Sell 1050/1060/3003/5052 hot-rolled aluminum circles for cookware

In the cookware manufacturing industry, the quality of raw materials directly
determines the durability and appearance of the finished products. The 1050, 1060,
3003, and 5052 hot rolled (DC material) aluminum circles we supply have become the
preferred choice for cookware manufacturers worldwide thanks to their excellent
ductility and stable chemical composition. These aluminum circles are widely used in
the production of pots, pressure cookers, and non-stick pans.
Compared with continuous casting (CC) materials, the hot rolling process ensures a
finer and more uniform grain structure, enabling the material to perform well in
complex deep drawing and spinning processes, effectively preventing defects such as
orange peel surface or cracking during forming.
Main Material Characteristics
1050 / 1060 Aluminum Circles
These alloys belong to the industrial pure aluminum series, with very high aluminum
content. They offer excellent thermal conductivity and outstanding ductility, making
them particularly suitable for cookware products requiring deep drawing and
stretching processes, such as stock pots and steamers.
3003 Aluminum Circles
3003 alloy contains a small amount of manganese added to pure aluminum, which
improves strength and corrosion resistance while maintaining good workability. It is
commonly used for mid- to high-end cookware and as a base material for non-stick
pans.
5052 Aluminum Circles
This alloy belongs to the aluminum-magnesium series and provides higher strength
and excellent corrosion resistance. It is suitable for producing durable cookware
products or thick-bottom cookware structures.

Alloy Characteristics and Typical Applications
Alloy Grade Main Characteristics Typical Applications
1050 / 1060 Aluminum content above 99.5%, excellent thermal conductivity, easy to
form Stock pots, kettles, basins, lighting reflectors
3003 Aluminum-manganese alloy with strong corrosion resistance, about 20%
higher strength than 1xxx series High-end pressure cookers, non-stick pan bases,
rice cooker inner pots
5052 Aluminum-magnesium alloy with high strength and excellent corrosion
resistance Premium cookware, impact-resistant utensils, anodizing-grade circles

FAQ
Q1: Which aluminum circles are commonly used for cookware production?
A: The most common materials are 1050, 1060, and 3003 aluminum circles, as they
offer excellent ductility and thermal conductivity, making them suitable for deep
drawing and spinning processes.
Q2: Are aluminum circles suitable for deep drawing?
A: Yes. Aluminum circles in the O temper or soft condition have excellent ductility and
are ideal for deep drawing and stamping processes used in cookware production.
Q3: Can the diameter and thickness be customized?
A: Yes. Custom diameters, thicknesses, and surface treatments can be produced
according to customer requirements.
Q4: Will there be burrs on the edges of aluminum circles?
A: Our products are manufactured using high-precision blanking or cutting processes,
resulting in smooth edges with minimal burrs, suitable for automated production lines.
Q5: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: For non-standard specifications, the minimum order quantity is generally 2 tons.
Special sizes can be evaluated according to customer requirements.
Q6: Do you provide free samples?
A: Customers are welcome to conduct stamping tests. We can provide free samples of
common specifications (such as 1.0 mm–3.0 mm thickness), while the international
courier cost needs to be covered by the customer.
