What is aluminum coil?
Aluminum coil is the rolled product that has been calendered by a finishing mill but has not been processed by a leveling flying shear. It is the raw material of aluminum strip and aluminum sheet. The slitting equipment can cut aluminum coil into aluminum strip, and the flattening equipment can make aluminum coil into aluminum sheet.
Aluminum coils can be divided into different types according to different alloys, applications and surface treatments.

Bottle cap materials
There are two kinds of materials for making pop cans: aluminum and tinplate. Due to the high recycling value of aluminum, the use of aluminum cans is gradually increasing for the purpose of environmental protection. Aluminum can has the advantages of light weight, small size, not easy to break, and easy to carry, so it is favored by more people.
The aluminum strip used for the can cover is formed by stamping with a punch at one time, and then the shape of the can cover is obtained through stamping plastic deformation, resulting in good deformation strengthening, so that the stamping parts have the characteristics of light weight, high strength and good rigidity.
A pop can is usually formed by sealing the can body with the can cover. The body of a pop can is usually made of aluminum alloy plates after several times of thinning and stretching. The aluminum materials used for the can cover, pull ring and can body are different.
