Industrial Aluminum Foil
Industrial Aluminum Foil
Industrial aluminum foil (IAF) provides a versatile solution useful for a variety of applications spanning a myriad of industries. Though similar to traditional aluminum foil, IAF often includes the addition of other metals like magnesium, manganese, copper, nickel, silicon, or zinc, creating aluminum alloys with properties designed to meet specific industrial needs.
To establish additional distinctions and provide a better understanding of the importance of this material to industries, this page will explore the manufacturing process, beneficial properties, and relevant applications for IAF products.
Industrial Aluminum Foil
IAF is produced by rolling aluminum slabs cast from molten aluminum, followed by rerolling on sheet and foiling mills until it reaches the desired thickness. A slightly more cost-effective method of IAF fabrication includes continuous casting and cold rolling. Finished sheets of industrial aluminum foil are available in continuous rolls, folded sheets, and more. Most foil sheet thicknesses are below 0.008 inches.
IAF offers a range of beneficial properties that make it useful within a variety of applications within aerospace, industrial, chemical, food and beverage, and many other industries. Some of these benefits include:
