    The invention relates to a method for producing an aluminum foil (1) and aluminum foil with integrated security features (6). According to the invention, an aluminum foil (4) is rolled in several cold rolling passes to a thickness of less than 150 μm, wherein at the same time on both surface sides (4a, 4b) of the aluminum foil a rolling direction in the rolling direction (5a, 5b) is formed. In a final cold rolling pass, this aluminum foil is fed to a pair of work rolls (8) in which on at least one roll surface (11) the relief-like surface structure (IIa) produced in the rolling direction by grinding is contrast and motif dependent in a range (7) of 10 to 50% relative to the average surface roughness for forming a motif for a security feature (6) has been reduced, which is transmitted to the roller surface facing surface side (2a) of the aluminum foil. The produced aluminum foil (1) shows on both surface sides (2a, 2b) a shiny appearance, so that the security feature (6) stands out very succinctly due to its matt appearance.

    The invention relates to a method for producing an aluminum foil with integrated security features as well as an aluminum foil produced by this method with integrated security features.
    Medical products, which are usually packaged using aluminum foil, are often targets for counterfeiting. Counterfeit-proof features should therefore be as close as possible to the medical product, i. the direct attachment of security features during the
    The production process of primary packaging offers the best prerequisite for this.
    It was therefore - as usual with banknotes - trying to provide packaging materials for the pharmaceutical industry with holograms. It has been shown that even holograms, although their production is relatively expensive, can be falsified.
    The invention aims to remedy this situation.
    According to the invention a method of the type mentioned is proposed, wherein an aluminum foil is rolled in several cold rolling passes to a thickness of less than 150 .mu.m, and at the same time on both surface sides of the aluminum foil extending in the direction of rolling texturing arises, and wherein in the last cold rolling pass the aluminum foil a A pair of working rolls is supplied, wherein on at least one roll surface the relief-like surface structuring produced in the rolling direction by grinding has been reduced in a range of 10 to 50% relative to the average surface roughness to form a motif for a security feature, which depends on the roll surface facing surface side of the aluminum foil is transferred. Further embodiments of this method are disclosed according to subclaims 2 to 5. «·« «« · «♦ * #» * ·· * ·· ·

    The invention further relates to an aluminum foil with integrated security features, which is produced by the method according to the invention, and which has security features in an amount of at most 30% per unit area.
    Further embodiments of this aluminum foil according to the invention are disclosed according to subclaims 7 to 10.
    The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to a possible embodiment for carrying out the invention and with reference to FIGS 1 to 8.
    1 shows a pair of work rolls for carrying out the method according to the invention, FIG. 2 shows a detail view of a work roll and its surface configuration,
    Figure 3 shows the Striebeckkurve for documentation of the relevant process parameters in the nip and Figure 4 shows the process flow for producing the integrated security features. Figures 5 to 8 show possible embodiments for the integrated security feature.
    The production process of the aluminum foil 1 according to the invention with integrated security features 6 initially consists of the sub-processes continuous casting, homogenization, hot rolling, cold rolling and subsequent annealing above the recrystallization temperature. This is followed by the process of film cold rolling. In this case, the aluminum foil 4 is rolled in several cold rolling passes to a thickness of less than 150 μπι, wherein simultaneously on both surface sides 4a, 4b of the aluminum foil extending in the rolling direction texturing 5a, 5b is formed, see Figure 4b. This structured roughness formed in the running direction leads to a directed reflection of the incident light, so that the surface sides 4a and 4b obtain a shiny appearance due to this directed reflection. ·· · ·· ** * ·· «·
    For the last rolling pass is converted, see Figure 1 and Figure 4a, wherein a pair of working rollers 9 is used, in which at least one roller surface has a motif 7 for the security feature. This motif 7 is produced insofar as the relief-like surface structuring 11a produced in the rolling direction by grinding is reduced in a range of 10 to 50% with respect to the average surface roughness, depending on the contrast and subject. This can be done, for example, by the action of laser beams, see FIGS. 2b, 2c and 4c. For the last cold rolling pass, the aluminum foil is fed to the nip 9, which is formed between the two work rolls 10, 11. The motive for the security feature 6 is now transferred to the surface side 4a of the aluminum foil facing the work roll. In the area of the security feature 6 of the aluminum foil 1 -see FIG. 4d-a matt-appearing, random texturing now emerges, which visibly stands out from the remaining, shiny appearing surface area 2a with directed texturing 3. In the area of the security feature 6, due to this random texturing, a diffuse reflection of the incident light occurs, so that the area of the security feature 6 appears dull.
    However, if both work rolls are provided with a motif 7, an integrated security feature 6 is produced on both surface sides 4a and 4b of the aluminum foil 4.
