Lichen Aluminum: Where Coils Meet Circles

 

Henan Lichen Aluminum Co., Ltd has established itself as a major supplier of aluminum products, specializing in both basic and deep‑processed aluminium forms. Two of their standout lines are aluminum coil and aluminum circle.

What Is Aluminum Coil at Lichen?

Long continuous strips of aluminum sheet are wound into rolls are called aluminum coil.  Lichen’s coil portfolio includes many alloys, such as 1060, 3003, 5052, 5754, and 6061. These alloys differ in strength, corrosion resistance, weldability, and formability.

Aluminum Circle: Deep‑Processing into Rounds

An aluminum circle (also called a disc or round plate) is a circular blank stamped, pressed, or cut from coil or sheet material. Lichen manufactures heavy‑gauge aluminum circles with thicknesses in the range of ~0.3 mm to ~6 mm (depending on alloy and requirement) and diameters up to about 1200–1500 mm. Common alloys include 1050, 1100, 3003 among others. Surfaces may be untreated, anodized, brushed, polished, or finished to suit functional or aesthetic purposes.

Circles are used in applications where a round form is needed: cookware (pots, pans, non‑stick skillets), lids, kitchenware, lamp housings, decorative panels, traffic or road signs, and more. The precision in shape, uniform thickness, and clean surface finish matter a lot for circles, especially when they will be drawn, spun, or deeply formed. Lichen’s offering usually includes good deep drawing / spinning quality, thanks to the underlying sheet/coil quality and the processing steps (annealing, surface treatment, etc.).

Why Choose Coil or Circle — and How They Complement Each Other

Choosing between aluminum coil and aluminum circle depends largely on what the end product is. If large continuous surface coverage or material that will be cut, bent, or formed into many shapes is needed, coils provide better economy and flexibility. They can be coated, rolled, cut into sheets or strips, and used in bulk.

For manufacturers of cookware, lighting fixtures, signage, or decorative hardware, both coil and circle from the same supplier can streamline consistency in material properties. For example, the same alloy from coil might be used to cut or stamp circles; this ensures color, finish, temper, and corrosion resistance match across parts.

Applications and Value

Aluminum coil finds wide use in building façades, roofing panels, decorative ceilings, signage backings, industrial components, and wherever large‑scale, flat or curved aluminum surfaces are needed. Aluminum circle finds its niche in cookware production, kitchen utensils, non‑stick pan bases, lampshades, signal plates, lighting reflectors, and anywhere around blank is needed with precise tolerances.
