How Much Do You Know About Aluminum Coil?

 

Whether a project requires aluminum foil or aluminum sheet, aluminum coils are at the back of the manufacturing process. Aluminum coils are formed by rolling a continuous strip of aluminum into a coil.

 

 

 

The Basics of Coil Coating

 

 

Coil coating is the way in which a coating material is applied to a strip of steel or aluminum. A coil of sheet metal is fed continuously into the process, which is controlled by accumulators at each end of the line. They load the bare metal coils at one end and release the finished product at the other end. A coil coating process is used in between.

 

 

 

What we are doing actually means high speed, continuous coil coating. What makes high-speed, continuous coil coating possible is the uninterrupted application of cleaning, handling, coating, curing and potential leveling while the sheet is flat, all in one high-speed path through the coil coating line.

 

 

 

 

Advantages of aluminum

 

 

Some of the advantages of aluminum coil are that it is lightweight, heavily loaded and able to resist corrosion. Corrosion resistance can be further improved by a process called anodizing, where a protective layer of oxide is applied to the surface of the aluminum.

 

 

 

Aluminum vs copper and steel

 

 

Why do manufacturers choose aluminum coils over other durable materials such as steel or copper? Aluminum is about 33% the density and weight of steel, and it produces much lighter parts. As a result, it can reduce handling costs and shipping costs. Overall, aluminum costs about 50% less than copper.

 

 

 

Aluminum's impact on the environment

 

 

Aluminum is very friendly to the environment because of its ability to be recycled. This eco-friendliness is further enhanced by the fact that aluminum can be recycled an unlimited number of times. In the transportation sector alone, this provides a huge benefit to the planet. Specifically, the average vehicle consists of about 7% aluminum, but at the end of the average vehicle's useful life, aluminum accounts for about 40% of the total material scrap value.

 

 

 

 

The Uses of Aluminum Coils

 

 

Aluminum coil for architectural decoration

Because aluminum coil can produce dense aluminum oxide film on its surface, has good corrosion resistance, excellent processing and welding properties, so aluminum coil is often used in large quantities in architectural decoration. Most of the time, it is used for surface decoration. Except for the first time, most construction projects rely on aluminum coil to help design structures, windows, doors, ceilings, curtain wall profiles, pressed panels, painted panels, etc.

 

 

 

Aluminum coils for transportation

One might wonder how aluminum coils and transportation could possibly be related. If you look closely at the vehicles in your life, you will find that the infrastructure of most vehicles is actually made of aluminum coils. There are also many aluminum coil products in automobiles. In the early years, in order to save energy and reduce emissions, cars all over the world required weight reduction, and the light weight of aluminum coil was widely used in cars. Aluminum coil behind the car is light, durable and rust-resistant. Most of the transportation vehicles that rely on aluminum coil manufacturing include engine parts, air conditioners, radiators, wheels, doors, etc.

 

 

 

 

Aluminum Coil for Electronics and Appliances

Metal used in electronic appliances will require the metal to have good electrical conductivity, although the electrical conductivity of aluminum coil is not as good as copper, but the corrosion resistance of aluminum coil makes electronic products can be used for a long time, so aluminum coil is also widely used for electronic equipment. Some objects with power lines and air conditioners with electrical components can withstand environmental clothing for a long time, which is the reason why most electronic products usually have a fairly long service life.

 

 

 

The key to choosing aluminum coils

 

 

When choosing aluminum coils, we should pay attention to choosing the right aluminum coil alloy, which directly depends on the performance of the coil and the specific use scenario. Before buying aluminum coil, make sure to pay attention to the liquidity issue.
