Impact
Bonded Bottom Plates-- Meyer is a
major producer of bottom plates that are impact bonded to stainless
steel cookware. Anyone familiar with this business knows that bonding
can be a temperamental process and the quality of the aluminum can
play an important role. Meyer has been producing impact bonded bottom
plates in high volumes for more than 10 years. We have learned the
tricks of the trade for this type of product.
MO Temper-- MO
Temper is specifically designed to produce fry pans or other items
with a shallow draw. This product is sold at a lower cost than our
standard "O" temper material but it cannot be used to produce items
with higher drawing ratios such as sauce pans. |

Heavy Gage Circle-- Meyer
can produce circles with thicknesses up to 6.2mm (.25") thick. Such
thickness are commonly required with commercial quality cookware.
Porcelain Enamel Quality-- Meyer
will automatically control the chemistry of alloy 3003 to assure that
it can be porcelain enamel coated without the spalling effect.
Non-Stick Coated-- Meyer
offers non-stick roller coated aluminum circles that are suitable
for making low cost fry pans.
Alloy 3004-- Meyer
alloy 3004 is harder than alloy 3003 and is only slightly higher in
price. This alloy is commonly used to produce commercial and restaurant
quality cookware.
Alloy 4006-- Alloy
4006 is very similar to alloy 3003 but it is specifically designed
for porcelain enamel cookware. Its advantage is that the metal becomes
harder during the curing process of the porcelain enamel coating.
Hard Anodize-- The
Meyer Corporation was one of the pioneers in applying the hard anodize
technology to cookware. Meyer has developed a special hard anodize
(HA) quality. This product is designed to provide a smooth consistent
surface finish after hard anodizing. It also provides a dark gray,
non-yellowing color.
Deep Drawing Quality-- Meyer's
specialty is in deep drawing quality. Grain size is tightly controlled
to minimize the "orange peel effect". This is a rough surface, like
the surface of an orange peel, which often occurs after deep drawing.
Meyer tightly controls the chemistry and heat treating to maximize
the elongation that allows the material to stretch more.
