AL9776 Aluminum Magnesium Alloy Foil (AlMg6)

Aluminium Magnesium Alloy Foil (AlMg6) Description

Aluminium Magnesium Alloy Foil (AlMg6) consists primarily of aluminium with controlled additions of magnesium and manganese to enhance its strength and workability. The foil is produced with attention to thickness uniformity and microstructural consistency, as verified by SEM analysis. Its chemical stability and mechanical form factor make it an efficient barrier in applications requiring lightweight, conductive, and corrosion-resistant materials. The rigorous process control ensures that the foil meets stringent industrial standards.

Aluminium Magnesium Alloy Foil (AlMg6) Applications

1.       Electronics
   - Used as a shielding layer in electronic housings to minimise electromagnetic interference by leveraging its stable electrical conductivity.
   - Applied as a microelectronic substrate to achieve thermal management and efficient signal routing by utilising its controlled thickness.

2.       Automotive
   - Serves as a component in lightweight structural panels to reduce overall vehicle weight by capitalising on the alloy’s high strength-to-weight ratio.
   - Frequently used in heat exchangers where its excellent thermal conductivity facilitates effective heat dissipation.

3.       Industrial Processing
   - Applied as a protective barrier in chemical processing equipment to prevent contamination by exploiting its resistance to corrosive environments.
   - Used as a flexible seal in industrial packaging to maintain integrity in aggressive process conditions through its uniform material properties.

Aluminium Magnesium Alloy Foil (AlMg6) Packing

The foil is packaged in anti-static, high-density polyethylene bags to safeguard against contamination and physical damage. Each unit is further secured within corrugated fibreboard boxes to mitigate handling stress during transit. The packaging design supports controlled storage conditions by preventing moisture ingress and particulate contamination. Options for customised packaging, including specialised labelling and additional cushioning, are available upon request.
