Chemical Composition of Aluminum 8011
Alloy 8011 is an Al‑Fe‑Si aluminum alloy. Its composition is optimized for foil production, ensuring good strength, formability, and resistance to pinholes and tearing.
| Element | Typical Range (wt. %) | Function / Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Al | Balance | Base metal, provides corrosion resistance and formability |
| Fe | 0.60–1.00 | Improves strength, reduces pinhole sensitivity |
| Si | 0.50–0.90 | Enhances processability and strength |
| Mn | ≤ 0.20 | Assists in microstructure control |
| Cu | ≤ 0.10 | Slight strength improvement |
| Mg | ≤ 0.05 | Minor solid solution strengthening |
| Zn | ≤ 0.10 | General impurity control |
| Ti | ≤ 0.08 | Grain refining aid |
| Others (each) | ≤ 0.05 | Trace impurities |
| Others (total) | ≤ 0.15 | Total impurity limit |
These controlled alloying additions give 8011 foil a good balance of mechanical strength and soft‑temper flexibility while maintaining high corrosion resistance.

Why “Soft Temper Magic”?
The phrase “Soft Temper Magic” reflects how AA8011 O temper combines multiple packaging advantages in one material.
| Advantage | How It Helps in Real Use |
|---|---|
| High folding endurance | Withstands repeated folding and crimping without cracking |
| Deep drawing capability | Ideal for multi‑cavity, blister, and tray forming |
| Smooth surface | Excellent substrate for printing, lacquering, and lamination |
| Low springback | Keeps formed shapes stable: lids, seals, wraps remain closed |
| Easy cutting and slitting | Clean edges for wrapping, die‑cut lids, and narrow strips |
Barrier & Protection Performance
Aluminum foil 8011 acts as a nearly perfect barrier against light, oxygen, and moisture—critical for product shelf life.
| Barrier Aspect | Performance Level | Customer Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Light barrier | Almost 100 % | Protects light‑sensitive foods and medicines |
| Moisture permeability | ~ 0 g/m²·day (for intact foil) | Preserves product texture and prevents drying out |
| Oxygen permeability | ~ 0 cm³/m²·day (for intact foil) | Extends shelf life, prevents oxidation |
| Aroma barrier | Excellent | Keeps flavors and fragrances locked in |
| Grease resistance | Very high | Ideal for fatty foods, ointments, and creams |
When laminated with paper or film, 8011 foil becomes the functional barrier layer in high‑performance multi‑layer structures.
