For cost-effective and practical consideration, the surface color-coated polyester (PE) coating and Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF) coating have a bright color and strong adhesion; the product has good corrosion and weather resistance. See the detailed introduction as follows for details.

Advanced Color-Coated Process
Polyester-Coated Pre-Coating Technology (PE Coating)

The polyester coating is an anti-UV UV polyester resin coating; its primary component uses polymers containing ester bonds in the main chain as monomers, adding alkyd resin and an ultraviolet absorber. After baking polyester coating on the surface of aluminum (aluminum sheet, aluminum coil) many times, it forms a solid film with protection and decoration. The polyester coating protects color-coated aluminum products (aluminum sheets, aluminum coils) from exposure to the atmosphere due to temperature differences, freeze-thaw cycles, corrosive gases and microorganisms, ultraviolet radiation, wind, rain, frost, and snow.

Furthermore, the polyester coating is a powerful tool for enhancing the visual appeal of aluminum substrate products. It offers a rich color palette for color-coated aluminum products, and depending on the desired gloss, the polyester coating can be divided into matte and highlight series. This aesthetic enhancement ensures that the color-coated aluminum coil not only has good gloss and smoothness but also superior texture and feel, increasing the sense of layer and three-dimensionality. Its ability to enhance the visual appeal makes it a perfect fit for interior decoration and advertising boards.

Polyvinylidene Difluoride Coating Technology (PVDF Coating)

Fluorocarbon coating is PVDF resin. It mainly refers to vinylidene fluoride homopolymer or vinylidene fluoride and other small amounts of fluorinated vinyl monomer copolymer coatings. The fluoric acid-base material with a fluorine/carbonization bond has a stable and firm chemical structure, which makes the physical properties of fluorocarbon coatings different from those of general coatings.

Fluorocarbon coatings can be divided into traditional fluorocarbon coatings and nano-fluorocarbon coatings according to the film formation structure of the surface. In 1965, the Pennwalt Chemical Company of the United States, for the first time, used fluorocarbon paint for the coating of indoor and outdoor aluminum in high-grade buildings. A wide range of color selectivity, solemn appearance, and durability added luster to many magnificent curtain wall buildings around the world.

Fluorocarbon coatings, in addition to their mechanical properties of wear and impact resistance, demonstrate exceptional long-term fading and UV resistance in harsh climates and humid environments. After high-temperature grilling, the molecular structure of the coating becomes tight, ensuring superior weather resistance. The manufacturer’s guarantee of the service life of the coating has been extended from 10 years to 15 years, and now even exceeds 20 years, providing a secure and long-lasting investment.

Fluorocarbon coatings have been extensively tested and compared with super and general coatings by American research institutions. The samples of the coatings were exposed to hot sunlight in Florida, the United States, and to the harsh environment of humid salty air for 12 years. This rigorous testing proves that the stability and durability of fluorocarbon coatings are 30%-80% higher than those of the other two coatings, providing reassurance about their reliability. Fluorocarbon coatings are a dependable choice for various harsh environments, especially for indoor and outdoor decoration in public places, commercial chains, exhibition advertising, and other decorations and displays.

Differences Between DC Casting And CC Casting

The thickness of 0.7 mm refers to the thickness of aluminum coils, commonly used in various industries for roofing, cladding, and fabrication applications. So, comparing the quality of aluminum coils with a 0.7 mm thickness through some details on DC and CC Casting could help us get a clear and reasonable result.

DC (Direct Chill) Casting
  • The direct chill casting process produces a magnificent and uniform aluminum grain structure.
  • This fine-grain structure gives aluminum strength, formability, and corrosion resistance compared to other casting methods.
  • Direct chill-casting aluminum coils are often used in applications that require deep drawing or complex forming, such as automotive body panels, heat exchangers, and food/beverage cans.
  • The 0.7 mm thickness is on the thinner end for DC casting aluminum. However, this gauge is still suitable for many formed and fabricated components.
CC casting (Continuous Casting)
  • Continuous Casting is a more economical process than DC casting.
  • CC-casting aluminum billets, blooms, or slabs have a slightly larger grain structure than DC-casting. However, it is still suitable for a wide range of applications.
  • CC-casting aluminum coils with a thickness of 0.7 mm are commonly used for general sheet metal fabrication, roofing, siding, and other building/construction applications.
  • The 0.7 mm thickness provides a good balance of formability, strength, and lightweight properties for these types of uses.

