What Are Uses of 1060 and 1100 Aluminum Foils

As the "heart" of various electronic devices and new energy vehicles, the performance of batteries directly affects the product's user experience and development prospects. Among the many components of batteries, battery aluminum foil plays an indispensable role, especially 1060 and 1100 aluminum foils, which play a key role in the battery field with their unique performance.

Battery aluminum foil: a key supporting role in batteries

Battery aluminum foil, as a current collector for lithium-ion batteries, is mainly used to collect the current generated by the active materials of the battery in order to form a larger current output. In actual use, the lithium battery industry usually uses aluminum foil as the positive electrode current collector.

Although it is only a thin layer, it has a crucial impact on the performance of the battery. It needs to have the six extreme values of the thinnest thickness, the highest strength, the highest dyne value, the smallest thickness difference, the best plate shape and the cleanest surface to meet the high performance requirements of lithium batteries.

1060 aluminum foil

1060 aluminum is an aluminum alloy product with a purity of up to 99.6%. It is mainly composed of aluminum and a small amount of copper, manganese, zinc, chromium and other elements. This high purity gives it many excellent properties.

Strong antioxidant performance: It can effectively resist the erosion of oxygen and moisture. This feature is fully utilized in the field of food packaging. For example, when it is used to package dairy products, alcoholic beverages, candies and other foods, it can ensure the safety and long-term preservation of food. In batteries, it can also ensure the stability of the internal environment of the battery and extend the battery life.

Good thermal conductivity: When used in electronic products, it can help the device dissipate heat in time and ensure stable operation of the device. For batteries, good thermal conductivity helps maintain the temperature balance of the battery during charging and discharging, and improves battery performance.

Excellent ductility and toughness: It can be easily folded into various shapes. In the battery manufacturing process, it is convenient to process into various required shapes and sizes to meet different battery design requirements.

1100 aluminum foil

1100 aluminum foil also belongs to the pure aluminum foil series, with an aluminum content of 99.00%.

Moderate strength: Although the strength is not particularly high, the tensile strength can reach a certain range, and the elongation can also meet some conventional processing and use requirements. For example, in some battery components that do not require extremely high strength but require a certain toughness, 1100 aluminum foil has good applicability.

Excellent processing performance: It has excellent ductility, formability, weldability and corrosion resistance. After anodizing, its corrosion resistance can be further improved, and a beautiful surface can be obtained. In battery production, good processing performance enables it to smoothly carry out various processing procedures, improve production efficiency and product quality. When making components such as heat sinks for batteries, 1100 aluminum foil can give full play to its processing performance advantages.

Application fields and development prospects

1060 and 1100 aluminum foils are widely used in the battery field, from common consumer electronic batteries to power batteries for new energy vehicles. With the rapid growth of demand in the lithium battery industry, lithium battery current collectors are developing in the direction of thinner, higher tensile strength, higher elongation and lower cost. These two types of aluminum foils are also constantly being improved and optimized to adapt to the development trend of the industry.