    The film rolls on which the process according to the invention is based belongs to the "flat rolls" subgroup, and is defined in particular via process end products having a thickness of 20-160 μm. The cold rolling process in this thickness range requires the specific use of surface roughness of tools in combination with process fluids to produce the tribological conditions required for plastic deformation in the roll nip.
    To document the process-relevant process parameters, reference is made to the stress-sweep curve - see FIG. 3.
    The abscissa shows the friction coefficient, the ordinate the function of speed, pressure and viscosity. For cold rolling of foils, the mixed friction area is required. In the area of low lubrication, there is constant contact with the rolling stock; a reduction of the material is not possible in this area, and subsequently leads to poor surface properties and damage to the roller. In the field of hydrodynamic lubrication - see also Ref. 14 of Fig. 2a - " floats " the work roll 11, so that a targeted control of the rolling process and in particular the reduction of the material thickness is no longer possible. By varying the parameters v, p and n, one can therefore set the range of mixed friction.
    Only in the mixed friction region is it possible to generate longitudinal tensile and compressive stresses which stress the material via the deformation resistance and thus lead to a deformation, that is to say reduction of the material thickness. The adjustment of the required parameters for the rolling of the rolling oil 12, namely viscosity, pressure stability, lubricating effect, is achieved by the precise selection of a base oil, namely a kerosene-like, highly refined hydrocarbon with well-defined viscosity, and by adding about 5% by volume Walzöladditiven , on the one hand bring the pressure stability of the medium to a certain level, but also significantly affect the friction conditions in the nip 9.
    The tuning of these parameters is the basic requirement for the method according to the invention. Therefore, these parameters are permanently monitored and readjusted. In concrete application, the concentration of the rolling oil additives is measured directly by sampling from the buffer tank of the mill stand and kept in a well-defined area by means of additives. For the purpose of accurate metering, the process liquid is ································································································································································································ Sprayed onto the work rolls 10, 11 by means of a nozzle bar.
    The mixed friction conditions in the nip 9 are required because only a defined coefficient of friction allows the application of longitudinal tensile stresses. These longitudinal tensile stresses counteract the yield strength and are the major factor in achieving film strain in film rolling resistance. A reduction in thickness without these longitudinal tensile stresses is from a technical point of view certainly not possible.
    During cold rolling with a closed roll gap, the reduction resulting from the process and thus the strip thickness in the roll outlet are regulated by means of the primary parameter entry-tension (intake run), since these act against the deformation resistance of the aluminum foil 4. After reaching the maximum intake train, the secondary control parameter rolling speed is used to vary the lubricant film thickness (hydrodynamic lubricant intake).
    In cold rolling, a mixed friction condition is sought, which is characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of boundary friction and fluid friction. In fluid friction, that is hydrodynamic lubrication 14, both surfaces are completely separated. The transferred shear stress depends on the dynamic viscosity of the lubricant and the speed difference between the work roll and the aluminum foil. By contrast, in boundary friction, the two surfaces are only separated by a layer of lubricant that is only a few molecules thick, with the viscosity of the lubricant playing only a minor role. The relationship between boundary friction and liquid friction over the length of the nip depends on the layer thickness of the drawn-in lubricant and the roughness of the work roll and aluminum foil. · «« * «+ ·» »*« · • • • · 6 * · # · · ·······
    The mechanisms for influencing the lubricant film thickness 13 are influenced by the hydrodynamic lubricant feed, the entry of lubricant into the roughness valleys 11 b and the attachment of lubricant particles, see FIG. 2 b.
    The hydrodynamic lubricant entry 14 takes place primarily in the inlet zone to the nip 9. In this case, the inlet zone forms a wedge-shaped gap 12, wherein the work roll 11 and the aluminum foil 4 entrain as limiting surfaces in their movement in the direction of the wedge tip lubricant 13 in the form of a film, see Fig. 2a. The resulting in rolling oil hydrodynamic pressure build-up depends on the rolling speed, the viscosity of the lubricant and the geometry of the nip. As soon as the flow condition for the aluminum foil 4 is fulfilled, these are plastically deformed, and the layer thickness of the lubricant present at this point is drawn into the nip 9.
    In the nip 9, lubricant is introduced into the surface depressions, the so-called roughness valleys 11 b, on the work roll 11 and the aluminum foil 4, see FIG. 4 c. This process depends not only on the oil storage volume of the surfaces but also on the orientation of the surface structure.
    This mechanism can be used for the targeted change of the friction conditions, and subsequently serves to produce an altered surface texture due to the resulting fluid friction. This is done by the lack of contact of the work roll and the lack of texturing in the rolling direction.
    On the surface of the work roll and the aluminum foil are formed by physisorption and chemisorption of lubricant components, such as. For example, surface-active additives, boundary layers, which are guided in the nip 9. This mechanism is of rolling and rolling stock and the chemical composition of the rolling oil 12 and its
    Temperature influences. Since the temperature and the composition of the rolling oil 12 with respect to the attachment of lubricant components in the process according to the invention do not differ from the conventional cold rolling process, this mechanism will not be discussed in detail.
