What are the alloys of aluminum foil?

What alloys are there in aluminum foil? Some friends will have this question, what kind of aluminum foil alloy is generally needed? Today I will take you to understand some issues about the characteristics of aluminum foil. The aluminum alloy generally used in aluminum foil production is generally determined based on the customer's application requirements and the capabilities of the production equipment. Commonly used alloys for aluminum foil include 1235, 1200, 3003, 8006, 8011, 8079, etc. High-purity aluminum is generally used to make flexible packaging aluminum foil, capacitor aluminum foil, and industrial aluminum foil.
 

What are the alloys of aluminum foil?


 



Aluminum foil is made from different series of aluminum alloys, each with unique advantages. Usually aluminum foil alloys are divided into 1XXX, 3XXX and 8XXX series. The specific information of each series is as follows:

1XXX series alloys: The main component is pure aluminum, with a minimum aluminum content of 99%. The 1XXX series alloys have two characteristics: the first is high electrical conductivity, and the second is good corrosion resistance. 1XXX alloys are suitable for certain specialized applications where corrosion resistance is critical.

The production of 1235 aluminum foil has always been strictly controlled in terms of product quality, which can ensure the excellent performance of the product.

3XXX Series Alloys: Mainly composed of aluminum with a small amount of manganese (1-1.5%). The most commonly used aluminum foil alloy in the 3XXX series is 3003, which has two notable features, one is corrosion resistance and the other is formability. It is commonly used in kitchen cooking and food packaging.

Our most common aluminum foil food containers are made of 3003 aluminum foil.

8XXX series alloy: 8XXX series is a very common alloy. It has two characteristics: excellent barrier properties and oxygen resistance. It is often used in kitchen applications as well as aerospace and high-tech applications. Small rolls of aluminum foil in supermarkets are mostly made of large rolls of 8011 aluminum foil and are widely used.

8011 is a series of Aluminum Foils, which is added with Al-Fe-Si elements, and its alloying properties have higher advantages in more than 1% of the total alloying elements. 8011 is often used to make food-grade aluminum foil, and its performance is better than pure aluminum foil. It can also be used as a packaging material in combination with other materials.

The most commonly used aluminum foil series is aluminum alloy 8079 aluminum foil, which is widely used in flexible packaging. Due to its excellent characteristics, it has a certain status in flexible packaging. 8079 aluminum foil is widely used in food and pharmaceutical packaging. , electronic and electrical appliance packaging and household daily necessities, etc., usually used as packaging materials.

 



The most commonly used ones are 1235 aluminum foil, 3003 aluminum foil, 8011 aluminum foil, and 8079 aluminum foil. This depends on your specific use to choose the specific alloy number, so as to achieve the best results.

If you are interested in or need these 4 types of aluminum foil rolls, you can contact HTMM.





The quality of the aluminum foil rolls produced by HTMM is guaranteed, and the width and thickness of the aluminum foil can be very precise. The thickness gauge ensures precise control of the outlet thickness and enhances the surface tension of the aluminum foil roll. It is not less than 32 dynes under the dyne pen test, and the misalignment error of the aluminum foil roll does not exceed ±1.0mm.

 

How to judge the quality of aluminum foil?


There are many manufacturers that can produce aluminum foil, and aluminum foil prices will vary. Well, at this time, the decisive factor is the quality of the aluminum foil. So how to judge the quality of aluminum foil is very important.

If you need aluminum foil in large quantities and want to get high-quality aluminum foil products at the best prices, keep your eyes peeled and choose a trustworthy aluminum foil manufacturer. In this regard, HTMM aluminum foil manufacturer stands out, and cooperating with HTMM is definitely your wisest choice.
