into the unwinding sail to being coiled by the coiling machine, and this production method is suitable for trimming and intermediate ...

Diamond Embossed Aluminum Sheet Application

图片
The  diamond embossed aluminum sheet  refers to aluminium sheets with diamond patterns on the surface. In addition to 1000 series, 5005 and 3003 are frequently applied alloys as well. 5005  diamond embossed aluminum sheet s can be used for conductivity materials, cookware, instrument panels, electronic shells and building ornaments. Their anodized film proves to be brighter than that of 3003, and the color matches perfectly with that of 6063 aluminum alloy products. Generally speaking,  diamond aluminum checker plate s are sold by the unit of pieces. In international business the unit of metric ton is frequently used as well. Their thickness ranges from 1.7mm to 8mm, but those between 2mm and 7.75mm prove to be the most popular. The width is from 1010 to 1500, among which 1250 and 1500 are most frequently adopted. Embossed aluminum sheet s with different patterns usually match varied application scope. Five-bar and one-bar sheets are mostly used for anti-skid pu...

Embossed Aluminium Coil Patterns And Applications

图片
If you have ever used an escalator you might have noticed that there are partition panels respectively at the bottom and top of the escalator. These partitions are usually paved with  embossed aluminium sheet  coil that have a good pressure bearing capacity and are made of composite metals. As a matter of fact, there are various patterns and applications of embossed aluminium coil, and here we will give a simple introduction. 　　Patterns 　　Aluminum sheets with patterns on the surface is called embossed aluminum sheets or  aluminium tread plate . Pattern shapes include lentils, diamonds, round beans, and oblate mixed shapes. The market is most common in lentils. 　　Application 　　The aluminium tread plate has beautiful appearance, excellent anti-slip property, enhanced performances, and material-saving advantage in production. It is widely used in transportation, construction, decoration, equipment, floor, machinery, shipbuilding and other fields. Generally speaking,...