In summary, DC-casting aluminum coils have superior mechanical properties and surface quality compared to CC-casting but at a slightly higher cost. Even so, neither DC nor CC-casting aluminum coils with a thickness of 0.7 mm can exhibit good flatness, surface quality, and dimensional tolerance and can be used in different applications depending on the project’s specific requirements.
The choice between the two kinds of production technology depends on the end product’s specific performance requirements, economic considerations for the specific application, and customer requirements. DC casting is preferred when superior formability and strength are needed. In contrast, CC casting is more economical for less demanding applications.

However, the high magnesium alloy 5083 aluminum coil’s corrosion resistance is extreme to maintain good corrosion resistance at low temperatures. In Marine and offshore engineering, 5083 aluminum coils are often used to make cryogenic vessels and structures, thanks to their toughness and strength at low temperatures.
  2. High Temperature Environment
    • At high temperatures, the corrosion rate of aluminum alloys may increase. Although the 5083 aluminum coil has good corrosion resistance, the oxide film on its surface may be damaged under high-temperature conditions, thereby reducing its corrosion resistance. Therefore, when using a 5083 aluminum coil under high-temperature conditions, it is necessary to consider whether its corrosion resistance meets the requirements.
  • Effect of Temperature on Corrosion Type
  1. Intergranular Corrosion
    • Intergranular corrosion is a common corrosion form of aluminum alloy under certain conditions. When the 5083 aluminum coil is stabilized and annealed within a specific temperature range (such as above 100℃), it is easy to precipitate β phase (Al3Mg2) along the grain boundary, which becomes sensitive to intergranular corrosion. However, we can reduce the intergranular corrosion sensitivity of the 5083 aluminum coil by adequately adjusting the alloy composition and optimizing the heat treatment process.
  2. Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC)
    • Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is a destructive form of aluminum alloy corrosion caused by the combined action of stress and corrosive medium. For 5083 aluminum coils, stress corrosion cracking may occur under certain temperatures and stress conditions. Therefore, when designing and using 5083 aluminum coils, it is necessary to fully consider the risk of stress corrosion cracking and take corresponding preventive measures.
  • Specific Applicable Temperature Range

Generally speaking, the operating temperature range of aluminum alloy 5083 is between -196°C and 250°C. 5083 aluminum coil can maintain good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties in this temperature range. However, it should be noted that the specific applicable temperature is also affected by factors such as alloy composition, heat treatment state, and force conditions. Therefore, in practical applications, temperature design and use recommendations need to be made according to the specific situation to ensure its performance and safety performance.

In summary, the 5083 aluminum coil’s corrosion resistance is indeed affected by temperature. At low temperatures, it is usually stable. While it is necessary to consider whether it meets the requirements in high-temperature environments. In addition, it is essential to pay attention to the effect of temperature on corrosion types, such as intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion cracking, and take appropriate preventive measures to reduce the risk.

At high temperatures, 5083 aluminum coils have the possibility of oxidation, but their oxidation rate and degree are affected by a variety of factors.

  • Essential Characteristics of 5083 Aluminum Coil

5083 aluminum coil is a high magnesium alloy with good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. It contains a certain proportion of magnesium, which reacts with oxygen to form a stable oxide film on the surface of the aluminum plate, thereby improving the aluminum plate’s heat resistance and oxidation resistance to a certain extent.

