Poland’s export of aluminium foil during 2018-21 unveils rapid rise followed by continuous demand plunge

Aluminium foil is generated by rolling sheet ingots cast from molten billet aluminium, then re-rolling on sheet and foil rolling mills to the required thickness or by consistently casting and cold rolling. However, to maintain a constant thickness in aluminium foil production, beta radiation is passed through the foil to a sensor on the other side.
