Aluminium foil manufacturing process

The aluminium foil manufacturing process consists of smelting, rough rolling, intermediate rolling and aluminum foil blank rolling.
　　Smelting
　　Aluminium ingots are placed into the furnace to get smelted, and aluminium liquid flows into the casting mill through the launder, during which the the refiner A1-Ti-B is added to form a continuous and uniform refining effect. Gases and slags get removed constantly and uniformly by the graphite rotor.
　　Rough Rolling
　　The aluminum liquid from the first step becomes a billet. The temperature of inflow water in the inner cavity should be kept between 20 and 23 degree centigrade, and that of outflow water between 28 to 32 degree centigrade. The static pressure of the aluminum melt between the rolls is controlled at 0.004-0.005mpa, so as to ensure that the crystal direction {100} of the material is more than 95%, the grain size is less than 5um, and the slab of 6.5-7.5mm is rolled.

　　Intermediate Rolling
　　The above slabs are rolled again by cold rolling mill. When the thickness reaches 4.5mm, they are sent to the annealing furnace. After heating to 360 ℃ and holding for 2 hours, they are continuously heated to 580 ℃ and holding for 18 hours. Homogenization annealing is carried out to make the grain size uniform and consistent in direction. Then, the slabs are continuously cold rolled to 0.60mm in cold rolling mill and sent to annealing furnace again, heating to 460 ℃ and holding for 5 hours. When the they cool down to 400 ℃, have them heat preserved for 7 hours to conduct intermediate annealing, and then continue rolling them to 0.3mm thick.
　　Aluminum Foil Blank Rolling
　　This step uses the four roll irreversible foil rolling mill to roll the above 0.3mm aluminum foil blank into the finished aluminum foil product.
　　The aluminium foil manufacturing process above is short and cost efficient. It enables you to produce ultra-thin aluminum foil of advanced level with a small investment scale. Compared with the hot rolling production process, the investment cost is reduced by two-thirds and the operation cost is reduced by more than half.

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

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,...
