Aluminum cans are the most commonly used beverage packaging materials in life. The aluminum for cans is mainly composed of three kinds of aluminum alloys with different compositions: 3004 aluminum for can body, 5052 aluminium coil for caps and 5182 aluminum for pull ring. Aluminum alloy is the key to making the can, the shape is not formed and the pull of the can lid can not open are all because of the aluminum alloy. Thus, the right aluminum alloy should be usedi n the right places of aluminum cans.
The can body for aluminum cans is mainly made of 3004 aluminum alloy coil, and the 3004 aluminum coil is a variant alloy of 3003. It has good formability, weldability, corrosion resistance and solderability. Since aluminum itself has good oxidation resistance, it is well used in cans to prevent oxidation and corrosion of carbonated beverages on the can.
![[Image: 1-1F303111T4196-300x231.jpg]](http://www.aluminiumstrip-hm.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1-1F303111T4196-300x231.jpg)
The caps for the aluminum cans is made of 5052 aluminium coil, and the ring for the pull ring is made of alloy 5182. Both 5052 alloy and 5182 alloy belong to the aluminum-magnesium alloy, which have good corrosion resistance, good weldability, cold workability, medium strength, and the surface is very bright after polishing. However, the 5182 alloy is relatively high in magnesium content compared to the 5052 aluminum alloy sheet, and a small amount of silicon is added, so the weldability is better than that of the 5052 alloy. Therefore, the 5052 alloy is mostly used for the can lid, and the 5182 alloy is mostly used for the pull ring.

Aluminium can
The major uses for aluminium metal are in
Transportation (automobiles, aircraft, trucks, railway cars, marine vessels, bicycles, spacecraft, etc.). Aluminium is used because of its low density;
Packaging (cans, foil, frame etc.). Aluminium is used because it is non-toxic, non-adsorptive, and splinter-proof;
Building and construction (windows, doors, siding, building wire, sheathing, roofing, etc.). Since steel is cheaper, aluminium is used when lightness, corrosion resistance, or engineering features are important;
Electricity-related uses (conductor alloys, motors and generators, transformers, capacitors, etc.). Aluminium is used because it is relatively cheap, highly conductive, has adequate mechanical strength and low density, and resists corrosion;
A wide range of household items, from cooking utensils to furniture. Low density, good appearance, ease of fabrication, and durability are the key factors of aluminium usage;
Machinery and equipment (processing equipment, pipes, tools). Aluminium is used because of its corrosion resistance, non-pyrophoricity, and mechanical strength.
Aluminium coins have been produced for small denomination currency, owing to its low manufacturing cost and negligible bullion value.[citation needed]
Compounds
The great majority (about 90%) of aluminium oxide is converted to metallic aluminium. Being a very hard material (Mohs hardness 9),] alumina is widely used as an abrasive; being extraordinarily chemically inert, it is useful in highly reactive environments such as high pressure sodium lamps. Aluminium oxide is commonly used as a catalyst for industrial processes; e.g. the Claus process to convert hydrogen sulfide to sulfur in refineries and to alkylate amines. Many industrial catalysts are supported by alumina, meaning that the expensive catalyst material is dispersed over a surface of the inert alumina.Another principal use is as a drying agent or absorbent.
Laser deposition of alumina on a substrate
Several sulfates of aluminium have industrial and commercial application. Aluminium sulfate (in its hydrate form) is produced on the annual scale of several millions of metric tons. About two thirds is consumed in water treatment. The next major application is in the manufacture of paper. It is also used as a mordant in dyeing, in pickling seeds, deodorizing of mineral oils, in leather tanning, and in production of other aluminium compounds.[120] Two kinds of alum, ammonium alum and potassium alum, were formerly used as mordants and in leather tanning, but their use has significantly declined following availability of high-purity aluminium sulfate. Anhydrous aluminium chloride is used as a catalyst in chemical and petrochemical industries, the dyeing industry, and in synthesis of various inorganic and organic compounds. Aluminium hydroxychlorides are used in purifying water, in the paper industry, and as antiperspirants. Sodium aluminate is used in treating water and as an accelerator of solidification of cement.

