Abstract Aluminum metal beverage container is used in packaging foods and chemical industries because of its superior hold, formability, corrosion resistance and join ability. The 80 percent of the container cost is material and aluminum metal is expansive one. The beverage container industry is struggling for potential saving from weight reduction in each container, while meeting the three structural performance standards which have been established to assess the adequacy of the container design. These are axial column load, drop resistance and internal pressure. This paper relates to the internal pressure standard which states that container must… More >
