1000 series aluminum discs (such as 1050, 1060, 1070 and other pure aluminum series) are widely used in cookware manufacturing due to their excellent thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and processing performance.

The following are specific application scenarios and characteristics:

1. Application scenarios

1000 series aluminum discs are often used as the base material of non-stick pans. The softness of pure aluminum makes it easy to stamp and form, suitable for making shallow punched cookware (such as frying pans and milk pans).

Traditional aluminum pots

Used to make steamers, boiling pots, etc., which are light and low-cost, usually anodized or hard-oxidized to enhance the surface hardness.

Baking utensils

Cake molds, pizza pans, etc., because the uniform thermal conductivity of aluminum can prevent food from burning.

2. Core advantages

Excellent thermal conductivity: more uniform heating

Lightweight: low density, suitable for cookware that needs to be moved frequently.

Easy to process: good ductility, suitable for cold processing processes such as stamping and spinning, reducing production costs.

Corrosion resistance: The purity of 1000 series aluminum is ≥99.5%, and a dense oxide film (Al₂O₃) is easily formed on the surface, which is resistant to corrosion in daily cooking environments.

3. Comparison with other aluminum series

3000 series aluminum (such as 3003): Contains manganese, has higher strength, and is suitable for deep-drawn cookware (such as pressure cookers).

5 000series aluminum (such as 5052): Contains magnesium, has better corrosion resistance and strength, but is more expensive and is mostly used in professional kitchenware.

1000 series aluminum discs occupy an important position in mid- and low-end cookware and composite cookware due to their economy and basic performance, but they need to rely on surface treatment technology to make up for the lack of strength.
