The current status of aluminum beverage cans in China

China has a large amount of aluminum beverage cans. And at present, aluminum cans are in the initial stage. Aluminum strips for beverage cans require good deep-drawing performance, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, excellent surface quality, high strength, sufficient plasticity, and strict dimension tolerances. To achieve these quality requirements, materials are required to have the right alloy composition, good metallurgical quality, reasonable structure and shape tolerances. At the same time, in the production of aluminum strips, the requirements for process and equipment levels are relatively high. Therefore, the production of aluminum strips for cans is an important indicator of the level of aluminum processing in a country.

For the production of aluminum strips in China, the biggest gap compared with the internationally advanced companies in the same industry is also in terms of production technology and equipment:1. The aluminum alloy strip for can making is a high-precision aluminum strip. Among the most representative products, the production process is complex and the control of the production process is difficult. At the same time, the automation level of canned production lines that have been built and under construction in China has become higher and higher, and the quality requirements for aluminum alloy strips for cans have also increased. The higher. However, the metallurgical quality of the materials used for producing aluminum strips for cans in China is generally poor, which directly affects the full play of the properties such as deformation of materials. 2. Production equipment The aluminum strips used for producing cans are mainly large-scale aluminum processing equipment such as hot rolling mills and cold rolling mills. Their installation level and control methods require high prices and are expensive. For example, the hot rolling mill of the American aluminum company Tennessee Plant, which manufactures aluminum strips for cans, is an SMS five-stand hot rolling mill, and Japan Light Metals owns a “1+3” hot strip mill. However, most of the hot rolling equipment in China is relatively backward, and the installation level and control accuracy are not high, which restricts the large-scale production of aluminum strips for cans. In addition, in order to ensure the quality of raw materials metallurgy, advanced casting equipment is indispensable, and this is also a lack of domestic enterprises. The
The backwardness of the production of aluminum strips for cans has been fundamentally changed. Compared with the internationally advanced aluminium strip manufacturers for cans, there is still a large gap between domestic technology and equipment, but with the increase of investment, advanced technologies and With the introduction of equipment, the production of aluminum strips for China cans will be further enhanced. The successive production of two "1+4" hot strip mills will make a qualitative change in the overall production level of aluminum strips for cans.
Mingtai aluminum beverage cans with 3004aluminum and 3104 aluminum alloy are the most popular in the market.
