Thermomechanical and Metallographic Comparison of Twin-Roll CAST 1235, 3003, 8006, and 8079 Alloy Series Used in the Production of Foil Manufacturing

Aluminum alloys produced by the twin-roll continuous casting method are frequently used in construction, packaging, transportation, etc. areas of use. In this study, the effect of the products produced with different process types on the thermomechanical and metallographic behaviors of the 1235, 3003, 8006, and 8011 alloy series, which are used in the packaging industry as foil products (crumpled container, household foil, flexible packaging, etc.), was investigated. Homogeneous annealing, intermediate annealing, and final annealing processes and their combinations were applied to the related alloys. Process differences are mentioned with microstructure (grain size distribution, centerline segregation) and mechanical properties (tensile test) analysis.