| Why is my cat scared of aluminium foil? |

Cats hate being surprised by loud unexpected sounds, and the tearing off of aluminum foil is high on the “hate” list. The cat figures if you are even handling the foil, that terrible sound is about to happen without ntoice. Some time in the past, your cat has been horribly startled by the sound.
When I trained my most recently adopted cat (I only own one at a time), I taught him a new cokmand I’d never tried on earlier cats. I use the words”watch out!” in a tense tone, along with athe animal’s name before turning on the vacuum, tearing foil, or if the toaster is going to pop up. The cat learns that something he doesn’t like, especially a loud sound that would normally scare the pants off him (because it can’t be predicted) is about to happen. My cat is far more relaxed and does pay attention to what happens next, but never freaks out like past cats did.
As far as you cat is concerend, aluminum foil makes horrible sounds at any time of day or night when someone holds it. If the cat is warned in advance, they are much calmer and happier pets.

Bottle closure caps are a common necessities in the life of residents. For example, wine caps, milk powder caps, tea caps, etc. are all processed with closure caps material. For the processing of closure caps, there are high requirements, such as surface and plate shape of the material and stamping properties, aluminum for closure caps is a ideal material. The main aluminum alloy grades of the closure cap material are 1060, 8011, 3105, 3104, etc. The main tempers are H14, H16, H18 and so on. The most common seen is 3105 aluminum sheet for closure caps. The commonly used cap material has specification thickness ranging from 0.15mm to 0.5mm, width of 200-1500mm, thickness tolerance of ±0.005mm, and tolerance of width range of ±1mm.
![[Image: 8-300x300.jpg]](http://www.aluminiumstrip-hm.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/8-300x300.jpg)
Aluminum closure cap material for packaging products will has longer shelf life, because 3105 aluminum sheet has good oxidation resistance to ensure that the quality of the product will not be damaged, in addition, 3105 aluminum closure sheet cap material has very good corrosion resistance, this is the main reason why some high-end products use aluminum cap, especially polished aluminum cap, plus the later processing, the surface gloss and brightness are quite good. The surface requirements of 3105 aluminum sheet for closure caps material is also very high, there can not appear dark spots, oil stains and other stains, in addition,the standard for stamping performance of aluminum closure sheet coil is also very high.

It is soft and malleable. Aluminium is used in a huge variety of products including cans, foils, kitchen utensils, window frames, beer kegs and aeroplane parts. This is because of its particular properties. It has low density, is non-toxic, has a high thermal conductivity, has excellent corrosion resistance and can be easily cast, machined and formed. It is also non-magnetic and non-sparking. It is the second most malleable metal and the sixth most ductile.
It is often used as an alloy because aluminium itself is not particularly strong. Alloys with copper, manganese, magnesium and silicon are lightweight but strong. They are very important in the construction of aeroplanes and other forms of transport.
Aluminium is a good electrical conductor and is often used in electrical transmission lines. It is cheaper than copper and weight for weight is almost twice as good a conductor.

As it has been known, aluminum sheet production is a traditional processing industry, it has been more than 50 years development in this industry. Due to the producing technology and the raw material of many factories are different, result in the price of aluminum sheet is different. There may have many customers find that the aluminum sheet price is higher than last order, they may confused and want to know the reasons why aluminum sheet price varies frequently. As a professional aluminum sheet manufacturer, Haomei Aluminum can tell you our opinion on the aluminum sheet price variety.
![[Image: 27-300x300.jpg]](http://www.aluminiumstrip-hm.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/27-300x300.jpg)
Aluminum sheet belongs to custom product because different customer has different specification, so the price of aluminum sheet have related to three aspects. The first is the current price of aluminum, aluminum is the raw material, it must be the first factor that influence aluminum sheet price. The second is the cost of processing, the difficulty of processing and the surface spraying are the main reasons, common processing price will be lower than special demands. The last one is the cost of transportation, the package cost and the delivery cost are included, as a fact, the cost of deliver by ship is much lower than that of airline. When there are customers require for the quotation, we will quote according to the current price of aluminum, if the customer has special requirement on the surface coating or package, the price of aluminum sheet will be higher.
