Aluminum coil is a roll material with aluminum as the main material. It has the characteristics of light weight, corrosion resistance, good electrical and thermal conductivity, and easy processing. It is widely used in many fields.
The following is a detailed introduction to 6 common applications of aluminum coil:
- Roof and wall materials: Aluminum coils can be processed into aluminum tiles, aluminum wall panels, etc., which are used for roof and exterior wall decoration of buildings. For example, some modern-style buildings use corrugated plates or flat plates made of aluminum coils as roofing materials, which can not only meet the waterproof requirements but also have beautiful appearance.
- Curtain wall decoration: Curtain wall panels of various shapes are made by stamping, bending and other processing of aluminum coils, such as single-plate curtain walls, honeycomb aluminum panel curtain walls, etc. These curtain wall panels have good flatness and decorativeness, and can be used for the facade decoration of office buildings, commercial buildings, hotels and other buildings.
- Ceiling materials: Aluminum coils can be processed into ceiling materials such as aluminum gussets and aluminum grilles. Aluminum gussets have the advantages of light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning. They are widely used in ceiling decoration in kitchens, bathrooms, offices and other places; aluminum grilles have unique shapes and transparent effects, and are often used in ceilings in large public places such as shopping malls, stations, and airports.
- Doors, windows and shutters: Aluminum coils can be used to make door and window frames and shutter blades. Aluminum doors and windows have good sealing, heat insulation and sound insulation, while aluminum shutters can adjust light and ventilation, and have beautiful appearance.
2. Packaging field
- Food packaging: Aluminum coils can be made into aluminum foil for food packaging. Aluminum foil has good barrier properties and can effectively prevent food from getting damp, oxidized, and deteriorating. It also has the characteristics of high temperature and low temperature resistance. It can be used to package candy, chocolate, biscuits, tea, medicines, etc. For example, our common chewing gum packaging and aluminum foil in medicine packaging.
- Beverage packaging: Aluminum coils can be processed into cans for packaging carbonated drinks, beer, juice and other beverages. Cans have the advantages of light weight, easy to carry, good sealing, and recyclability. They are currently one of the main forms of beverage packaging.
- Daily chemical packaging: Aluminum coils can be used to make daily chemical packaging such as toothpaste tubes and cosmetic tubes. Aluminum packaging tubes have good barrier properties and ductility, can effectively protect the contents, and have a beautiful appearance.
3. Electronic and electrical field
- Conductive materials: Aluminum has good conductivity, and aluminum coils can be made into aluminum wires, aluminum bars, etc., which are used for power transmission and circuit connection of electronic equipment. For example, in some power systems, aluminum wires are widely used in overhead transmission lines; in electronic equipment, aluminum bars can be used to connect power supplies and various components to play a conductive role.
- Heat dissipation materials: Aluminum has good thermal conductivity, and aluminum coils can be processed into heat sinks for heat dissipation of electronic equipment. For example, computer CPU heat sinks, power supply heat sinks, etc. usually use aluminum heat sinks to help electronic components dissipate the heat generated during work and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
- Shielding materials: Aluminum has good electromagnetic shielding properties, and aluminum coils can be made into aluminum foil or aluminum mesh for electromagnetic shielding of electronic equipment. For example, in some electronic instruments and communication equipment, aluminum foil or aluminum mesh is used to shield sensitive components to prevent electromagnetic interference.
- Battery materials: In the field of batteries, aluminum coils can be used to make the positive electrode current collector of the battery. For example, the positive electrode of a lithium-ion battery usually uses aluminum foil as the current collector, and the positive electrode active material is attached to it.
4. Transportation field
- Automobile manufacturing: Aluminum coils are widely used in automobile manufacturing. For example, the body panels, engine hoods, doors, trunk lids and other parts of the car can be made of aluminum sheets made of aluminum coils to reduce the weight of the car and improve fuel economy and performance; the radiator, air conditioning condenser and other parts of the car can be made of aluminum strips or aluminum foil made of aluminum coils to improve heat dissipation efficiency.
- Rail transit: In the field of rail transit, aluminum coils can be used to manufacture the body, interior decoration parts, floors, etc. of trains, subways, light rails and other vehicles. Aluminum body has the advantages of light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance, which can reduce the energy consumption and operating costs of vehicles.
- Aerospace: Aluminum coils also have important applications in the aerospace field. For example, the fuselage, wings, tail and other parts of the aircraft can use high-strength aluminum alloy coil materials to reduce the weight of the aircraft and improve flight performance; some parts of rockets and satellites can also use aluminum coil materials.
5. Industrial manufacturing field
- Mechanical manufacturing: Aluminum coils can be used to manufacture various mechanical parts, such as gears, shafts, housings, etc. Aluminum parts have the advantages of light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, which can improve the performance and service life of the machinery.
- Pipes and containers: Aluminum coils can be processed into aluminum tubes, aluminum cans, etc., for conveying liquids and gases or storing items. For example, in the chemical, petroleum, food and other industries, aluminum tubes can be used to convey corrosive media or food-grade liquids; aluminum cans can be used to store cosmetics, medicines, etc.
- Printing plates: In the printing industry, aluminum coils can be made into PS plates (pre-coated photosensitive plates) for printing plate making. PS plates have the advantages of fast plate making speed, good printing quality, and high printing durability. They are one of the commonly used plates in the current printing industry.
6. Other fields
- Billboards and signs: Aluminum coils can be processed into billboards, signboards, etc. for commercial promotion and identification. Aluminum billboards have the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance, and easy processing. They can be made into billboards of various shapes and sizes, such as large outdoor billboards, signboards inside shopping malls, etc.
- Artworks and crafts: Aluminum coils can be made into various artworks and crafts, such as aluminum sculptures, decorations, jewelry, etc. through engraving, stamping, welding and other processes. Aluminum has strong plasticity and can be made into various complex shapes, while having a beautiful metallic luster.
- Solar energy field: In the field of solar photovoltaics, aluminum coils can be used to make frames and brackets for solar panels. Aluminum frames and brackets have the advantages of light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, which can ensure the safe installation and use of solar panels.
