Aluminum Circle and Aluminum Disc with precise size, smooth surface and stable performance. DC types offer high ductility for deep drawing, while CC grades provide cost-effective solutions. Custom alloys, thickness and diameters for cookware, hardware, automotive and electrical industrial procurement.

DC and CC refer to distinct quality grades of aluminum circles used in circular stampings for cookware, lighting reflectors, and related components.

Both DC and CC products are produced from aluminum alloys, but they emphasize different performance criteria throughout the manufacturing and forming processes.

• DC (Deep Drawing) Aluminum Circle
  • Purpose: Optimized for deep drawing and complex forming operations with minimal cracking and distortion.
  • Characteristics: Higher ductility and elongation in the relevant directions, tighter control of thickness during forming, and surfaces prepared to withstand significant forming stresses.
  • Typical applications: Cookware bottoms, deep-drawn components, metal shells requiring substantial forming.
• CC (Cold Cast / Cold-Formed Circle)
  • Purpose: Suited to general stamping and lighter forming tasks where extreme drawability is less critical.
  • Characteristics: Good surface quality with stable thickness and dimensional accuracy, suitable for standard stamping without aggressive drawing requirements.
  • Typical applications: Flat discs, shallow-stamped pieces, components where high drawing force is not essential.

What Are Aluminum Circle and Aluminum Disc?

In the aluminum industry, Aluminum Circle and Aluminum Disc refer to the same round aluminum sheet product, with only different naming habits in regional markets.

They are processed from aluminum alloy sheets through cutting, stamping and finishing, featuring uniform thickness, smooth surface and excellent formability. These products are mainly made of 1000, 3000 and 5000 series aluminum alloys, with customizable thicknesses, diameters and tempers to meet diverse industrial and civilian needs.

Based on different production casting technologies, standard products are divided into two core categories: DC (Direct Chill) series including DC Aluminum Circle and DC Aluminum Disc, and CC (Continuous Casting) series covering CC Aluminum Circle and CC Aluminum Disc. The process difference fundamentally distinguishes their performance and application value.
