Comprehensive Analysis of Aluminum Cup Manufacturing — Materials Chapter

Every cup holds a story, and life is filled with warmth. Hello everyone, and welcome to "Dong Dong's Cup Talk" Many friends already know that I primarily specialize in producing various types of stainless steel cups and plastic cups. https://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10101.htmlAlthough I previously shared an in-depth analysis of glass cups, it was made possible with the help of friends. If you encounter any issues when purchasing or developing stainless steel or plastic cup products, feel free to message me privately. I am more than happy to provide you with dedicated assistance.

Perhaps due to the season or the arrival of another peak sales period, I have recently received numerous inquiries from around the world about purchasing aluminum cups. https://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10101.htmlThis inspired me to share some insights about aluminum cups. Considering my limited expertise in this area, I have invited Mr. Xuan, who has nearly 20 years of experience in operating an aluminum cup factory, to elaborate on the intricacies of aluminum cup manufacturing.

The "Iron Rules" and Flexibility in Aluminum Material Selection

Mainstream Material: 3104 Aluminum Alloy (contains Mn, Mg)

Advantages: https://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10101.htmlHigh strength (tensile strength ≥ 270 MPa), excellent deep-drawing performance, good corrosion resistance. Suitable for 90% of conventional cup designs.

Material Selection for Special Requirements:

- Ultra-thin cups (below 0.6mm): Use 8011-O state aluminum, which offers exceptional plasticity but lower strength.

- Specialty-shaped deep-drawn pots (e.g., square pots): Choose 5182-O state aluminum for a higher ultimate drawing ratio.

- High-temperature water pots (not for open flame): https://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10101.htmlUse copper-containing 2017 alloy (requires enhanced internal coating for protection).
