5052 Aluminum

5052 aluminum alloy belongs to aluminum-magnesium alloy and is a commonly used rust-proof aluminum. It has good corrosion resistance, weldability and cold working performance, and has medium strength. These characteristics make aluminum 5052 strip widely used in the field of bottle cap manufacturing.

Applicable bottle cap types

Wine bottle caps: Whether it is beer caps, red wine caps or white wine caps, 5052 aluminum strips can do the job. Its good processing performance can meet the design requirements of different wine bottle caps, produce exquisite and durable bottle caps, and enhance the grade and image of products.

Beverage bottle caps: 5052 aluminum strips also play an important role in the manufacture of functional beverages, carbonated beverages and other bottle caps. After coating, its surface is bright, which can add appeal to beverage packaging.

Medical bottle caps: The corrosion resistance and stability of 5052 aluminum strips make it a suitable choice for medical bottle caps, which can ensure the safety of drugs during storage.

Cosmetic bottle caps: For cosmetic bottle caps, 5052 aluminum strips can be made into exquisite bottle caps that match the image of cosmetic brands through various surface treatment processes.

Processing methods

The rolling methods of 5052 aluminum plates include hot rolling and cold rolling. Hot rolling is often used to produce thick aluminum plates or aluminum strips, while cold rolling is suitable for manufacturing thin plates, thin strips, etc. In actual production, 5052-H32 aluminum plates are hot-rolled aluminum plates. Generally, after hot rolling on a hot rolling mill, they are cold rolled 1-2 times, and then annealed and finished into finished products.

3104 aluminum

3104 aluminum sheet is a deformable aluminum and aluminum alloy, belonging to the Al-Mg-Mn series of heat-treatable non-strengthening alloys. It has good deep drawing performance, suitable strength and excellent corrosion resistance, which makes 3104 aluminum plate an ideal material for the manufacture of food and beverage bottle caps.

Applicable food and beverage bottle caps

Can caps: Whether it is a can cap for carbonated beverages, juice drinks or beer, 3104 aluminum plate is widely used. Its good deep drawing performance is suitable for thinning and stretching to reduce weight, thereby reducing material consumption and reducing costs. At the same time, it can ensure the sealing and safety of the bottle cap, ensuring that the quality of the beverage is not affected.

Food can caps: 3104 aluminum plate also plays an important role in the manufacture of canned food caps such as eight-treasure porridge and beef cans. It is stable in nature and is not easy to react with the food contained, which can effectively ensure the safety and shelf life of the food.
