the problem with cans is they're cold extruded. A flat sheet is basically punched from the bottom to create the can. So, it's not a function of rolling. Getting them flat is miserable for that reason. And, since they're usually cold-extruded (meaning the alu sheet is at room temp when the die is pressed through it), the molecules are oriented that way for good. AJ |
