Abstract: An aluminium alloy foil with a thickness of maximum 12 ?m, maximum 9 ?m or less than 8 ?m. The aluminium alloy foil is an AA1xxx or A8xxx aluminium alloy in the annealed state. In addition, a method for manufacturing an aluminium alloy foil and its use. The object of proposing an aluminium alloy foil with improved barrier properties, a method for its manufacture and a use of the aluminium alloy foil is achieved in that the aluminium alloy foil has a maximum number of pores with a pore size of 1 ?m to 200 ?m of maximum 12 per dm2, maximum 8 per dm2 or maximum 6 per dm2. In addition, a method is specified for how this aluminium alloy foil can be manufactured.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a coated aluminum strip, in which the aluminum strip is unwound from a coil and fed into a unilateral or bilateral extrusion coating arrangement, the aluminum strip is extrusion coated with a thermoplastic polymer and after being extrusion coated, the aluminum strip is reheated to a metal temperature above the melting point of the thermoplastic polymer. The object of providing a method for producing an aluminum strip by which an extrusion-coated aluminum strip can be produced which can be processed at high processing speeds in follow-on composite tools is achieved in that the unilateral or bilateral plastics material coating of the aluminum strip is textured, after being reheated, using rolls which have a superficial structure.

Abstract: A coating of a metal sheet or strip comprising a lubricant and a protective base material is provided. The lubricant is contained in the protective base material, and the protective base material is at least in part selectively removable. There is also provided a metal sheet or strip capable of forming, in particular of superplastic forming, and having a coating according to the invention at least partially on one or on both sides of the metal sheet and a method for manufacturing a metal sheet or strip according to the invention comprising the steps of providing a metal sheet or strip capable of forming, in particular of superplastic forming, and applying a coating according to the invention.