  • Oxidation Behavior at High Temperatures
  1. Oxidation Rate
    • In a high-temperature environment, it will accelerate the oxidation rate of the 5083 aluminum coil. The high temperature promotes the reaction rate of oxygen with aluminum and alloying elements, making the formation and growth of an oxide film more rapid. However, the specific oxidation rate is also affected by many factors, such as temperature, oxygen concentration, alloy composition, and surface treatment state.
  2. Characteristics of Oxide Film
    • The oxide film formed at high temperatures may have different structures and properties. For example, the oxide film’s thickness, density, and adhesion will change with the temperature change. In some cases, high temperatures may cause the oxide film to break or peel, exposing a new aluminum surface and further accelerating the oxidation process.
  • Factors Affecting Oxidation
  1. Temperature
    • Temperature is one of the main factors affecting the oxidation of aluminum coils. As the temperature increases, the rate of oxidation usually increases.
  2. Alloy Composition
    • The magnesium element in a 5083 aluminum coil plays a crucial role in its oxidation behavior. Magnesium’s content and distribution affect the oxide film’s formation and properties. When the aluminum coil appeared at high temperatures, magnesium could react with oxygen to form a stable oxide film on the surface of the aluminum plate. This film acts as a protective layer, thereby improving the aluminum plate’s heat and oxidation resistance to a certain extent.
  3. Surface Treatment
    • Proper surface treatment (such as anodizing) can form a complex and corrosion-resistant oxide film on the surface of the aluminum coil, thereby improving its oxidation resistance.
  4. Environmental Media
    • Environmental media at high temperatures (such as oxygen concentration, humidity, etc.) will also affect the oxidation behavior of aluminum coils.
  • Application Recommendations at High Temperatures
  1. Control the Temperature
    • When using a 5083 aluminum coil, avoiding prolonged exposure to high-temperature environments is crucial. This proactive measure puts you in control, reducing the likelihood of oxidation and ensuring the coil’s longevity.
  2. Select the Appropriate Alloy Composition
    • By selecting the appropriate alloy composition and content based on specific application requirements, you can significantly enhance the oxidation resistance of your aluminum coil. This knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions about your materials.
  3. Finish the Surface
    • The surface treatment, such as anodizing aluminum coil, is carried out to improve its surface hardness and corrosion resistance, thereby slowing down the oxidation rate at high temperatures.
  4. Monitoring and Maintenance
    • In use, it should regularly check and maintain the aluminum coil to discover and deal with oxidation problems in time and ensure the stability and safety of its performance.

In summary, the 5083 aluminum coil can oxidize at high temperatures, but its oxidation rate and degree are affected by various factors. By controlling the temperature, selecting the appropriate alloy composition, surface treatment, and regular monitoring and maintenance measures, the oxidation rate at high temperatures can be effectively slowed down, improving the aluminum coil’s service life and performance stability.

The content and distribution of magnesium in the 5083 aluminum alloy are mainly reflected in its chemical composition and microstructure. This information can be found in the relevant material specifications, technical data sheets, or professional literature. The following are specific descriptions of magnesium content and distribution.

  • Content of Magnesium
  1. Standard Magnesium (Mg) Content-Range
    • The standard magnesium (Mg) content range in 5083 aluminum alloys is usually between 4.0% and 4.9% (mass percentage). This range is determined according to material standards and production requirements. It may vary from batch to batch or supplier to supplier, but it is generally within this range.
  2. Importance
    • Magnesium is the primary alloying element in 5083 aluminum alloy, which has an essential effect on its properties. Adding magnesium can significantly improve aluminum alloy’s corrosion resistance, weldability, and strength.
  • Distribution of Magnesium
  1. Uniformity
    • In the ideal alloy state, the magnesium element should be evenly distributed in the aluminum alloy’s matrix. This uniform distribution helps ensure the alloy properties’ stability and consistency. However, in the actual production process, due to the influence of various factors (such as the melting process, cooling speed, etc.), the distribution of magnesium elements may be uneven.
  2. Phase Composition
    • Magnesium in aluminum alloys may form different phases from aluminum and other alloying elements (such as silicon, copper, etc.). These phases’ type, quantity, and distribution will affect the alloy’s properties. In 5083 aluminum alloy, magnesium mainly forms a solid solution with aluminum and may create a small intermetallic compound phase.
  3. Microstructure
    • The distribution of magnesium also affects the microstructure of aluminum alloys. For example, adding magnesium may promote grain refinement, improving the alloy’s strength and toughness. In addition, magnesium may also affect the formation and distribution of precipitated phases (such as β phase) in the alloy, affecting its corrosion resistance and stress corrosion cracking sensitivity.
  • The Way to Obtain Magnesium Content and Distribution Information
  1. Material Specification
    • The material specification the manufacturer or supplier provides usually details the alloy’s chemical composition range, including the magnesium content.
  2. Technical Data Sheet
    • Some professional material databases or technical data sheets will also provide detailed chemical composition and physical properties data of 5083 aluminum alloy.
  3. Professional Literature
    • Relevant academic papers, research reports, or technical manuals may also contain information about the content and distribution of magnesium in 5083 aluminum alloy.
  4. Experimental Analysis
    • If more accurate information is required, the content and distribution of magnesium in the alloy can be determined by experimental analysis (such as spectral analysis, electron microscope observation, etc.).

