Aluminum foil is generally associated with cooking, although it actually has multiple household uses. Foil is a good product to use for projects that require a metallic or flexible matter, such as crafts, decorations, antennas and fishing lures. Projects made from aluminum foil may require cutting different types of pieces after the sheets are ripped off the roll of foil. Cutting aluminum foil into smaller or unusual shapes can be a little tricky as it wrinkles and creases easily.
Step 1
Rip a piece of aluminum foil from the roll. Heavy duty foil is recommended for cutting complex or intricate shapes as it holds its shape more than regular foil. Try to rip the smallest piece necessary for your project.
Step 2
Lay the foil piece flat on a hard surface. Smooth out any wrinkles.
Step 3
Measure the size of foil you would like to cut. Draw the measurements or any shapes you will be cutting onto the foil with a permanent marker.
Step 4
Layer 5 or 6 pieces of foil on top of one another if you need to cut multiple pieces or shapes. Layering the foil eases cutting and speeds up the process.
Step 5
Cut along the lines you have drawn on the foil. Regular scissors should be able to easily cut through aluminum foil.
Step 6
Place each piece or shape that you have cut on to a flat surface. Run your hand over each one to get any wrinkles out. You can also smooth out foil by carefully rubbing the shapes with a small cutting board or book.

| Why should store aluminum coil correctly? |

Aluminum coil is the highest used among aluminum products, so the general aluminum product processing enterprises will store aluminum coils more or less for emergency use. To make better use of aluminum coils and prolong the service life of aluminum coils, there are strict requirements for the storage environment of aluminum coils. However, if the aluminum coil is not properly stored during storage, the aluminum coil is very easy to oxidize, resulting in damage to the surface of the aluminum coil and affecting its use. So how can you better store the aluminum coil to avoid the above situation?
4 precautions for aluminum coil storage
1. The first requirement for aluminum coil storage is the storage environment.
When storing aluminum coils, you should make sure that the storage place is ventilated and dry, and also avoid storing them in humid places. Since the aluminum coil is a non-ferrous metal, if the surface is exposed to water or the environment is humid, it is very easy to oxidize. When the aluminum coils are forming pieces of oxidation marks on the surface that will result in damage to the appearance of the aluminum coil, they cannot be used. Therefore, a good storage environment directly affects the quality of the aluminum coil and its useful life. A dry environment is a necessary condition for aluminum coils storage, so you need to ensure that the storage environment is ventilated and dry.
2. The second precaution of aluminum coil storage is better packaging sealing.
When the aluminum coil leaves the factory, there will be a waterproof package. The appearance will be wrapped with a layer of plastic cloth, and a few packets of desiccant will be placed inside to prevent oxidation due to moisture or rainy weather during transportation. But when you are using it, it is inevitable to open the outer packaging of the packaging, which leaves a hidden danger for the aluminum coil to be oxidized. So if you are not in special circumstances, try not to open the outer packaging easily. If it is opened and not used up, it needs to be sealed again and stored in a dry and well-ventilated place to ensure that our aluminum coils will not be damp and damaged.

3. The location of aluminum coil storage is very important.
The placement of aluminum coils is often overlooked by everyone, but in fact, it is also very important. If the aluminum coils are placed directly on the floor, the lowermost aluminum coils will be oxidized by moisture. For example, the aluminum coils are separated by wooden brackets, which is more conducive to ventilation and makes the aluminum coils less susceptible to moisture.
4. Allow the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the aluminum coil to balance before opening the package for use.

If you suddenly change from a low-temperature area to a high-temperature area during placement, then you should not open the package immediately, because it is easy to oxidize. You should wait until the aluminum coil is suitable for unpacking so that there will be no oxidation. This can ensure that the aluminum coil will not generate moisture due to a large temperature difference, and avoid moisture and oxidation between the aluminum coil and the aluminum coil.
The above 4 points are things that you need to pay attention to during aluminum coil storage. If the above 4 points can be achieved, the aluminum coils can avoid oxidation, thereby prolonging the service life of aluminum coils.

Aluminum Foil is a hot stamping material that is directly calendered into thin sheets with metal aluminum. Its hot stamping effect is similar to that of pure silver foil, so it is also called fake silver foil. Because aluminum has a soft texture, good ductility, and silver-white luster, if the rolled sheet is mounted on offset paper with sodium silicate and other materials to make aluminum foil, it can also be printed. However, the aluminum foil itself is easy to oxidize and the color becomes dark, and it will fade when rubbed or touched, so it is not suitable for hot stamping of the covers of books and periodicals that have been stored for a long time. Aluminum foil is a packaging material with excellent performance. In daily life, the most common aluminum foil processed product is aluminum foil for food packaging and aluminium foil paper. Of course, the use of aluminum foil is much more than that. Therefore, as a packaging manufacturer, it is very important to choose aluminum foil with excellent performance and high quality. So how to choose high-quality aluminum foil? This article will discuss this issue in detail and give you some help.

