What is an aluminum strip?

Aluminum strip (aluminum strip) refers to a flat, rectangular, long and thin aluminum sheet. The raw materials of aluminum strips are pure aluminum or aluminum alloy cast-rolled aluminum coils and hot-rolled aluminum coils. How are aluminum strips made? They are rolled into thin aluminum coils of different thicknesses and widths by a cold rolling mill, and then longitudinally slit into different widths by a slitting machine according to the purpose.

Made of aluminum strip, it is lightweight, has good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. Strips of aluminum are typically produced in various widths and thicknesses to suit specific applications.

What is the impact of aluminum strip thickness on use?

The thickness of the aluminum strip directly affects its use effect and life cycle. Too large or too small thickness will affect the performance and reliability of the product. If the thickness of the strips of aluminum is less than the nominal value, its strength and rigidity will be reduced, and it will be more likely to deform or break. On the contrary, if the thickness of the aluminum strip exceeds the nominal value, it will not only waste material resources, but also increase manufacturing difficulty and cost. Therefore, the nominal thickness of aluminum strip is usually between 0.15mm and 5.0mm.
