Properties of aluminum circle for cookware

An aluminum circle for cookware can be made of many alloys, such as 1050, 1060, 1070, 1100, 3003, 3005, 5052 and so on. Its properties are as below.
First, good corrosion resistance. An aluminum circle, whatever alloy it is of, contains a high content of aluminium that “rusts” easily. Aluminium reacts to oxygen far more faster than iron or copper, but in a quite different result. Iron oxide proves to be a dark brown powder that are so porous that oxygen gets through it to oxidize the inner layer of iron and have a new group of iron oxide powder coming into being. Eventually the whole iron piece will get rusty and disappear. Aluminum oxide, on the other hand, appears as a dense layer of solid item attached firmly to the surface of an aluminum circle for cookware. This layer prevents oxide getting in contact with the inner layer of aluminium. That’s why aluminium cookware, if not anodized or coated, gets a white layer on the surface quickly. Please note that this white layer should not be removed, or else your aluminium pot will get thinner and thinner.

Second, fast heat conductivity. Aluminum circle discs have a heat conductivity of 211.9, second only to silver and copper. Then why many people would rather choose aluminium cookware than copper ones? Because aluminum circles are much cheaper and harder.
Third, wide in hardness range. 1050, 1060, 1070 and 1100 aluminum circle sheets are not so hard as 3003 aluminum circle pieces which are less stronger than 5052 circle. This makes cookware manufacturers have great freedom in choosing raw materials. If they aim to make “disposable” pots which last only months, they adopt 1000 series of aluminum circles, but if they are manufacturing high pressure cookers, they will purchase 5052 aluminum circle featured by a stronger hardness and a longer service life.
Corrosion resistant, fast in heat conductivity and wide in hardness range, the aluminum circle for cookware is winning increasing popularity.

Slitting of 1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip

图片
What kind of machine is used to make aluminum sheets into 1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip belts? Many people might think about a shearing device, but they are actually dealt with by a continuous slitting unit of a similar working principle to that of a shearing device. The difference lies in the point that there is no pause of shearing with a continuous slitting unit. Generally, the mother roll, namely, an  aluminum coil  to be slit, is placed. During the slitting process, the coil roll is divided into several belts which are further rolled into narrow aluminium strip rolls. The slitting method of both  1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip  or other aluminum strips can be divided into two types: a straight pull type and a loose sleeve type. The straight pull type refers to the method that aluminum strip rolls are kept in tension from being fed into the unwinding sail to being coiled by the coiling machine, and this production method is suitable for trimming and intermediate ...

Diamond Embossed Aluminum Sheet Application

The  diamond embossed aluminum sheet  refers to aluminium sheets with diamond patterns on the surface. In addition to 1000 series, 5005 and 3003 are frequently applied alloys as well. 5005  diamond embossed aluminum sheet s can be used for conductivity materials, cookware, instrument panels, electronic shells and building ornaments. Their anodized film proves to be brighter than that of 3003, and the color matches perfectly with that of 6063 aluminum alloy products. Generally speaking,  diamond aluminum checker plate s are sold by the unit of pieces. In international business the unit of metric ton is frequently used as well. Their thickness ranges from 1.7mm to 8mm, but those between 2mm and 7.75mm prove to be the most popular. The width is from 1010 to 1500, among which 1250 and 1500 are most frequently adopted. Embossed aluminum sheet s with different patterns usually match varied application scope. Five-bar and one-bar sheets are mostly used for anti-skid pu...

Embossed Aluminium Coil Patterns And Applications

图片
If you have ever used an escalator you might have noticed that there are partition panels respectively at the bottom and top of the escalator. These partitions are usually paved with  embossed aluminium sheet  coil that have a good pressure bearing capacity and are made of composite metals. As a matter of fact, there are various patterns and applications of embossed aluminium coil, and here we will give a simple introduction. 　　Patterns 　　Aluminum sheets with patterns on the surface is called embossed aluminum sheets or  aluminium tread plate . Pattern shapes include lentils, diamonds, round beans, and oblate mixed shapes. The market is most common in lentils. 　　Application 　　The aluminium tread plate has beautiful appearance, excellent anti-slip property, enhanced performances, and material-saving advantage in production. It is widely used in transportation, construction, decoration, equipment, floor, machinery, shipbuilding and other fields. Generally speaking,...
