With the development of economy, the beverage industry developed rapidly, the demand for aluminum alloy cans and pull ring is also increasing rapidly. At present, most of the aluminum processing enterprises are in the development of aluminum alloy cans production, with 5182 aluminum slug alloy as an example, let us analysis of aluminum alloy cap material market prospects.

5182 aluminum slugs are mainly used to make aluminum cans and pull ring. The aluminum cans have the advantages of light weight, heat resistance, good conductivity, tasteless, non-toxic, good printing effect and recyclable. Therefore, since the 1980s and 1990s, the amount of cans has been increasing, and the aluminum cans occupy an absolute dominant position in the world beverage packaging market. Especially in Brazil, India, China and other emerging economies, there is still a huge space for aluminum cans development, and will maintain an annual growth rate of more than 8%.

5182 aluminum slug is main material of pull ring, the can bottom mainly uses 3004,5052 aluminum slug etc., these alloys, in addition to the manufacture of aluminum cans, but also a large number of tin cans and other packaging containers cans. With the development of the beverage industry and the replacement of old packaging materials, 5182 aluminum alloy usher in a greater application in the packaging market. At the same time, 5182 as a high magnesium alloy, is not heat treatment alloy with good strength, corrosion resistance, good machinability and other characteristics, can also be used to manufacture aircraft tanks, tubing, traffic vehicles, ship sheet metal parts.