Classification of Aluminum Foil
Classification by thickness
According to the difference in thickness, aluminum foil can be divided into thick foil, single zero foil and double zero foil.
Thick foil (heavy gauge foil): a foil with a thickness of 0.1～2mm.
Single zero foil (medium gauge foil): A foil with a thickness of 0.01mm and less than 0.1mm/.
Double zero foil (light gauge foil): The so-called double zero foil is a foil with two zeros after the decimal point when its thickness is measured in mm. It is usually an aluminum foil with a thickness of less than 0.01, that is, an aluminum foil with a thickness of 0.005~0.009mm. In foreign countries, the aluminum foil with thickness ≤40ltm is sometimes called “light gauge foil”, and the aluminum foil with thickness >40btm is collectively called “heavy gauge foil”.

Classification by shape
According to the shape, aluminum foil can be divided into roll aluminum foil and sheet aluminum foil. Most of the aluminum foil deep-processed wool is supplied in rolls, and only a few handicraft packaging occasions use sheet aluminum foil. According to the state, aluminum foil can be divided into hard foil, semi-rigid foil and soft foil.
① Hard foil: aluminum foil without softening treatment (annealing) after rolling, without degreasing treatment, there will be residues on the surface. Therefore, the hard foil must be degreased before printing, laminating, and coating, and it can be used directly if it is used for forming.
② Semi-rigid foil: aluminum foil whose hardness (or strength) is between the rigid foil and the soft foil, usually used for forming processing.
③ Soft foil: Aluminum foil that has been fully annealed and softened after rolling. The material is soft and there is no residual oil on the surface. Most application areas, such as packaging, composites, electrical materials, etc., use soft foils.
Classification according to processing status
According to the processing state, aluminum foil can be divided into plain foil, embossed foil, composite foil, coated foil, colored aluminum foil, and printed aluminum foil.
① Plain foil: Aluminum foil without any other processing after rolling, also called a smooth foil.
② Embossed foil: aluminum foil with various patterns embossed on the surface.
③ Composite foil: composite aluminum foil formed by pasting aluminum foil, paper, plastic film, and cardboard together.
④ Coated foil: aluminum foil coated with various resins or paints on the surface.
⑤ Colored aluminum foil: A single-color aluminum foil is coated on the surface.
⑥ Printing aluminum foil: aluminum foil forms various patterns, patterns, characters, or pictures on the surface by printing, it can be one color, up to 12 colors.
Flexible aluminum foil can be further pressed into four zero foils for high-end decoration.

Common problems in the production of aluminum foil
(1) Pinholes are the main defect of aluminum foil. Among the raw materials, the size of dust on the roll, the rolling oil, and even the dust in the air reaching about 6μm into the roll gap will cause pinholes. Therefore, it is impossible for 6μm aluminum foil to have no pinholes. It can only be evaluated by the number and size.It is generally believed that pinholes are mainly related to gas content, inclusions, compounds and component segregation. Taking effective aluminum liquid purification, filtration, and grain refinement can help reduce pinholes. Of course, the use of alloying and other means to improve the hardening characteristics of the material will also help reduce pinholes.
(2) Roll print, roll eye, uneven gloss. It is mainly the aluminum foil defect caused by the roll, which is divided into three types: point, line and surface. The most significant feature appears in three cycles. The main reasons for this kind of defect are: incorrect grinding of the roll; foreign matter damages the roll: the roll is damaged by the defect of the incoming material; the roll is fatigued; the impact and slippage between the rolls. All the factors that can cause damage to the surface of the roll can cause harm to aluminum foil rolling. Because the surface finish of aluminum foil rolling roll is very high, slight uneven gloss will also affect its surface condition. Regular cleaning of the rolling mill, keeping the rolling mill clean, ensuring the normal operation of the rolling cleaner, regularly changing rolls, and reasonable grinding are the basic conditions to ensure the uniformity of the surface of the aluminum foil after rolling.
(3) Thickness difference. The difficulty of controlling the thickness difference is a characteristic of aluminum foil rolling. The thickness difference of 3% may not be difficult in the production of plates, but it is very difficult in the production of aluminum foil. The reason is that the thickness is thin, and other trace conditions can affect it, such as temperature, oil film, and oil and gas concentration. A roll of aluminum foil can be rolled up to hundreds of thousands of meters, and the rolling time is as long as 10 hours. With time, the thickness difference is easy to form, and the only way to adjust the thickness is the tension speed. These factors have caused the difficulty of thickness control in aluminum foil rolling. Therefore, the real control of the thickness difference within 3% requires many conditions to ensure that it is quite difficult.

