Aluminium coil is soft, and on a line that is both its advantage and its problem. It forms with far less force than steel, which is why it suits complex profiles and light gauges, and it marks with almost no force at all — a roll with a nick in it, a speck of grit carried in on the strip, or a coil handled with a bare sling will leave a permanent mark on a surface that is often the finished visible face. So handling and roll condition are part of the specification, and a coated or film-protected coil is normally the right answer where appearance matters, such as cladding and trim. The metallurgy question is the same as for sheet and just as easy to get wrong: alloy and temper together decide whether the strip will make the bend the profile requires, and a temper too hard for the radius cracks at the corner. State the profile and its tightest radius alongside the alloy, temper, width and coating.
The more of this you send, the closer the first quotation lands.
| Alloy and temper | Together — they decide whether the profile can be formed at all |
|---|---|
| Forming profile | The section to be rolled, and its tightest radius |
| Thickness and width | With the tolerances the line needs |
| Surface protection | Film or interleaving where the face is the finished surface |
| Coating | Mill finish, coil coated, or anodising quality |
| Colour | For coil coated material, the colour reference and gloss |
| Handling | Soft slings and roll condition — aluminium marks permanently |
| Coil weight and inner diameter | Against the crane and the decoiler mandrel |
| Application | Cladding, trim, ducting, roofing, or an engineered component |
| Contact with other metals | Galvanic isolation at the fixings in coastal air |
| Certification | Mill certificate type and traceability |
| Quantity | Tonnage per alloy, temper and width |
