Aluminium Plain Coils Features & Application

Aluminium plain coil is a thin aluminum sheet roll made from aluminum alloy as the base material through rolling process, and formed by curling. It is an important aluminum product that is widely used in various industries such as construction, transportation, packaging, and electronics.

Common aluminum alloy series of aluminium plain coils include 1000 series (pure aluminum), 3000 series (aluminum-manganese alloy), 5000 series (aluminum-magnesium alloy), 6000 series (aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy), etc., such as 1060 aluminum coils, 3003 aluminum coils, 5052 aluminum coils, 6061 aluminum coil, etc., and the different aluminum alloy series have different performance characteristics. The thickness of plain aluminium coil is usually between 0.1mm to 6mm, the specific thickness depends on the application requirements. The width is usually between 200mm and 2000mm, depending on the production process and customer requirements.

Material properties of aluminium plain coils are:

– Light weight and high strength: the density of aluminum is about 2.7g/cm³, about 1/3 of that of iron or copper, which makes the aluminum coil realize light weight while ensuring sufficient strength, which is conducive to reducing the weight of the product and improving the transportation efficiency.

– Good corrosion resistance: the naturally formed aluminum oxide film on the surface of the aluminum coil, as well as the optional anti-corrosion coating, together constitute a strong protective barrier, which can effectively resist the erosion of corrosive media such as acid, alkali and salt.

– Plasticity: Aluminum plain coil has good ductility and plasticity, easy to be processed into a variety of complex shapes through stamping, bending, stretching and other processes to meet the needs of diversified product design.

– Excellent thermal conductivity: Aluminum has good thermal conductivity, second only to silver, copper and gold, which gives aluminium plain coils a significant advantage in applications requiring heat dissipation, such as heat exchangers and cooling equipment.

– Environmentally friendly and recyclable: Aluminum is a highly recyclable metal material, and the recycling of aluminum coils not only reduces resource consumption, but also reduces environmental pollution, in line with the concept of sustainable development.

Plain aluminium coil has a wide range of applications in many fields, including:

– Construction industry:

Used for building facades, roofs, doors, windows, curtain walls, etc., favored for its light weight, corrosion resistance and aesthetics.

– Packaging Industry:

Used for food packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, etc., due to its good barrier and moisture resistance.

– Transportation:

Used in automobiles, airplanes, ships and other structural parts, because of its lightweight and high strength characteristics can improve fuel efficiency and load capacity.

– Electrical and Electronics:

Used in the shells of electrical equipment, heat sinks, conductive connectors, etc.

– Home appliances and furniture:

Used in the production of shells, frames, decorative parts, etc., to enhance the aesthetics and durability of the product.

In summary, aluminium plain coils occupy an important position in the metal sheet market with its excellent material properties and wide range of applications. With the progress of science and technology and industrial upgrading, the production process of aluminum coil will be optimized continuously, the performance will be further improved, and the application fields will be more extensive.
