Overview
Burr free holes begin with B-10. Panel after panel, hit after hit, B-10 will enable the drilling of consistent, high quality holes.

B-10 is a solid aluminum entry foil. B-10 reduces heat, eliminates burrs, and improves registration resulting in higher quality holes, enhanced productivity and an improved bottom line.

Solid aluminum lamination grade foil, B-10, is the industry standard when aluminum separator sheets are required. Cleaned, tooled and sheeted, B-10 is manufactured to the highest standards, ensuring consistent quality, sheet after sheet.

Tension leveled B-10 meets any flatness requirement and is degreased for contamination free drilling or lamination.

When used with the UltraEdge multilayer edging system, B-10 allows for the use of exact size materials for brick lamination for added savings and increased throughput.

B-10 is offered in a range of thicknesses to match specific chip load applications and is cut and tooled to individual requirements.

Advantages

  • Higher Brinell hardness. Higher yield and shear strength.
  • Tension leveled and degreased for contamination free holes, closer tolerances and improved registration.
  • A superior heat sink for the drill bit.
  • The inherent high melting temperature of approximately 650° C provides for clean drill bits and quick ejection of chips.
  • Permits lower surface feet per minute drilling and an increased feed rate.
  • Eliminates hole wall smearing thereby increasing the life of the drill bit.
  • Eliminates burrs by reducing the back pressure on the drill bit upon entry.
  • Varying thicknesses from 0.18 mm (0.007") to 0.38 mm (0.015") for specific chip load applications.
  • Recyclable.
