Why are aluminum coils so corrosion resistant?

Aluminum is actually a very active metal, in the sense that it oxidizes very quickly. This feature, while a weakness for most metals, is actually the key to its ability to resist corrosion. When oxygen is present (in the air, soil, or water), aluminum instantly reacts to form aluminum oxide. This aluminum oxide layer is chemically bound to the surface, and it seals the core aluminum from any further reaction. This is quite different from oxidation (corrosion) in steel or other metals, where rust puffs up and flakes off, constantly exposing new metal to corrosion. Aluminum’s oxide film is tenacious, hard, and instantly self-renewing.

Process and Application of Aluminum Strips

Aluminum strips refers to further processed products of aluminum coil. As important raw material in many industries, they can be divided into eight series, among which only four are the most widely applied: 1000 series, 3000 series, 5000 series and 8000 series. In accordance to different temper states, aluminum strips are classified into three types: O state, H24 state and H18 state. O stands for the softest state. H24 stands for half hard state and H18 hard state. Owing to the fact that most aluminum strips need to be bent or twined, O state proves to be the most popular one.