    However, the combination of the above effects makes it possible to bring the lubricating film thickness and the concomitant change in the tribological conditions in the nip from the mixed friction region in the region of the motif into the hydrodynamic region by means of targeted and partial destruction of the grinding structure of the work roll. This results in the floating of the work roll, and there is a random texture, which differs barely measurable in the measured roughness, but visually differs significantly from the other surface areas due to the reflective properties, which by the partial contact with the work roll one in the rolling direction have structured surface.
    The manufactured aluminum foil 1 with integrated security features 6 is photographed for analysis purposes in several passes with optical methods.
    To illustrate the surface structure, representative foil samples in A4 format are produced. For the measurement of the surface structure of the tools required for the production, epoxy resin impressions of the surface are made and measured by means of incident light microscope and InfiniteFocus.
    With the aid of this analysis method, it is now possible to carry out an optical identification for the detection of the security features 6 produced according to the invention. Thus, Fig. 5 shows the representation of a security feature 6 consisting of the word security in conjunction with the usual in the medical industry representation of an Aesculapian. This is, of course, presented here only as an example without any claim to any exclusion rights ** • * ** »# ♦ ··· #. In any case, it is essential to point out that the surface side represented in FIG. 5 b, which was turned away from the roll surface during the rolling process, does not have any undesirable negative pressure motifs of the aforementioned security feature.
    FIG. 6 shows an imaginative representation of a security feature 6, wherein in detail B, see FIG. 6b, it can be established that in the area of the security feature 6 a matt surface, but in the respectively adjacent surface areas, the structuring 3 continues to be obtained in the longitudinal direction is, whereby the surface appears shiny.
    Similarly, FIG. 7 shows a representation of a security feature 6 taken by means of scanning electron microscopy. In the area of the security feature, the surface is matt, whereas in the adjacent surface areas the surface appears shiny. The detailed views according to FIGS. 7a and 7b show that this different effect is caused by the fact that the surface is rough in the area of the security feature 6 but longitudinally structured in the adjacent areas.
    The same applies to the representation shown in FIG. 8 of an aluminum foil 1 produced according to the invention with integrated security feature 6 security after the infinitive focus analysis. It can also be deduced from the respective representations according to FIGS. 8a, 8b, 8c and 8d that in the area of the
    Security feature 6 a random texturing, whereas in the adjacent area a directional structuring 13 is present.
    In summary, the following essential distinguishing features are listed for the exact identification of the method according to the invention: ## EQU1 ##
    ϊ: 9 - application of the security feature 6 immediately and simultaneously with the reduction of the thickness of the aluminum foil 4; Therefore, no additional work step is required, - High cost-effectiveness due to high speeds in the production of the aluminum foil 1 according to the invention, - Difficult imitation due to the complexity of the basic process, - Clear allocation of the process to the rolling process due to the shape and arrangement of the surface structuring 3, - No possibility of Removal of the security features 6 without destroying the surface of the aluminum foil 1,
    No crushing of the security feature 6 on the back of the aluminum foil 1 - No change in the physical and / or chemical properties of the aluminum foil 4 such as roughness, foldability, elongation, tensile strength and wettability, - change in the surface condition in the 4th order, measurable over the middle Roughness depth Rz. No significant change in the average roughness Ra in the area of the security feature 6 No change in shape in the area of the first order (shape deviations such as unevenness or out-of-roundness), 2nd order (undulations) or 3rd order (grooves).
    When used according to the invention cold rolling the optical features, such as the security features 6, introduced by targeted application of different surface textures of the aluminum foil in the 4th order. There is no significant difference in roughness depths, but a difference in the texture type of grooves and scales is achieved. A change in the shape of the aluminum foil 4 can not be determined, therefore, a push is not given on the back of the film.

    Finishing technologies, such as embossing (embossing) differ significantly from the inventive method in terms of the source material, technology and manufacturing process and the optical or mechanical properties of the final product, as in a Eindrückverfahren, the embossed motif often undesirably pushed through to the back of the embossed material becomes.
    During rolling in the course of the method according to the invention, the surface structure of the aluminum foil 4 is changed during the forming process, which makes it possible to design the surface with one or more security features 6. An imitation by common
    Finishing technologies are not possible or easily identifiable as such. The production and further processing of the aluminum foil 1 according to the invention with integrated security features 6 does not differ with regard to the number of manufacturing steps from the processing of standard, hard-rolled aluminum foils and can thus easily be implemented in the production process customary for pharmaceutical products. The produced aluminum foil 1 shows on both surface sides 2a, 2b a shiny appearance, so that the security feature 6 stands out very succinctly due to its matt appearance.
