Common aluminum foil specifications and uses

Aluminum foil classification can be divided into packaging foil, commodity foil, electrical equipment foil and construction foil according to the type of use. However, subdividing the use can be divided into many types. What are the alloy states of the commonly used aluminum foils? What is the typical thickness? What is the processing method?
