金属箔的工业生产始于十七世纪初,以多层平叠法轧制小张的箔。1886年,埃罗与霍尔发明电解法制铝,铝的价格大幅度下降,从而使铝箔产量压倒锡、金、银等金属箔的。1910年,瑞士开创卷材轧制法。此后铝箔主产有了明显发展。特别是1933年英国罗伯特公司发明四重轧机,轧速达390米/分, The industrial production of metal foil began in the early seventeenth century, with a small number of layers of flat-rolled rolling small Zhang foil. In 1886, Eero and Hall invented the electrolysis of aluminum, aluminum prices dropped significantly, so that the output of aluminum foil over tin, gold, silver and other metal foil. In 1910, Switzerland started the method of rolling the web. Since then, there has been a significant development of aluminum foil. Especially in 1933 the British company Robert invented the quadruple rolling mill, rolling speed of 390 m / min,