In summary, the content and distribution of magnesium in 5083 aluminum alloys are critical parameters that impact the alloy’s properties. Relevant material specifications, technical data sheets, or professional literature can provide this information. Experimental analysis is also an essential means of obtaining accurate data.

Magnesium significantly impacts the performance of 5083 aluminum alloy, mainly reflected in the following aspects.

  • Strength and Hardness
  1. Strengthening Effect
    • Adding magnesium can significantly improve the strength and hardness of 5083 aluminum alloy. Magnesium can form a solid solution with aluminum in aluminum alloys, and this solution-strengthening effect enhances the alloy’s mechanical properties.
  2. Influence Mechanism
    • The addition of magnesium promotes the refinement of grains in aluminum alloys, and delicate crystal strengthening is also an effective way to improve the strength of materials. At the same time, magnesium may also form intermetallic compound phases with other alloying elements, and the presence of these phases also contributes to the strength of the alloy.
  • Corrosion Resistance
  1. Improved Corrosion Resistance
    • Magnesium has excellent corrosion resistance in 5083 aluminum alloys. The addition of magnesium can form a dense oxide film on the surface of the alloy, effectively blocking the intrusion of corrosive media and thus improving its corrosion resistance.
  2. Application Environment
    • Due to its good corrosion resistance, 5083 aluminum alloy is widely used in harsh environments, such as damp and salt spray, in shipbuilding and Marine structures. It can maintain the surface finish and brightness for a long time and resist the erosion and oxidation of seawater.
  • Welding Performance
  1. Good Weldability
    • 5083 aluminum alloy has good weldability and is inseparable from adding magnesium. Magnesium helps the alloy form a good weld during the welding process. The weld’s mechanical properties are similar to the base material’s and will not significantly reduce the alloy’s overall properties.
  2. Application Areas
    • 5083 aluminum alloy’s good welding performance allows it to be quickly processed into various shapes and sizes to meet the needs of complex structural parts in automotive manufacturing, aerospace, pressure vessels, and other fields.
  • Other Performance
  1. Machinability
    • 5083 aluminum alloy also has good machinability, resulting from the combined action of magnesium and other alloying elements. This allows the alloy to maintain a lower cutting force and cutting temperature during processing, improving processing efficiency and processing accuracy.
  2. Heat Treatment Performance
    • Adding magnesium also improves the heat treatment performance of 5083 aluminum alloy. The alloy’s microstructure and mechanical properties can be further adjusted through the appropriate heat treatment process to meet the performance requirements in different use scenarios.

In summary, magnesium has a comprehensive impact on the performance of 5083 aluminum alloys. It improves the alloy’s strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, and weldability. At the same time, the addition of magnesium also enhances the alloy’s machinability and heat treatment performance. These excellent properties make 5083 aluminum alloy widely used in many industrial fields.

Citation: Effect of Ca and Mn on Corrosion Behavior of Mg-Zn Alloys in Phosphate Buffer Solution.

The addition of magnesium significantly enhances several key performance indicators of 5083 aluminum alloy, notably strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. Here’s a breakdown of those effects:

  • Strength
  1. Enhancement
    Magnesium is the primary alloying element of 5083 aluminum alloy, and its content is usually between 4.0% and 4.9%. Adding magnesium can significantly improve the tensile strength and yield strength of 5083 aluminum alloy. For example, the tensile strength is usually between 330 and 450 MPa, the yield strength is generally between 240 and 260 MPa, and some data indicate that the tensile strength σb (MPa) can even reach ≥270, and the yield strength σ0.2 (MPa) can reach ≥110.
  2. Mechanism
    The introduction of magnesium forms a solid solution in the aluminum alloy, producing a solid solution-strengthening effect. This process also facilitates grain refinement, leading to fine crystal strengthening and an overall improvement in the alloy’s strength.
  • Hardness
  1. Lift Effect
    Adding magnesium also helps improve the hardness of 5083 aluminum alloy, which is usually between 70 and 95 HB. Still, the thickness and state of the aluminum plate (e.g., O state, H32, etc.) also affect the specific hardness value. For example, the hardness of 5083-O aluminum plate above 10mm is HB67, and the hardness of 5083-H112 is about HB70.
  2. Mechanism of Action
    Magnesium interacts with other alloying elements to form intermetallic compound phases, such as Mg2Si and MgZn2, which strengthen the dispersion of the alloy, thereby increasing its hardness.
  • Corrosion Resistance
  1. Improved Corrosion Resistance
    Magnesium plays an excellent role in the corrosion resistance of 5083 aluminum alloys. It helps to form a dense oxide film on the alloy’s surface, which can effectively block the intrusion of corrosive media, thus significantly improving the alloy’s corrosion resistance.
  2. Application Environment
    Because 5083 aluminum alloy has excellent corrosion resistance, it is widely used in occasions that need to resist harsh environmental corrosion, such as in saltwater, acidic or alkaline environments, and high humidity conditions. These include shipbuilding, Marine structures, pressure vessels, and other fields.

