Aluminum Strips
Aluminum Strips
Aluminum strip is a term used for aluminum sheet and foil in rolls with a thickness greater than 0.2mm and a width ranging from 20mm to 100mm.
When produced in narrower widths, it is often referred to as split strip. Aluminum sheets are cut to the required size using slitting tools. The raw material for aluminum strips is either pure aluminum or aluminum alloy, sourced from hot-rolled cast-rolling aluminum coils and hot-rolled coils.
These materials are processed through a cold-rolling machine to achieve various thicknesses and widths.
Subsequently, a vertical cutting and slitting machine is used to produce strips of different widths. When the thickness is less than 0.2mm, it is called an aluminum foil strip or aluminum foil coil.

Aluminum Strips: The Ultimate Guide
Aluminum strips are widely used in the building industry, industrial constructions, air-conditioning and ventilation, the automotive industry, and equipment components in diverse products.
So what’s the grade? What’s the production process of these strips?
In this guide, we will show you details about all.
What Are Aluminum Strips?
The raw material for aluminum strips is either pure aluminum or aluminum alloy, sourced from cast-rolled or hot-rolled aluminum coils. These are processed into thin aluminum coils of varying thicknesses and widths using a cold rolling mill and then slit according to specific applications.
An aluminum strip is an aluminum alloy with an aluminum content exceeding 99.5%, often referred to in the industry as a pure aluminum strip due to its high aluminum content. These strips are produced by slitting aluminum coils.
Thanks to their high aluminum content, these strips exhibit excellent plasticity, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity. This makes them ideal for further processing, such as stamping, extrusion, and deep drawing. They are commonly used to produce various aluminum foil products, as well as components for electronics, lamps, nameplates, and electrical products.
How Aluminum Strips Are Made?
Aluminium Ingots/Master Alloys — Melting Furnace — Holding Furnace — Slab — Hot Rolling — Cold Rolling — Slitting Process (vertical cutting to narrow width) — Annealing Furnace (unwinding) — Final Inspection — Packing — Delivery
