An Overview of Annealed Aluminium Slugs for Cosmetic Product Packaging

Aluminum slugs are the core materials for impact extrusion, requiring stringent material uniformity and impurity control precision.annealed aluminium slugs for cosmetic product packaging As such, the 1070 aluminum alloy is regarded as a “golden material” for impact extrusion production. In the cosmetic product packaging field, 1070 aluminum slugs have smooth inner walls and can withstand direct contact with food products. In the pharmaceutical industry, they can be used to manufacture capsule shell packaging cans and ointment tubes, meeting strict biocompatibility requirements.

The production of annealed aluminium slugs involves three phases: bar preparation, stamping and saw cutting. First, Qichuang Metal uses hot-extruded bars or precision drawn bars made from EN AW-1xxx, EN AW-3xxx, EN AW-5xxx, and EN AW-6xxx series alloys to ensure consistent formability and deep drawing performance. The bars are then cut into slugs using high-productivity saw cutting machines. After being cut, the slugs are soft annealed and surface treated. The slugs are then packaged and shipped.

After slugs are prepared, they undergo rigorous inspection and weighing to ensure the quality of the finished product. They are packed in cardboard boxes, which are then placed on wooden pallets for shipment. This packaging is designed to protect the slugs from damage during transportation and shipping.

Aluminium slugs are available in different shapes and dimensions, including flat round, semicircular, and conical. They can also be produced as perforated or non-perforated. They are also available in a range of thicknesses, from 2.5 to 40mm. They are then annealed to achieve the desired properties and tolerances.

Stamped aluminium parts are often used in automotive, electrical and aeronautical applications. They offer superior machinability and corrosion resistance. They are lightweight, which contributes to reduced energy consumption. They are also highly recyclable, contributing to improved environmental sustainability. A variety of surface treatments are available for the slugs, including mill finish, bright, polished, coarse, tumbled and blasted. In addition, they can be rolled to achieve the required hardness. These treatments are applied to improve the appearance of the slug and facilitate application of cold extrusion lubricants. This allows for more efficient stamping and forming. The slugs can also be treated with chemicals to provide added functionality, such as corrosion resistance and water-proofing. For example, the slugs can be coated with an anti-rust coating for use in marine applications. The coating can also improve conductivity and reduce the temperature at which the slugs melt. This can be useful for reducing energy consumption in the production of automotive parts such as radiators, pistons and hydraulic filter housings.
