1070 Aluminum Slug

1070 aluminum slugs, known for their high purity of 99.7%, are a versatile choice for a wide range of applications. With outstanding ductility and forming capabilities, they are particularly well-suited for deep-drawing and impact extrusion processes. These properties make them a preferred raw material for producing collapsible tubes, aerosol cans, aluminum bottles, cosmetic containers, and various other aluminum packaging solutions.

Why Choose 1070 Aluminum Slugs?

TMR Aluminum manufactures slugs using high-quality 1070 alloy, offering excellent dimensional consistency and reliable mechanical performance. We ensure precise control over grain size and annealing, resulting in:

• Smooth extrusion performance

• Low earing and perforation rates

• Excellent surface finish

• High elongation and good forming behavior

The slugs are available in a variety of shapes—round flat, oval, dome, rectangle—and can be customized to meet specific design requirements. Surface treatments such as mill finish, tumbling, or shot blasting are available depending on the end-use.

Key Specifications:

• Tensile Strength: 55–95 MPa

• Yield Strength: ≥15 MPa

• Elongation (A50mm): 35%

• Hardness: 18–21 HB
