  • FIG. 1 is a schematic of an embodiment of an elongated bottle made of a low-spread metal in accordance with this disclosure.
  • FIGS. 2A and 2B are graphs showing a stress-strain relationship of the low-spread metal used to make the elongated bottle shown in FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic of a cap for sealing the elongated bottle of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating an embodiment of a method for producing the elongated bottle of FIG. 1 .
  • Metal elongated bottles have many advantages over traditional can-shaped containers (as briefly discussed in the background). However, during manufacturing, rejection rates for elongated bottles may be higher than rejection rates of traditional cans due to the more complicated geometry of the bottle and the higher plastic deformation required for the elongated shape and narrower neck of the bottle. For example, rejections rates in the production of metal bottles may range from about 5% to about 95% due to defects such as excessive metal expansion and brim roll splitting.
  • a wide spread between the yield stress and the ultimate tensile stress of the sheet aluminum used to form aluminum containers would provide lower rejection rates by allowing for increased operating latitude for metal forming properties. It has been found, however, that a low spread, i.e., a low difference between the yield stress and the ultimate tensile stress, of the sheet aluminum, such as the 3104 series aluminum, provides for lower rejection rates at high production speeds.
  • special post-forming thermal treatment of the metal in conjunction with low spread metal, also helps to reduce manufacturing defects. For example, in some embodiments, a cup formed from a low spread metal is heat treated after a decorative printing coat is applied to the cup to dry the decorative printing.
  • the cup is then necked and threaded, and a brim roll is applied to the bottle opening.
  • the heat treating of the metal in conjunction with the low spread metal, removes a sufficient amount of work hardening to allow for necking, threading and brim rolling at high production speeds with low defect rates.
  • This disclosure presents a low-spread metal elongated bottle and a production method for reducing rejection rates associated with the production of aluminum bottles.
  • the production method described herein also allows for the production of an elongated bottle that is taller than previously available aluminum bottles.
  • the production method described herein also allows for a thinner side wall thickness and thus a lower aluminum material usage than previously available. Further, the disclosed processes and apparatuses may be used to form complicated bottle shapes that are less feasible with non-low-spread metals.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic of an elongated bottle 100 made of a low-spread sheet metal 101 .
  • the elongated bottle 100 can be mass-produced from coils of the low-spread sheet metal 101 using “drawing and ironing” manufacturing methods. In some embodiments, for a thicker wall thickness, impact extrusion methods may also be used with slugs of similar physical properties.
