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.
Aluminum Alloys Commonly Used in Beverage Cans
| Component | Typical Alloy | Temper | Typical Thickness (mm) | Key Properties |
| Can Body | 3004 / 3104 | H19 | 0.24 – 0.29 | Good formability, moderate strength, excellent drawability |
| Can End (Lid) | 5042 / 5182 | H48 / H19 | 0.20 – 0.27 | Higher strength than body, good pressure resistance for carbonation |
| Pull Tab | 5182 | H19 | 0.25 – 0.31 | Very high strength, excellent formability, good corrosion resistance |
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.
