Title

As an aluminum circle manufacturer, we produce 1/8 inch 24 inch aluminum discs for fabrication projects requiring a flat, round blank with stable dimensions, controlled material properties, and consistent processing performance. A 24 inch aluminum disc with a nominal thickness of 1/8 inch, or 0.125 inch, is commonly selected for spun components, formed covers, lighting parts, equipment housings, cookware bases, architectural details, signage, and industrial assemblies.

Our production process is designed for B2B fabrication customers that require repeatability from one production batch to the next. We manufacture aluminum circle discs from controlled coil or sheet stock, then process them through blanking, deburring, flattening, inspection, protective packing, and export preparation. Material selection, temper, edge condition, and dimensional tolerance are confirmed against the buyer's fabrication method before production.

Product Overview

The 1/8 inch 24 inch aluminum disc is a large-diameter circular aluminum blank. Its 24 inch diameter provides sufficient surface area for parts that require deep drawing, metal spinning, stamping, machining, or assembly. At 0.125 inch thickness, the disc offers greater rigidity than thin-gauge aluminum circles while remaining workable in suitable alloy and temper combinations.

We supply aluminum discs in common 1000 series grades, including 1050, 1060, 1070, and 1100. These grades are widely used where corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, surface finish, and formability are more important than high structural strength. For applications involving extensive shaping, softer tempers such as O temper are generally preferred. For parts that require improved handling stiffness and lower deformation during fabrication, H14 or other specified tempers may be evaluated according to the forming operation.

The final specification should be based on the customer's drawing, forming depth, tooling design, surface requirement, and subsequent operations such as welding, anodizing, coating, or polishing.

Standard Technical Parameters

The following table shows typical parameters for a 1/8 inch 24 inch aluminum disc for fabrication. Values can be adjusted according to agreed purchase specifications.

Selecting the Right Alloy and Temper

Material grade and temper have a direct effect on fabrication results. Our factory reviews these requirements before confirming the order because a disc intended for spinning is not always specified the same way as a disc intended for machining or a flat assembled component.

1050 Aluminum Circle for General Forming

1050 aluminum is a commercially pure aluminum grade with good corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and forming capability. It is frequently selected for spun parts, reflectors, decorative components, cookware-related applications, and general industrial fabrication. Customers needing good ductility may specify 1050 Aluminum Circle material in O temper for improved deformation performance during shaping.

1060 Aluminum Disc for Deep Drawing and Spinning

1060 aluminum provides high aluminum content and reliable workability. It is commonly used where deep drawing, spinning, pressing, or surface finishing is required. Our 1060 Aluminium Circle material can be supplied in tempers appropriate for large-diameter blanks, subject to the required thickness and forming process. For a 24 inch aluminum circle, correct annealing is particularly important when the finished part includes a deep wall, narrow radius, or complex profile.

1100 Aluminum for Fabrication and Finishing

1100 aluminum is another suitable option for fabricated aluminum discs. It offers good corrosion resistance and good workability, and it can support applications involving chemical processing equipment, lighting components, cookware parts, decorative items, and general metal fabrication. Where finishing is important, we can discuss surface quality requirements before blanking and packing.

Manufacturing Process for 24 Inch Aluminum Discs

Our manufacturing sequence is controlled to maintain dimensional consistency and minimize surface damage. The process begins with qualified aluminum coil or sheet stock. We verify material identification, thickness, surface appearance, and other agreed quality criteria before processing.

The material is then blanked into 24 inch aluminum discs using equipment suitable for the specified diameter, thickness, and order quantity. Tooling condition is monitored to maintain a clean edge and reduce burr formation. If the application requires a defined edge condition, we provide deburring or edge treatment as agreed in the order documentation.

After blanking, the discs are checked for diameter, thickness, flatness, surface condition, and edge quality. For O temper material, we also focus on protecting the soft surface during handling and stacking. Interleaving paper or other protective layers can be used to reduce contact marks during transport.

