1. 1000 series pure aluminum discs: high purity and multiple applications

1000 series aluminum discs are based on industrial pure aluminum, with an aluminum content of ≥99%. Common grades include 1050, 1060 (purity 99.6%), 1070 and 1100 (purity 99.0%). Its core advantages are:

- Extreme processing performance:

The elongation can reach more than 25%, which is suitable for complex forming processes such as deep drawing and spinning. For example, the thickness tolerance of 1060 aluminum discs after cold rolling is controlled at ±0.02mm, and the surface roughness Ra≤0.8μm, which can be directly used in capacitor housing manufacturing.

- Excellent corrosion resistance:

The corrosion rate in a neutral environment is only 1/5 of that of ordinary steel. It is widely used in food can heads, pharmaceutical packaging aluminum foil and other fields. A European food company uses 1100 aluminum discs to manufacture milk powder cans, which have passed FDA food contact certification and extended the shelf life to 24 months.

- High conductivity:

The conductivity of 1060 aluminum discs is ≥61% IACS, which is often used for soft connections of new energy vehicle batteries. The temperature range is -40℃ to 150℃, and it has passed UL 94 V-0 flame retardant certification.

Typical application scenarios:

- Cookware manufacturing: After anodizing, the hardness of 1060 aluminum discs reaches 2H, which is made into non-stick pan substrates, and the thermal conductivity uniformity is 30% higher than that of stainless steel.

- Architectural decoration: The reflectivity of 1100 aluminum discs is ≥85%, which is used for traffic signs and curtain wall decoration, and the outdoor service life exceeds 10 years.

- Electronic devices: 1050 aluminum discs (purity 99.5%) are made into LED lamp heat sinks with a thermal conductivity of 200W/(m・K), which is 40% lower than copper material cost.

2. 3000 series aluminum-manganese alloy discs: the golden balance of corrosion resistance and strength

3000 series aluminum discs are based on aluminum-manganese alloy (manganese content 1.0%-1.5%), with representative grades 3003 and 3004. Its technical characteristics include:

- Enhanced corrosion resistance:

No red rust in the salt spray test (NSS) in marine climate for 500 hours, far exceeding 1000 series aluminum discs products. A Southeast Asian port uses 3003 aluminum discs to manufacture cargo identification signs, which are maintenance-free for 5 years.

- Medium strength characteristics:

Tensile strength 120-160MPa, 30% higher than pure aluminum, while maintaining good formability. The cupping value of 3003 aluminum discs is ≥9.0mm (thickness 2.0-4.0mm), and can be processed into complex shapes such as pressure cookers and baking trays.

- Environmental compatibility:

RoHS compliant, widely used in cosmetic packaging and medical equipment components. A German daily chemical company uses 3004 aluminum discs to manufacture perfume bottle caps, and the color stability after surface anodizing is more than 10 years.

Typical application scenarios:

- High-end cookware: 3003 aluminum discs can be made into 0.8mm ultra-thin pressure cooker substrates through a special cold rolling process (total processing rate of more than 80%), and the thermal expansion coefficient matches the stainless steel bottom, solving the delamination problem of traditional composite bottoms.

- Industrial equipment: 3004 aluminum discs (H24 state) are used for chemical storage tank linings, with better acid and alkali corrosion resistance than 316L stainless steel, and a 25% reduction in cost.

- Lightweighting of automobiles: 3003 aluminum discs are made into body trim strips, the surface electrophoretic coating adhesion reaches 5B level, and the weather resistance passes the QUV 3000-hour test.


Process innovation and quality control system

- Precision processing technology

Cold rolling process: Using a 20-roller Sendzimir rolling mill, the thickness tolerance of 3003 aluminum discs is controlled at ±0.015mm, meeting the needs of precision parts such as electronic shielding covers.

Hot rolling process: Through double-stage heat treatment (615℃×10h+445℃×8h), the grain size of 3003 aluminum discs is refined to ASTM 6 level, and the earing rate during deep drawing is ≤3%, significantly reducing the scrap rate.

- Surface treatment solution

Anodizing: film thickness 8-25μm, hardness ≥3H, salt spray resistance test 1000 hours, suitable for high-end cookware and lamp housings.

Painting process: Fluorocarbon coating (PVDF) is used, which has a weather resistance of 25 years and is widely used in building curtain walls and outdoor billboards.

- Testing and certification system

Mechanical properties: tensile strength, elongation, cupping value and other indicators have passed the ISO 6892-1 standard test.

Environmental certification: The product has passed international certifications such as FDA (food contact), RoHS (restriction of hazardous substances), EN 573 (EU building materials).
