| Abstract Scope |
AA8079 alloy is widely used in the packaging industry, particularly in the form of aluminum foil, due to its mechanical properties and rolling capability. One of the critical aspects of these applications is surface quality. Since it directly affects printing and appearance quality, it is especially important that the grain and rolling traces on the matte surface of the foil are not prominent. In this study, the 8079 alloy was cast using the twin-roll continuous casting method. The effects of different casting thicknesses were experimentally studied and examined, along with various thermomechanical processes. The significance of casting thickness variation as a dominant factor in the thermomechanical production of packaging foil products was investigated. The factors contributing to this variation were characterized using metallurgical analysis techniques. The increase in casting thickness significantly improves and homogenizes the casting grain structure, which directly reflects on the final product quality. |
