1100 Aluminum Plate Sheet
What is Aluminum Plate Grade 1100?
1100 aluminum sheet is a commercial pure aluminum alloy, with an aluminum content of at least 99.0%. This high purity gives it excellent properties such as outstanding corrosion resistance, good electrical and thermal conductivity, and excellent machinability. However, compared to other aluminum alloys, its strength is relatively low.
1100 aluminum alloy does not have the ability to be strengthened by heat treatment, but it performs excellently in other aspects.
Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, conductivity, thermal conductivity, and good formability, 1100 aluminum alloy is widely used in various industrial fields. However, due to its low strength, it is suitable for applications where strength requirements are not high.
- Corrosion Resistance: Excellent
- Formability/Workability: Excellent
- Heat Treating: Poor
- Machining: Good
- Weldability: Excellent
1100 aluminum sheet and strip belongs to the pure aluminum sheet series, and its strength is relatively low. After anodizing, the corrosion resistance can be further improved, and a beautiful surface can be obtained.
