Aluminium Slugs for Cigarette Lighter Shells

Aluminium slugs are widely used in the production of metal lighter shells due to their excellent formability, smooth surface, and high-purity composition. These slugs are especially suitable for deep drawing and surface finishing, making them ideal for manufacturing cigarette lighters, cigar lighters, and other spark ignition devices.

Specifications:

• Alloy options: 1050, 1060, 1070 (purity ≥99.5%)

• Hardness: 16–23 HB

• Thickness: 2mm to 30mm

• Diameter: 10mm to 200mm

• Shapes: Flat round, dome, oval, rectangle, round with hole, or custom

• Surface finish: Mill finish, tumbling, or shot-blasted for better forming and coating

Mechanical Properties:

• Tensile strength: ~70 MPa

• Yield strength: ~35 MPa

• Elongation: Up to 42%, ideal for stretching

• Grain size: 65–95 grains/mm² for consistent texture and durability

Application:

Primarily used for:

• Cigarette lighter shells

• Cigar lighter components

• Other high-precision metal housings requiring stretchability and corrosion resistance

These slugs are suitable for anodizing, painting, and polishing, ensuring both performance and visual appeal. They can also be custom-shaped according to drawings for special designs.

Key Advantages:

• Excellent plasticity and formability

• High surface quality for decorative finishes

• Custom dimensions and shapes supported

• Complies with EN 570/573 and RoHS environmental standards

Whether you’re producing everyday disposable lighters or premium cigar lighters, these aluminium slugs offer the consistent quality and flexibility needed for high-efficiency production.
