Dave,
     The most popular process for creating pressurized cans (soda, shaving 
cream, paint) is by extrusion, a 1/4 inch thick or so circular slug is 
stamped by a large machine, which pulls the material into a can shape.  The 
top is crimped on by another machine (a separate piece of aluminum is used 
for the top).  I have one of the flat slugs in my bedroom, weighing down 
some papers.
