AL9766 A96151 Aluminum Alloy Foil

A96151 Aluminium Alloy Foil Description

This product consists of a foil manufactured from an alloy of aluminium, magnesium, silicon, and copper, offering balanced workability and strength. Controlled annealing refines its microstructure and maintains uniform thickness, ensuring dimensional precision. Such characteristics are critical in applications requiring lightweight shielding, effective electrical conductivity, and predictable mechanical performance. The material is produced under strict tolerances, facilitating its integration into various industrial manufacturing processes.

A96151 Aluminium Alloy Foil Applications

1.       Electronics
- Used as a conductive layer in flexible circuits to achieve EMI shielding by leveraging the alloy's consistent electrical properties.
- Applied as a grounding sheet in sensor assemblies to minimise signal interference through controlled conductivity.

2.       Industrial
- Serves as a barrier in packaging systems to maintain product integrity by utilising its uniform thickness and corrosion resistance.
- Utilised in heat exchangers as a reflective surface to regulate thermal efficiency by exploiting its low density and recyclability.

A96151 Aluminium Alloy Foil Packing

The foil is securely packaged in moisture-resistant, anti-static envelopes and enclosed in corrugated boxes to prevent mechanical damage and contamination. It is recommended to store the material in a dry, temperature-stable environment to inhibit oxidation. Custom packaging options are available to accommodate specific dimensions or handling requirements, ensuring safe transit and storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What techniques are employed to ensure uniform foil thickness?
A1: SAM utilises laser micrometry and advanced optical inspection systems during the production process, which monitor and confirm consistent thickness across entire roll lengths.

Q2: How is the alloy composition maintained throughout production?
A2: In-line spectrometry and periodic electron microscopy analyses are used to monitor elemental ratios, ensuring that the alloy’s composition remains within defined tolerances for optimal performance.

Q3: Are custom dimensions available for the foil?
A3: Yes, SAM offers customisation in terms of width, length, and thickness. This flexibility allows customers to match the foil with specific manufacturing processes and application requirements.

Additional Information

Aluminium alloys are extensively used in non-ferrous applications due to their lightweight properties and corrosion resistance. The incorporation of elements such as magnesium, silicon, and copper enhances mechanical strength and thermal stability. These characteristics make aluminium alloys suitable for a broad range of industrial sectors, including electronics, automotive, and packaging.

In parallel, the precise control of alloy composition and processing parameters has driven innovations in metallurgical practices. This has enabled the development of foils and sheets that consistently meet demanding industrial specifications while remaining cost-effective and recyclable.
