Metal Packaging Terminology (English to Chinese Version)
- ▶ Three-Piece Can - 三片罐
A metal can composed of a body, top, and bottom, typically used for food and beverage packaging. - ▶ Weld Seam - 焊缝
The joint formed by welding two edges of a metal sheet to create the body of a can. - ▶ Repair Coating - 补涂膜
A protective coating applied to the weld seam to prevent corrosion after welding. - ▶ Tinplate - 马口铁
Thin steel sheet coated with a layer of tin, commonly used in can manufacturing. - ▶ Tin Coating Weight - 镀锡量
The amount of tin applied to the surface of the tinplate, typically measured in grams per square meter (g/m²). - ▶ Resistance Welding - 电阻焊
A welding process that uses the heat generated by electrical resistance to join metal sheets. - ▶ Overlap - 搭接量
The amount of overlap between two metal edges during welding to form a seam. - ▶ Welding Current - 焊接电流
The electric current used in the welding process to melt and join metal edges. - ▶ Welding Pressure - 焊接压力
The force applied to the metal sheets during welding to ensure proper bonding. - ▶ Welding Speed - 焊接速度
The rate at which the welding process is performed, affecting the quality of the weld seam. - ▶ Cold Weld - 冷焊
A defective weld caused by insufficient heat, resulting in poor bonding of the metal sheets. - ▶ Overweld - 过焊
A weld with excessive heat or pressure, leading to defects like burn-through or excessive extrusion. - ▶ Spatter - 飞溅点
Small particles of molten metal expelled during welding, potentially affecting weld quality. - ▶ Liquid Coating - 液体涂料
A type of repair coating applied in liquid form to protect the weld seam. - ▶ Powder Coating - 粉末涂料
A dry coating applied as a powder and cured to form a protective film on the weld seam. - ▶ Thermoplastic Coating - 热塑性涂料
A powder coating that melts and forms a film during baking, without chemical crosslinking. - ▶ Thermosetting Coating - 热固性涂料
A powder coating that undergoes chemical crosslinking during curing to form a durable film. - ▶ Micropores - 微孔
Tiny holes in the coating that can affect its protective performance. - ▶ Surface Tension Effect - 表面张力效应
The tendency of liquid coatings to flow away from edges due to surface tension during baking. - ▶ Flanging - 翻边
The process of bending the edge of a can body to prepare it for seaming with the lid. - ▶ Necking - 缩颈
The process of reducing the diameter of the can’s top or bottom for fitting the lid. - ▶ Beading - 滚筋
The process of forming grooves on the can body to enhance structural strength. - ▶ Curing - 固化
The process of baking a coating to achieve its final protective properties. - ▶ Base Steel - 钢基
The steel substrate of tinplate before the tin coating is applied. - ▶ Alloy Layer - 合金层
The layer formed between the tin coating and the steel substrate, affecting welding properties.
- ▶ Three-Piece Can -三片罐
A metal can formed by joining a can lid, can bottom, and can body. - ▶ Two-Piece Can -两片罐
A metal can where the bottom and body are formed by stamping and drawing a single metal sheet, then joined with a can lid. - ▶ Composite Can -组合罐
A can composed of different materials for the can body, bottom, and lid. - ▶ Round Can -圆罐
A cylindrical metal can. Those with a diameter smaller than the height are called vertical round cans, and those with a diameter larger than the height are called flat round cans. - ▶ Irregular Can -异形罐
A general term for metal cans with non-cylindrical shapes. - ▶ Rectangular Can -方罐
A metal can with a square or rectangular cross-section and rounded corners. - ▶ Obround Can -扁圆罐
A metal can with a cross-section that has two parallel sides connected by semicircular arcs at both ends. - ▶ Oval Can -椭圆罐
A metal can with an elliptical cross-section. - ▶ Trapezoidal Can -梯形罐
A metal can with top and bottom surfaces as rounded rectangles of different sizes, with a longitudinal section resembling a trapezoid. - ▶ Pear Can -梨形罐
A metal can with a cross-section resembling an isosceles triangle with rounded corners. - ▶ Step-Side Can -宽口罐
A metal can with an enlarged top cross-section to accommodate a larger lid. - ▶ Necked-In Can -缩颈罐
A metal can with one or both ends of the body reduced in cross-section to fit a smaller lid or bottom. - ▶ Hermetically Sealed Can -密封罐
An airtight metal can that prevents microbial contamination, ensuring the contents meet hygiene standards after sterilization or protecting the contents from external air and moisture. - ▶ Drawn Can -浅冲罐
A two-piece can manufactured by shallow drawing, with a height-to-diameter ratio less than 1.5. - ▶ Deep Drawn Can (Drawn and Redrawn Can) -深冲罐
A two-piece can manufactured by multi-stage drawing, with a height-to-diameter ratio greater than 1. - ▶ Drawn and Ironed Can -薄壁拉伸罐
A two-piece can, typically made of aluminum, where the bottom and body are integrally formed by drawing and wall-thinning (ironing) processes. - ▶ Soldered Can -锡焊罐
A three-piece can where the body seam is formed by interlocking steel plates and soldering with tin or tin-lead alloy. - ▶ Resistance Welding Can -电阻焊罐
A three-piece can where the body seam is overlapped and welded using a resistance welding machine. - ▶ Laser Welded Can -激光焊罐
A three-piece can where the body seam is butt-welded using laser welding. - ▶ Cono-Weld Can -粘接罐
A three-piece can where the body seam is bonded using adhesives such as nylon, often made from tin-free steel (TFS). - ▶ Easy Open Can -易开罐
A hermetically sealed can with an easy-open lid. - ▶ Key Open Can -卷开罐
A metal can with pre-scored lines and a tongue-shaped tab on the upper body, opened by rolling with a can-opening key. - ▶ Aluminium Can -铝质罐
A can made from aluminum material. - ▶ Plain Tinplate Can -素铁罐
A metal can made from uncoated tinplate for the inner wall of the body. - ▶ Lacquered Tinplate Can -涂料罐
A metal can made from tinplate with a coated inner wall for both the body and the bottom/lid. - ▶ Hinged Lid Tin -活页罐
A metal can with a lid attached by a hinge, allowing it to be opened and closed repeatedly.
