1000 series aluminum circle

What is 1000 series aluminum circle

1000 series aluminum circle is an aluminum alloy, This series has the largest aluminum content and the purity can reach more than 99.00%. The 1000 series aluminum alloy determines the minimum aluminum content of this series based on the last two Arabic numerals. For example, the last two Arabic numerals of the 1050 series are 50.

According to the international brand naming principles, the aluminum content must reach more than 99.5% to be a qualified product. This series of aluminum has good formability and surface treatment properties, and its corrosion resistance is better among aluminum alloys. However, its strength is low, and the higher the purity, the lower its strength.

The commonly used 1000 series aluminum circles are 1050, 1070, 1080, and 1100, which can be used for simple extrusion molding (without bending). Among them, 1050 and 1100 can be used for chemical sanding, glossy, matte, and normal effects, which are more obvious. The material texture and coloring effect are good;

In practical applications, 1000 series aluminum circle is often used in applications that require high purity aluminum or do not require high strength, such as the manufacture of wires and cables, chemical equipment, cookware, reflectors, decorative materials, and the production of some signs and containers, such as aluminum circle cards, aluminum discs and other products, these may be the use scenarios of 1000 series aluminum circle.

1000 series aluminum circle production process

1. Raw material preparation:

If the raw material is flat aluminum, the blank needs to be cut first to cut the plate into a suitable square;

If the raw material is aluminum coil, first use an uncoiler to unroll the coil.

2. Preprocessing:

For materials that need to be flattened, a leveler is used to eliminate the internal stress of the board and ensure flatness;

Surface treatments such as cleaning and anti-rust coating may also be required as needed.

3. Blanking:

Use a punching machine (such as a closed single-point or multi-point mechanical press, hydraulic press, etc.) to punch square or other shaped plates into the required round aluminum sheets at one time or through multiple processes.

4. Post-processing:

Conduct quality inspection on stamped aluminum wafers and eliminate unqualified products;

Perform edge trimming, deburring and other operations when necessary;

For demanding applications, heat treatment (such as annealing) may also be performed to improve the material’s mechanical properties or stability.

1000 series aluminum circle features

1000 series aluminum is a series of pure aluminum products. Among all series, 1000 series contains the most aluminum, with a purity of more than 99.00%. Since it does not contain other technical elements, the production process is relatively simple and the price is relatively cheap. It is currently the most common series in conventional industries.

1000 series aluminum generally has the following characteristics:

• – Excellent processability: Industrial pure aluminum has the general characteristics of aluminum and has good plastic processing properties, and can be processed into plates, strips, foils and extruded products.
• – High conductivity: Containing more than 99.00% aluminum, good conductivity.
• – Good corrosion resistance: Industrial pure aluminum has the best corrosion resistance among aluminum alloys.
• – Weldability: good welding performance, can be used for gas welding, argon arc welding and spot welding.
• – Low strength: The strength is low. The higher the purity, the lower the strength.
• – Cannot be heat treated and strengthened: Cannot be heat treated and strengthened.

Application of 1000 series aluminum circle

The 1000 series aluminum circles have a wide range of applications due to their excellent properties such as high formability, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity. Some common applications include:

1. Cookware: 1000 series aluminium circle are commonly used to make cookware such as pots, pans, and cooking utensils due to their good heat conduction and formability.

2. Lighting Reflectors: The high reflectivity of aluminum makes it ideal for use in lighting reflectors, especially in high-intensity discharge lamps and LED lights.

3. Traffic Signs: Aluminum circles are used to make traffic signs due to their durability and corrosion resistance, especially in outdoor environments.

4. Pressure Cookers: The high formability and corrosion resistance of aluminum circles make them suitable for use in pressure cooker lids.

5. Chemical Processing Equipment: Aluminum circles are used in the manufacture of chemical processing equipment due to their corrosion resistance to many chemicals.

6. Electric heater components: Because the 1000 series aluminum circle sheet has strong reflective ability, it can be used in electric heater heat reflection plates.

7. Decorative supplies: 1000 series aluminum circle has excellent decorative properties and is often used to make various decorations.
