The secrete is, you can judge the quality of aluminum cookware simply by colors. Aluminum products can be roughly divided into two parts by processing methods–refined aluminium (soft aluminum) and cast aluminium (hard aluminum). Their colors include white, light yellow and other colors. White products have gone through casting or punching. Cast products, polished mechanically, have loose structures. Punched products, which have been washed and polished by mechanics and sand, have a thin layer of uneven natural oxidized layer that gets damaged very easily. Yellow aluminum products, however, has a layer of light yellow man-made film of five to 20μm. The film demonstrates strong corrosion resistance to alkali. Therefore, light yellow aluminum products boasts good look, easy cleaning, strong corrosion resistance and excellent wear resistance. That’s why aluminum cookware wins so much popularity.