(4) The seam is a peculiar defect of foil rolling, which splits straight along the longitudinal direction during rolling, often accompanied by metal wires. The root cause of the seam is the discount on the inlet side, which often occurs in the middle, mainly due to the loose middle of the incoming material or the bad roll. Severe slits cannot be rolled, while slight slits crack in the subsequent slitting, which often results in a lot of waste.
(5) Defects in the coil. Coiling defects mainly refer to loose coils or tightness inside and outside. Due to the limited tension of aluminum foil, it is difficult to roll up hard rolls. It is ideal to obtain tight inner and outer rollers, but sufficient tension is a condition to form a certain tension gradient. Therefore, the coiling quality ultimately depends on the quality of the plate. Loose coils inside and tight outside will form horizontal edges, and loose coils will form ellipses, which will affect later processing.
The right choice of high-quality aluminum foil
For factories that need to use aluminum foil as a processing material, choosing high-quality aluminum foil needs to pay attention to the following issues.
Whether the aluminum foil is wrinkled.
Due to the serious bad shape of the aluminum foil, wrinkles are formed when the aluminum foil is rolled or unrolled. The essence is that the tension is insufficient to make the foil surface flat. For a device with a tension dimension of 20MPa, the shape of the foil surface should not be greater than 30I. When it is greater than 30I, it will inevitably wrinkle. Because aluminum foil is often subjected to greater tension during rolling than subsequent processing, some only show poor shape during rolling, including incorrect roll grinding, incorrect roll shape, poor shape of incoming material, and incorrect adjustment of shape.
Whether there are bright spots, bright marks and bright spots on the aluminum foil.
The bright spots, bright marks, and bright spots on the double surface of aluminum foil caused by improper use of double oil are mainly due to insufficient double oil film strength, or uneven rolling surface caused by uneven rolling, and the appearance is hemp skin or foreign body pressure. Into the state. Selecting a reasonable double oil, keeping the incoming material clean and the roll surface uniform are effective measures to solve this type of defect. Of course, it is also necessary to change the amount of reduction and choose a good aluminum plate.

Whether the aluminum foil has dense pinholes.
The pinholes of 6μm aluminum foil rolled by high-quality hot-rolled material can be less than 100/㎡. When the cast-rolled material is well purified, the 6μm aluminum foil pinholes are less than 200/㎡.
With the continuous update of the technology, the production process of aluminum foil manufacturers is also constantly improving, and most manufacturers can provide good aluminum foil materials.
Of course, you need high-quality aluminum foil, but you may also worry that the uneven quality of aluminum foil will affect the production quality of your products. Therefore, it is very important to choose a high-quality aluminum foil supplier.

1. Get necessary equipment
There are things to do before selling your car for cash. Leaving the tires on your rims reduces its price value except you want to sell them wholly as used tires. The first step to scrapping your old aluminum rims is to get rid of the tire. You can do this by hiring a car professional which might be more costly since you want to get cash off selling. The most ideal option is to do it yourself.
Firstly, get the equipment you’d be needing. For example, long demolition blade, safety glasses, gloves, Sawzall. Then follow the remaining steps to get the rims out.
2. Check the rim type
Before a scrap yard can determine the scrap aluminum rims prices, they will need to know the type. You can do this yourself before reaching out to them by simply using a magnet.
If you place the magnet near to the rim and get a magnetic force of attraction, then it is a steel rim type. However, it is an aluminum rim if there’s no attraction. Aluminum rims are not magnetic in nature except it is an aluminum alloy. The scrap yards will provide more information about the model.
Next you should measure the diameter and weight. If your rim is a 16”, then its weight should be around 16-22 pounds.
3. Take off the rim weight
There are some clips that attach the rims to the tires. Ensure to take them off before you sell them. An easy way to do this is with a pair of pliers. When you rip them off, you are certain to get good cash for your rim when you sell each parts differently.
4. Remove air from tires
Before taking the rims off the wheel, it is advisable you let the air out. Do this easily with a needle nose pliers and press the tire’s valve stem to evacuate the air inside. Keep pressing the valve till there’s no air remaining inside the tire. Now it is time to cut.
5. Cut the tire
Finally, it’s time to cut through the tire. You can do this with any tool you want but most common ones are the long demolition blade or Sawzall. Start from one end and cut through till you reach the rim. When you’ve done this, the tire will be loose from the rim. However, remember to remove the valve stem as you can sell them separately for cash ranging $10 – $60 for 4.
6. Proceed to the scrap yard
Now you’ve done the good work by getting the rim off the wheel, you should proceed to the scrap yard to sell them.

A wheel –be it from cars or motorcycles- are made up of different parts; the central disc, tires and rim. The rim is the inner part and backbone of the wheel that keeps it in place. It usually has a center that attaches to the car’s disc.
There are different kinds of rim depending on the type of metal used in producing them. There’s the iron/steel and aluminum alloy but today’s focus is on the scrap aluminum rims prices.
