Aluminum foil and aluminum coil are both versatile aluminum alloy materials used in different applications across various industries. Aluminum coil alloy and aluminum foil alloy have similar properties in many aspects, but also have many different characteristics. Huawei will make a detailed comparison between the two in terms of properties, uses, etc.:
Aluminum Foil: Aluminum foil is a thin sheet of aluminum, typically less than 0.2 millimeters (mm) thick. It is commonly used for wrapping food, packaging, insulation and cooking. Aluminum coils: Aluminum coils are continuous rolls of aluminum sheets commonly used in industrial applications such as roofing, construction, automotive and manufacturing.
Aluminum foil: Aluminum foil is very thin, typically 0.006 mm to 0.2 mm (6 microns to 200 microns). It is available in various thicknesses depending on the specific application.
Aluminum coil: Aluminum coil is thicker than aluminum foil. Their thickness ranges from approximately 0.2 mm to several millimeters, depending on the intended use.
Aluminum Foil: Aluminum foil is typically produced by rolling aluminum ingots through rolling mills to achieve the desired thickness. The foil is then annealed and may undergo additional treatments for specific properties.
Aluminum Coils: Aluminum coils are produced in a similar manner to aluminum foil but are typically thicker and wider. The process involves hot or cold rolling of aluminum ingots or billets through rolling mills to produce continuous coils of various thicknesses and widths.
