Aluminum Coil

Aluminum Coil
Aluminum coil is a continuous coil of aluminum or aluminum alloy as the main raw material, processed by hot or cold rolling process, with the following core features: light weight, corrosion resistance, high ductility, electrical/thermal conductivity, environmental protection and recyclability.

Sheet Properties
01
Environmental Benefits

Aluminum is 100% recyclable without losing its properties, making it an eco-friendly choice.

The recycling process requires only 5% of the energy needed to produce new aluminum.

02
Cost Efficiency

Aluminum is generally cheaper than copper, making it a popular choice for manufacturers looking to cut costs without sacrificing performance.

It offers a good balance between affordability and efficiency, especially in large-scale production.

03
Thermal Conductivity

Aluminum has excellent thermal conductivity, making it ideal for heat exchangers, air conditioning units, and refrigeration systems.

It dissipates heat efficiently, improving energy efficiency in cooling and heating applications.

04
Corrosion Resistance

Aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer, making it highly resistant to corrosion.

Some alloys (e.g., 3003, 5052) offer enhanced corrosion resistance, especially in humid or marine environments.

05
Strength-to-Weight Ratio

Aluminum coils are lightweight but strong, reducing the overall weight of products without compromising durability.

Some alloys, like 6061 or 7075, offer higher strength, while others like 1100 or 3003 focus on flexibility and formability.

06
Electrical Conductivity

Aluminum has about 61% of the electrical conductivity of copper, making it a cost-effective alternative for electrical applications.

It is commonly used in transformers and power transmission lines.

07
Formability and Malleability

Aluminum coils can be easily rolled, bent, and formed into different shapes without cracking.

This makes them suitable for roofing, siding, and automotive applications where shaping is essential.

08
Durability and Longevity

With proper coatings (e.g., anodized, painted, or laminated), aluminum coils can last for decades in outdoor applications.

Compared to copper coils, aluminum coils are less prone to damage from physical impact but may be more susceptible to coil leakage if not properly maintained.

Production Process
  • Quality Control
    01
    Quality Control

    Throughout the process, strict quality control checks are performed, including:

    ✅ Thickness & Dimensional Accuracy

    ✅ Surface Finish Inspection

    ✅ Mechanical Property Testing

    ✅ Corrosion Resistance Evaluation

  • Packaging & Distribution
    02
    Packaging & Distribution

    The final aluminum coils are wrapped, strapped, and prepared for shipment.

    Proper packaging ensures protection from damage during transport.

  • Raw Material Preparation (Casting Process)
    03
    Raw Material Preparation (Casting Process)

    High-purity aluminum ingots are melted in a furnace.

    Alloying elements (such as magnesium, silicon, and manganese) may be added to achieve the desired properties.

    The molten aluminum is then cast into large slabs or billets using either a direct chill (DC) casting or continuous casting process.

  • Hot Rolling
    04
    Hot Rolling

    The cast aluminum slabs are preheated to around 400–500°C (750–930°F).

    They are passed through a series of rollers to reduce thickness gradually.

    This process improves the mechanical properties and refines the grain structure.

  • Cold Rolling
    05
    Cold Rolling

    After hot rolling, the aluminum is cooled and fed into cold rolling mills to further reduce thickness.

    Cold rolling enhances surface finish, improves mechanical properties, and increases hardness.

    The final thickness of the aluminum coil is achieved in this stage.

  • Annealing (Heat Treatment - Optional)
    06
    Annealing (Heat Treatment - Optional)

    If the coil requires additional flexibility or strength, it undergoes an annealing process at controlled temperatures.

    This process relieves internal stresses and enhances formability.

    Different tempers (H14, H24, O, etc.) are achieved through specific annealing methods.

  • Surface Treatment & Coating (Optional)
    07
    Surface Treatment & Coating (Optional)

    Depending on the application, the aluminum coil can undergo various treatments:

    Anodizing: Enhances corrosion resistance and improves appearance.

    Color Coating (Pre-Painting): Adds a protective or decorative layer for construction and appliance use.

    Embossing: Creates textures for aesthetic or functional purposes.

  • Slitting & Cutting
    08
    Slitting & Cutting

    The aluminum coil is cut into specific widths or lengths using slitting machines.

    This step customizes the product based on industry requirements.