In summary, adding magnesium does improve three key performance indicators of 5083 aluminum alloy: strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. These exceptional properties make 5083 aluminum alloy a versatile and widely used material across numerous industrial fields.

In aluminum alloys, the content of magnesium is usually determined by chemical analysis methods, and the specific calculation process may involve sample pre-treatment, chemical reaction, quantitative determination, and result calculation steps. However, directly giving a simple calculation formula to “calculate” magnesium content may be inaccurate, as the process often involves complex chemical analysis and data processing. However, I can outline a common approach and explain its rationale.

  • Basic Principle of Magnesium Content Calculation
  1. Sample Preparation
    First, a representative sample must be obtained from the aluminum alloy material. The samples may undergo pre-treatment steps, such as crushing and grinding, to improve chemical analysis.
  2. Chemical Analysis
    Chemical analysis is a critical step in determining magnesium content. Commonly used methods include spectral analysis (such as atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, etc.), titration analysis, gravimetry, etc.
    These methods use specific chemical reactions to separate magnesium from aluminum alloys and perform quantitative determination.
  3. Result Calculation
    After the quantitative determination of magnesium is obtained, it needs to be converted into a form such as mass percentage or molar percentage to represent the content. The calculation formulas may vary depending on the analytical method, but the basic principles are similar. For example, suppose the magnesium concentration has been determined by spectroanalysis (usually expressed in mg/L or microg/ml, etc.). In that case, proper conversion must be made to the mass percentage in the sample.
  • Example Calculation Method (Hypothetical Case)

While it is not possible to give an exact formula that applies to all cases, I can provide an example based on assumptions to illustrate the possible calculation process:

  • Assumed Conditions: The concentration of magnesium in the sample solution measured by some chemical analysis method (such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) is C mg/L, and the solution is known to be obtained by dissolving m grams of aluminum alloy samples in V liters of solvent.
  • Calculation Steps
  1. First, calculate the total mass of magnesium in the sample solution: MMg = C × Vmg.
  2. Then, the total mass of magnesium is converted to the mass percentage in the sample: Mg content =(mMMg)×100%.
  • Matters Attention
  1. In the actual calculation, various factors that may affect the accuracy of the result need to be considered, such as the uniformity of sample preparation, the accuracy of chemical analysis, the accuracy of data processing, etc.
  2. Different aluminum alloy materials may contain different kinds of alloying elements and impurity elements. The presence of these elements may interfere with the determination of magnesium. Therefore, these factors must be considered when selecting chemical analysis methods and data processing.

Because calculating magnesium content in aluminum alloy involves complex chemical analysis and data processing, it is impossible to give a simple calculation formula directly. In practical application, the appropriate chemical analysis method should be selected according to the specific situation. The operation and data processing should be carried out in strict accordance with the operating procedures to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results.

Failure to adhere to these guidelines can lead to a deterioration in product quality during the transportation and storage of aluminum coils.

  1. Moisture-proof and moisture-proof
    • Although aluminum coil is an excellent self-rust-proof aluminum material, corrosion will still occur in some specific or extreme environments. Therefore, the aluminum coil should avoid direct contact with the humid environment or highly corrosive substances (such as strong acids and alkalis) to prevent oxidation and corrosion.
    • When storing, choose a dry, well-ventilated warehouse and check its humidity regularly. At the same time, to improve corrosion resistance, anodizing, electroplating, or color coating can be performed on the surface of the aluminum coil to form a dense oxide film or coating.
  2. Avoid Scratches: The aluminum coil’s surface is easily scratched, so direct contact with sharp objects should be avoided during loading, unloading, and transportation. Appropriate protective measures, such as using soft bedding to cover the surface, should be taken.
  3. Reasonable Stacking: The aluminum coil should be stacked vertically to avoid heavy pressure and bending deformation. At the same time, the stacking height should be a manageable height to avoid product damage and collapse accidents.
  4. Regular Inspection: Proactively checking the appearance and performance of the aluminum coil during the storage period is crucial. If any abnormality is found, handling it promptly ensures the quality and safety of the product.
  5. Compliance with Specifications: Adhering to relevant specifications and safety requirements during transportation and storage is a key factor in ensuring the safety of personnel and products. It instills a sense of security and confidence in the process.

