Aluminium Foil Thickness

How thick is aluminium foil? Generally aluminium foil thickness ranges between 0.009mm and 0.2mm. In practice, there is even 0.5mm. Different thicknesses match different aluminium foil uses. Here we will give a detailed introduction to thickness of aluminium foil.
　　How Thick is Aluminium Foil
　　The aluminium industry divides its products by thickness into aluminium sheets and aluminium foil rolls, in which it regards sheets with a thickness below 0.2mm (sometimes even 0.1mm) as foil materials. If you do a careful research, however, you will find that the thickness of aluminium foil reaches 0.5mm and even more in some practical uses. Thus the thickness range is developing with technology and process. Thinner and thicker foil rolls are produced nowadays. Here we list aluminium foil thickness ranges related with different uses.
　　Aluminium Foil Thickness and Its Uses
　　A. Food container aluminium foil
　　The thickness of food container aluminium foil is generally between 0.03mm and 0.20mm, and can be divided into wrinkle and wrinkle-free. In fact, it is a 3 or 8 series aluminum ingot raw material. After cold rolling or hot rolling, it has a uniform thickness, smooth surface, no pinholes, no dust particles, no odor, aluminum foil parent roll. The production process is a one-time automatic cold stamping forming of special equipment and molds. Alloys available for food container aluminium foil rolls are 8011, 8006, 3003, 5052, 3004 aluminum foil.

　　B. Medicinal aluminum foil
　　PTP medicinal aluminum foil: alloy 8011 aluminum foil, state O, H18, thickness 016-0.5mm
　　Blister medicinal aluminum foil: 8021 aluminum foil, state O, thickness 0.04-0.065mm
　　Tropical medicinal aluminum foil: 8021, 8079, state O, thickness 0.016-0.2mm
　　Aluminum foil for medicine cover: 8011 aluminum foil, state H14, H16, thickness 0.016-0.5mm
　　C. Aluminum foil for aluminum foil bags
　　The raw materials of aluminum foil for aluminum foil bags are mainly 1 series, 3 series and 8 series products, mainly including models 1060, 1100, 3003, 8011, 8021 and the like. According to the requirements of the packaged products, the hardness and hardness of the alloy, that is, the alloy state, are selected, and the commonly used states are H14, H16 and H18. The thickness of aluminium foil rolls ranges from 0.014mm to 0.2mm.
　　D. Sealing liner aluminium foil
　　The sealing liner aluminium foil thickness ranges from 0.016mm to 0.5mm. Aluminum sealing liners are non-toxic and odorless. In addition, it has a good antibacterial ability. Generally speaking, microorganisms cannot grow on it, for the surface is clean. Further more, aluminum gaskets made of aluminum foil rolls are opaque, so it is very protective for solar light sensitive products.
　　E. Transformer aluminium foil
　　The transformer aluminium foil is better known as transformer aluminium strip 1060 in the international market, simply because it’s usually made into the shape of strips. Its thickness ranges from 0.2mm to 3mm.

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 ...

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,...
