Precision cold rolled strip and foil

Dimensional tolerances

Precision cold-rolling technology is a core competence of Lamineries MATTHEY and our guaranteed dimensional tolerance limits are often tighter than stipulated in the respective European standards.

    Definitions

    Camber, edgewise curvature

    The guaranteed camber is usually indicated in mm/m and is dependent on the thickness and width of the strips. Other guaranteed cambers can be calculated for other gauge lengthes (see edgewise curvature of non-ferrous strips or edgewise curvature of steels and maraging steels).

    Dimensional tolerances of non-ferrous strips

    Width

    Standard tolerances for slit edge strips of Lamineries MATTHEY are + 0.2, -0 (or ± 0.1mm on request) for all widths of < 125 mm and thicknesses of < 1.00 mm. Tighter tolerances are possible on request.

    Camber, edgewise curvature

    For standard tolerances, the following requirements are met (reference length 1000 mm). High precision tolerances are possible on request.

    Other guaranteed cambers can be calculated for other gauge lengthes using the following equation:

         d  = guaranteed camber, given in the table for a gauge, l0, of 1m.
         d2 = calculated edgewise curvature in mm for a gauge, l2.

         d2 [mm/m] =  d [mm]  x (l2 [mm] / 1000)2

     

    Thickness

    The standard tolerances of Lamineries MATTHEY correspond with the tightest tolerances (precision) prescribed in European standards. The precision and extremely tight tolerances (on request) allow the production of premium quality parts. The dimensional tolerances listed in the table below refer, among others, to all copper, aluminium and nickel alloys, except for  NiCr20, NiMo16Cr15W, NiMo28.