By diligently following these precautions, you can rest assured that the quality stability of aluminum coils will be effectively protected during transportation and storage.

The aluminum coil price will be affected by many factors, such as market supply and demand, raw material prices, and processing technology. Therefore, the specific price of an aluminum coil needs to be determined according to several factors. The multiple factors that the price limitation include the following aspects:

  1. Basic Material Fee.
    • Aluminum is the base material of aluminum coils, and the price will vary with different specifications and thicknesses. Generally speaking, the thinner the thickness, the higher the price; the more significant the corresponding length and width, the higher the price. In addition, there will be price differences between aluminum rolls from different manufacturers.
  2. Alloy Composition.
    • Understanding the alloy composition’s role in the performance of the aluminum coil is crucial. It influences factors such as strength and corrosion resistance, empowering buyers to make informed decisions based on their needs and budget.
  3. Manufacturing Technology.
    • The production process of the aluminum coil plays a significant role in determining its price. For instance, the domestic aluminum coil is primarily made from waste materials through melting, casting, and rolling. In contrast, the imported aluminum coil is typically made from raw aluminum alloy through melting and casting. Understanding these differences in production processes and raw material costs helps buyers comprehend why the price of imported aluminum coils is usually higher than that of domestic aluminum coils.
  4. Surface Coating.
    • The surface of the aluminum coil needs to be coated, and different coating materials and coating thicknesses will affect the price. PVDF coating is more expensive but has better weather resistance and longer service life. The cost of PE coating is lower, but the weather resistance could be better than that of PVDF coating.
  5. Market Demand and Supply.
    • Market demand and supply also affect the price of aluminum coils. When demand is more significant than supply, prices may rise. Conversely, when supply is more significant than demand, prices may fall.

So, the current market price of 5052 aluminum coil is affected by various factors, including raw material prices, supply and demand, processing costs, etc. Recent market data, such as that from authoritative platforms like ‘My Steel network,’ illustrates the significant price variations of 5052 aluminum coils across different markets and alloy states. Taking the Chinese market as an example, the price of a 5052/O state conventional aluminum plate is about 25130-25240 yuan/ton, while the cost of an H32 state is similar.

When purchasing aluminum rolls, it’s crucial to consider these factors and select the type that best fits your requirements and budget. We strongly encourage each customer to engage in detailed communication and negotiation with the supplier to ensure the best price and service.

DC and CC Casting, two crucial methods in aluminum production, refer to different casting ways of producing aluminum billets, blooms, or slabs. Casting is a process of shaping ingots by pouring the liquid metal into a mold, followed by solidification. Casting is a metal treatment detail produced by pouring metal into a mold. In some cases, casting is the only method of shaping a metal or alloy.

DC stands for Direct Chill Casting. It is a vertical semi-continuous casting process for manufacturing cylindrical or rectangular ingot/billet for non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper alloys. The widely used casting process involves solidifying molten metal in a water-cooled mold, resulting in an aluminum ingot with a fine-grain structure. So, the direct chill casting aluminum billets, blooms, or slabs are suitable for deep drawing or complex forming. Therefore, extrusion, rolling, or forging technology can further process direct chill-casting aluminum ingot.

The DC casting process is the most common application for casting aluminum billets, and more than half of the world’s aluminum billets, blooms, or slabs are cast using direct chill casting. This widespread use underscores the process’s importance in the global aluminum production industry.

CC casting, or Continuous Casting, is a process that continuously solidifies molten metal into ‘semi-finished’ billets, blooms, or slabs. It’s a method that’s not only used for casting aluminum billets but also gaining popularity in the aluminum industry.

The lower inherent cost of continuous, standardized production and improved process and quality control through automation allows continuous casting technology to produce better-quality metal profiles at a lower price.

