Pressed Aluminum Process

Pressed aluminum cookware begins with a formed metal blank. It is a useful route for repeatable pan shapes when the selected tooling matches the design.

Wall thickness, depth and rim geometry should be reviewed together because forming changes the blank into the final body. A buyer should also define the base design, handle mounting and surface finish before approving production drawings.

What to confirm in your brief

  • Supply target diameter, depth and profile.
  • Confirm body thickness and base construction.
  • Review formed rim, handle points and coating on a sample.

Next step

Compare the construction with the actual product type and target market. View related cookware, or return to Aluminum materials. The final choice should be confirmed through an approved specification and sample.
