Many cookware manufacturers and brands still struggle with recurring product issues that drive returns, complaints, and weak margins: uneven heating and hotspots, warping after repeated heating cycles, poor induction compatibility, inconsistent finish quality, and the cost of fully clad constructions. These issues translate into longer cook times, customer dissatisfaction, and higher warranty costs.
Hengguang, a supplier of tri-ply stainless steel discs, is bringing our products to address problems with your cookware. In cookware applications—frying pans, saucepans, pressure-cooker bases, and small kettles—tri-ply discs deliver faster, more even heating, improved flatness retention, and easier manufacturing at scale.
Why Tri-ply Works for Cookware
A tri-ply assembly (stainless steel / high-conductivity core / stainless steel) combines the surface properties and food safety of stainless steel with the thermal performance of an aluminum core. The result for cookware is measurable: faster heat spread, reduced energy waste, fewer hot spots (better cooking results), and greater structural stiffness—especially important for bases and pressure-service cookware.
Key commercial benefits for brands and OEMs:
- better cooking performance ⇒ improved consumer reviews
- lower return rates from deformation and delamination
- lower processing cost vs. fully clad bodies (disc bonding + attachment is simpler)
- straightforward induction compatibility when the outer layer is magnetic

Advantages of the tri-ply stainless steel disc
- Excellent thermal conductivity: The middle layer of triply stainless steel discs is made of aluminum with high thermal conductivity, which effectively improves the overall thermal conductivity. In the field of stainless steel cookware, using thinner discs will heat the cookware faster, which is generally used in the manufacture of pans and milk pans. Using thicker discs will make the overall thermal conductivity of the cookware uniform, which is generally used in the manufacture of large cookware such as woks.
- Excellent durability: The outer and inner layers are made of high-quality stainless steel, which has extremely high durability. In the field of manufacturing stainless steel cookware, it can significantly improve the service life and performance of the product and meet the needs of high-frequency use and harsh environments.
- Wide range of applications: triply stainless steel raw materials are widely used in cookware manufacturing, industrial manufacturing, and medical device manufacturing. It is an excellent material.
- Accurate size: Our manufacturing process can accurately control the size and thickness of the disc, ensuring that each product meets the standards in terms of weight, thickness, and flatness.
Customization Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Disc Options
Customizable Thickness Options: Available in 1.8mm, 2.0mm, 2.2mm, 2.5mm, and 3.0mm thicknesses, with full support for custom thicknesses.
Pattern Customization: Supports a variety of patterns, including hexagonal, diamond, logos, and other bespoke designs, offering full creative flexibility.
Material: 304/316 Stainless Steel + Aluminum + 430 Stainless Steel
Size: Customize different sizes of the tri-ply stainless steel disc.
Shapes: Round Plates / Any special shape. The circular size can be 250mm-500mm. Special-shaped size can be 900mm.