This process is most commonly used for casting steel (by tonnage). So do aluminum and copper. In the aluminum industry, CC-casting aluminum billets, blooms, or slabs are often used to produce general-purpose aluminum rolls.

Yes, specific industries tend to prefer DC-casting aluminum coils over CC-casting, especially for applications that require the enhanced mechanical properties and surface quality of DC-casting material. This preference is driven by the numerous benefits that DC-casting offers, such as:

Automotive Industry:
  • The automotive sector is a significant consumer of DC-casting aluminum coils.
  • The high strength, formability, and surface finish of DC casting are crucial for producing complex body panels, structural components, and heat exchangers.
  • Automakers value the tight dimensional tolerances and consistent quality of DC-casting aluminum.
Aerospace and Defense:
  • The superior mechanical properties of DC-casting aluminum are essential for aerospace and defense applications.
  • Components like airframe structures, engine parts, and defense equipment demand the high strength-to-weight ratio of DC casting.
  • The enhanced fatigue life and corrosion resistance are also meaningful in these industries.
Packaging:
  • Beverage cans, food containers, and other tight-tolerance packaging applications often utilize DC-casting aluminum.
  • Fine grain structure and smooth surface finish are critical for deep drawing these products.
  • Consistent thickness and flatness ensure good sealing and performance.
Electronics:
  • Electrical enclosures, heat sinks, and other electronic components may use DC-casting aluminum coils.
  • The higher strength allows for thinner designs without compromising performance.
  • Smooth surfaces are essential for aesthetic appeal and thermal management.

While more costly, the enhanced properties of DC-casting aluminum make it the preferred choice in industries with stringent performance requirements. However, improved performance and durability often offset this higher cost, making DC-casting a cost-effective solution for many applications. CC casting remains suitable for more general applications where the premium properties of DC casting are not as critical.

The appropriate aluminum coil thickness selection must be determined according to the specific application scenario and requirements. Thinner aluminum rolls are generally suitable for occasions where weight and cost must be reduced. In comparison, thicker aluminum rolls have better strength and stability. When selecting, it is recommended to consult a professional salesperson or engineer to ensure that the most suitable aluminum coil thickness is specified.

Factors Affecting the Weight of Aluminum Rolls

The weight of an aluminum coil depends on its material density, length, width, and thickness. With the exact specifications for aluminum coils, different manufacturers may produce a specific difference in weight, which can be measured by a weight meter and other equipment. At the same time, the coating material and treatment process in the production process of the aluminum coil will also have a particular impact on its weight. Generally, the weight of the standard aluminum coil is between 500 and 5000kg.

Aluminum coil weight calculation formula

Aluminum coil weight (kg) = aluminum coil length (m) × aluminum coil width (m) × aluminum coil thickness (m) × aluminum coil density (kg/m³)

Among them, the density of the aluminum coil is 2.7×103kg/m³.

For example, if the aluminum coil’s specifications are a width of 1 m, a thickness of 0.3 mm, and a length of 100 m, then the weight can be calculated according to the following formula: weight = 2.7 g/cm3 x 10,000cm x 100 cmx0.03 cm = 81,000 g = 81Kg.

Notes: When calculating the weight of the aluminum coil, it is necessary to pay attention to the unity of the unit, such as the length and width need to be converted into centimeters or meters.

Weight reference value corresponding to standard specifications of aluminum coil

The following are common aluminum coil weight reference values for reference only:

The above data is for reference only. The specific weight must be calculated and measured according to the aluminum coil’s specifications.

When calculating the length of the aluminum coil, it is necessary to understand the specific specifications. Generally speaking, the specifications will indicate the aluminum coil’s width, thickness, and length. If only partial information about the weight and specifications of the aluminum coil is known, the size of the aluminum coil can be reversed.

For example, if the aluminum coil specification is 800mm wide, 0.5mm thick, 100kg in weight, and the density of aluminum is known to be 2.7g/cm³, then its length can be calculated as follows:

  • Step1: Calculate the aluminum coil area

Area = 800mm x 0.5mm = 400mm² = 0.04m²

  • Step2: Calculate the aluminum coil length

Length = 100kg / 2.7g/cm³ / 0.04m² = 925.93m

Therefore, the length of the above aluminum coil is 925.93m.

Notes: When calculating the length of the aluminum coil, please pay attention to the distinction between standard specifications and the correct application of the weight calculation formula.
