1050 h14 aluminium sheet plate

1050 H14 aluminum is a strain-hardened aluminum alloy that belongs to the commercial pure aluminum series, with a purity of 99.5% Al. The 1050 aluminum alloy in the H14 state exhibits higher strength compared to the annealed (O state) but is lower than the fully hard (H18 state). This state is achieved through a simple hardening process, giving the aluminum alloy a balance of strength, good ductility, and excellent machinability.

1050 H14 aluminum is processed to a semi-hard state (H14) through work hardening. This state is achieved by rolling the sheet without subsequent annealing, resulting in a material that strikes a good balance between strength and ductility, while retaining the high formability characteristics of the 1000 series alloys.

H14 indicates a semi-hard temper, processed through cold rolling, offering a combination of strength and plasticity. It is widely used in industries that require lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant materials, making it an economical choice for general applications.
