AL9781 1050A Aluminum Alloy Foil

1050A Aluminium Alloy Foil Description

1050A Aluminium Alloy Foil is produced from high purity aluminium with an emphasis on dimensional consistency and surface uniformity. The foil undergoes a precision rolling process and subsequent annealing treatment to achieve a consistent microstructure. This uniformity supports thermal management and chemical inertness, making the product suitable for environments that demand predictable mechanical and thermal performance. Its simple chemical composition (Al) minimises variability in performance.

1050A Aluminium Alloy Foil Applications

1.       Electronics
   - Used as a thermal management component in LED assemblies to achieve efficient heat dissipation by leveraging the foil’s high thermal conductivity.
   - Applied as a shielding layer in circuit assemblies to minimise electromagnetic interference by utilising its uniform thickness.

2.       Industrial Processing
   - Employed as a barrier in chemical systems to attain corrosion resistance by utilising aluminium’s chemical inertness.
   - Used as a reflective surface in solar thermal collectors to improve light reflection by capitalising on its consistent surface finish.

3.       Packaging and Storage
   - Utilised as a protective wrap in packaging systems to prevent moisture ingress by taking advantage of its non-permeable properties.

1050A Aluminium Alloy Foil Packing

1050A Aluminium Alloy Foil is packaged in anti-static, inert wrapping to protect against surface oxidation and mechanical damage. The foil is sealed in robust, flat containers to maintain its structural integrity. Recommended storage conditions include a cool, dry environment to prevent contamination. Custom packaging configurations are available to meet specific handling and long-term storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What quality control methods are applied during the foil production process?
A1: Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) employs quantitative metallography and spectrometric analysis to verify the foil’s uniform thickness and microstructure. These methods detect variations in impurity levels and ensure consistent rolling and annealing, supporting the foil’s predictable mechanical and thermal performance.

Q2: How does the precision rolling process impact the foil’s performance in industrial applications?
A2: The precision rolling process ensures a uniform thickness and consistent microstructure, which is critical for thermal management and chemical resistance. This uniformity results in predictable behaviour under mechanical stress and varying temperature conditions, enhancing operational efficiency.

Q3: What storage conditions are recommended to maintain the foil's properties?
A3: The foil should be stored in a cool, dry environment in inert, anti-static packaging to prevent surface oxidation and contamination. These controlled conditions help maintain the foil’s structural integrity and consistent performance over time.
