 HISTORY OF CAN MANUFACTURING
• Early tin cans were sealed by soldering with a
tin-lead alloy, which could lead to lead
poisoning.
• Use of aluminum in cans began after the (2nd
world war) in 1957.
Why Aluminum?
• Less in cost.
• Greater malleability.
• This gave rise to the two-piece can, where all
but the top of the can is simply stamped out of a
single piece of aluminum, rather than
constructed from two pieces of steel.

TYPES OF CANS
(1) One-piece Cans.
(2) Two-Pieces Cans.
(3) Three pieces cans.

ONE-PIECE CANS
Impact-extruded aluminum
cans necked-in to accept
the valve cup.
 No welding is used.
 Often used for sprays
and paints.

TWO-PIECE CANS
 Mostly used as beverage cans.
 They have many ends like
easy-open end.
 They may contain another
contents like car-wax and
shoe polisher.

MATERIALS OF BEVERAGE CAN
The Aluminum can consists of:
 97.4% Aluminum
 1% Magnesium
 1% Manganese
 0.4% Iron
 0.2% Silicon

TWO-PIECE CANS
Draw (Shallow Draw): Shallow-profile cans（whose
height is less than their diameter.
Draw and redraw (DRD): shallow drawing in 3 steps.
Draw and iron (D&I ): Carbonated beverage cans.

SIDEWALL BEADING & CAN END SHELLS

• Requires more material.

• Reduces top-to-bottom compression
strength.
• Complicates labeling.

 They are made of Tin-
plated or tin-free steel
depending on the end use.
Used for paints containers,
glues, and aerosols.

SUMMARY

Team "2" 35
CONCLUSION
• The manufacturing process for aluminum beverage cans
is already technologically very advanced, and therefore
it is useful to have the utmost information possible on
material and tooling, in order to optimize it