Fabrication Performance Considerations

A 0.125 inch aluminum disc is often used where the finished component needs more stiffness than thin aluminum sheet blanks can provide. However, the required fabrication method must be considered carefully. Thick discs need suitable press capacity, spinning equipment, tool radii, lubrication, and forming speed.

For metal spinning, O temper aluminum is often preferred because it accommodates deformation more effectively. The spinning mandrel, roller profile, and incremental forming procedure should be selected to avoid localized thinning, wrinkling, or surface scoring. For stamping or pressing, the die clearance and hold-down force should be matched to the material thickness and temper.

For machined parts, a 1/8 inch 24 inch aluminum disc can provide a convenient near-net blank. Machining customers should specify whether they require a standard blanked edge, an oversized diameter allowance, low surface contamination, or a protective film. These details help us supply material that supports efficient downstream processing.

For welded assemblies, alloy selection should account for the welding process and filler material. The 1000 series aluminum family generally has good weldability, but joint design, heat input, cleaning procedure, and post-weld finishing requirements remain important.

Typical Applications

Our 24 inch aluminum circle discs are manufactured for a range of industrial and commercial fabrication uses, including:

• Spun lighting reflectors, lamp housings, and decorative shades.

• Equipment covers, round access panels, and enclosure components.

• Cookware bases, lids, and formed kitchen equipment parts.

• HVAC, ventilation, and thermal management components.

• Traffic, safety, and information sign blanks.

• Architectural circular panels and decorative metal elements.

• Machinery guards, flanges, mounting plates, and fabricated assemblies.

• Electrical and electronic components requiring conductive aluminum blanks.

The suitability of a 1/8 inch aluminum disc for any end use depends on the material grade, temper, fabrication process, and applicable local standards. Our technical team can review drawings and material requirements before production.

Quality Inspection and Traceability

We operate quality controls throughout production rather than relying only on final inspection. Material identification is maintained from incoming stock through blanking and packing. For each order, we verify key requirements such as alloy, temper, thickness, diameter, surface condition, and packing method.

Dimensional inspection is carried out using calibrated measuring equipment. Thickness is checked at multiple locations where required, and diameter is verified against the agreed tolerance. Visual inspection is used to identify scratches, stains, edge defects, dents, or other surface issues that could affect downstream fabrication.

For customers requiring additional documentation, we can provide mill test certificates, packing lists, commercial invoices, and inspection records according to the confirmed order terms. Special inspection requirements should be communicated before production so that sampling plans and acceptance criteria can be defined correctly.

Packaging for Export Fabrication Supply

Large-diameter aluminum discs require careful packaging because surface damage can occur through movement, moisture exposure, or direct metal-to-metal contact. We stack the discs in stable quantities, use protective interleaving when required, and apply moisture-resistant wrapping before palletizing.

For export orders, pallets are secured to reduce shifting during container transport. Wooden pallet packaging can be arranged in accordance with destination requirements. Labels may include product description, alloy, temper, dimensions, batch number, package number, net weight, and gross weight to support receiving inspection and warehouse traceability.

Ordering Information for Custom Aluminum Discs

To quote a 1/8 inch 24 inch aluminum disc accurately, we recommend providing the following information:

1. Required alloy, such as 1050, 1060, or 1100.

2. Required temper, such as O, H14, or H24.

3. Diameter and thickness, including any special tolerance requirement.

4. Intended fabrication method, such as spinning, stamping, machining, or welding.

5. Surface requirement, including mill finish, protective film, or oil-controlled surface.

6. Edge requirement, including standard blanked edge or deburred edge.

7. Order quantity, packaging preference, destination port, and required documents.

As a direct aluminum circle manufacturer, we produce 1/8 inch 24 inch aluminum discs according to agreed specifications rather than treating all fabrication blanks as identical. Clear technical communication before production helps ensure that the selected alloy, temper, tolerance, and packaging support reliable results in your manufacturing process.
