5000 Series 5182 Aluminum Coil For Beverage Pull Tab

5000 Series 5182 Aluminum Coil Used For Beverage Pull Tab

5182 aluminum alloy belongs to the Al-Mg alloy. It has good corrosion resistance, excellent

weldability, good cold workability, and has medium strength. 

Balances strength, formability, and cost, making it the standard for pull-tab production.

Typical Thickness

Range: 0.25 mm – 0.31 mm

This thickness is optimized to balance strength (for pulling) and formability

(for stamping the tab shape).

In some high-performance beverage cans (e.g., energy drinks), the thickness may reach up

to 0.33 mm depending on the design.

Typical Temper

H19:

This is a fully strain-hardened temper.

Offers maximum strength without further heat treatment.

Ideal for stamped parts like pull tabs where shape retention and springback resistance are critical.

Performance Advantages

♦ High strength

Provides the mechanical performance needed to open the can without deformation or breakage.

♦ Excellent formability

Withstands high-speed stamping and forming processes without cracking, even at thin gauges.

♦ Superior corrosion resistance

Resistant to moisture, carbonation, and acidic beverage contents, making it safe for long-term storage.

♦ Good fatigue resistance

Withstands repeated stress during manufacturing and handling without failure.

♦ Lightweight and recyclable

Supports the beverage industry’s emphasis on sustainability and circular economy.

Company Advantages

We use the Wolrd Advanced Equipments for your Aluminium Alloy Material

• All the melting and holding furnaces are supplied by GAUTSCHI (Switzerland) Company.
they improve the quality of Aluminum alloy slab which can guarantee Aluminium alloy
products with high-performance. 
 
• 1+1+4 hot rolling mills (1 Reversible Roughing Mill +1 Finishing Mill + 4 Tandem Finishing Mills)
 We import these equipments from SMS Group (Germany). All the hot finishing rolling mills 
 adopt the CVC flatness control technology, which can produce hot rolled coils and plates with
 ideal flatness.
