How is Aluminum 1100 Processed
Aluminum 1100 is often used in various applications such as chemical equipment, reflectors, heat exchangers, and kitchenware. The processing of aluminum 1100 typically involves several steps:
Casting
The initial step in processing aluminum 1100 involves melting the raw aluminum and casting it into various shapes, such as billets, ingots, or sheets. These shapes can then be further processed into desired products.
Rolling
Aluminum 1100 can be rolled into thin sheets or coils through a process called rolling. This involves passing the metal through a series of rollers, gradually reducing its thickness to the desired dimensions. This process is commonly used to create aluminum foil, sheet metal, and other flat products.
Extrusion
Extrusion is a method used to create complex shapes by forcing aluminum through a die under high pressure. While aluminum 1100 may not be as commonly extruded as other alloys, it is possible to extrude it to form profiles with unique cross-sectional shapes. This process is useful in creating structural components and frames.
Annealing
Annealing is a heat treatment process used to improve the mechanical properties and formability of aluminum 1100. It involves heating the material to a specific temperature and then slowly cooling it. This process can help relieve internal stresses, increase ductility, and improve the material’s workability.
Machining
Aluminum 1100 is relatively soft compared to other aluminum alloys, making it easy to machine. It can be cut, drilled, milled, and turned on standard machine tools. The alloy’s excellent machinability makes it suitable for various precision components.

Common problems in the application of aluminum discs
Aluminum discs are widely used in the production of kitchenware, and the following problems are often encountered in the spinning or drawing process. Huawei Aluminum tries our best to avoid these problems during the production and transportation process.
Spinning cracking
In the spinning process, due to the presence of sand, impurities, or embedded metal, the aluminum wheel may have crack, edge crack and some other problems. This wastes a lot of time and cost. Such problems often occur in aluminum discs produced from scrap.
Orange peel problem
During spinning, sometimes the surface of the finished pot is not smooth and needs to be polished. The main reason for these problems is that the grain size of aluminum circle is secondary or the head and tail of materials are not completely removed in the production process of aluminum circle & disc.
Surface oxidation
Although aluminum disc has good rust resistance, if aluminum disc is corroded by rainwater or water during storage or transportation process, its surface is easy to be oxidized. It will affect the beauty of kitchenware. Therefore, the package must be tight and with enough desiccant.
Insufficient weight
The packaging of aluminum circle is wooden pallet. Generally, the weight of each pallet is about 1000kg to 1500kg. According to international standards, the weight tolerance is+/- 3 ‰. However, due to the difference in scale and packaging weight, many factories will be short of 5KGS to 10KGS per pallet.

Casting production process and its introduction
The purpose of melting and casting is to produce alloys with satisfactory composition and high purity of melt, so as to create favorable conditions for casting alloys of various shapes.
Melting and casting process steps: batching --- feeding --- melting --- stirring after melting, slag removal --- pre-analysis sampling --- adding alloy to adjust the composition, stirring --- refining --- static Setting——Guide furnace casting.
Hot rolling production process and its introduction
- 1. Hot rolling generally refers to rolling above the metal recrystallization temperature;
- 2. During the hot rolling process, the metal has both hardening and softening processes. Due to the influence of deformation speed, as long as the recovery and recrystallization process is too late, there will be a certain work hardening;
- 3. The recrystallization of the metal after hot rolling is incomplete, that is, the coexistence of recrystallized structure and deformed structure;
- 4. Hot rolling can improve the processing performance of metals and alloys, reduce or eliminate casting defects.
- 1. The casting and rolling temperature is generally between 680°C and 700°C. The lower the better, the stable casting and rolling line usually stops once a month or more to re-stand. During the production process, it is necessary to strictly control the liquid level of the front tank to prevent low liquid level;
- 2. Lubrication uses C powder with incomplete combustion of gas for lubrication, which is also one of the reasons for the dirty surface of casting and rolling materials;
- 3. The production speed is generally between 1.5m/min-2.5m/min;
- 4. The surface quality of products produced by casting and rolling is generally relatively low, and generally cannot meet products with special physical and chemical performance requirements.
- 1. Cold rolling refers to the rolling production method below the recrystallization temperature;
- 2. There will be no dynamic recrystallization during the rolling process, and the temperature will rise to the recovery temperature at most, and the cold rolling will appear in a work hardening state, and the work hardening rate will be large;
- 3. The cold-rolled sheet and strip have high dimensional accuracy, good surface quality, uniform structure and performance, and products in various states can be obtained with heat treatment;
- 4. Cold rolling can roll out thin strips, but at the same time, it has the disadvantages of high energy consumption for deformation and many processing passes.
- 1. Finishing is a processing method to make the cold-rolled sheet meet the customer's requirements, or to facilitate the subsequent processing of the product;
- 2. The finishing equipment can correct the defects produced in the hot rolling and cold rolling production process, such as cracked edge, oily, poor plate shape, residual stress, etc. It needs to ensure that no other defects are brought into the production process;
- 3. There are various finishing equipments, mainly including cross-cutting, slitting, stretching and straightening, annealing furnace, slitter, etc.
