The Main 1000 Aluminum Alloys

 The popular alloy grades of 1000 aluminum are 1050, 1060 and 1100. Among all the series, the 1000 series belongs to the series with the most aluminum content. The purity can reach more than 99.00%.

Because it does not contain other technical elements, the production process is relatively simple and the price is relatively cheap. It is the most commonly used series in conventional industries at present.

Theoretically speaking, the corrosion resistance of 1050 aluminium alloy should be stronger than 1060, and other properties are basically equivalent to 1060 aluminum. In fact, 1050 aluminum plate can be completely replaced by 1060.

The chemical composition of the two is quite close, and the difference in aluminum content is only 0.01%. 1050 aluminium sheet is suitable for the manufacture of auto parts, lighting, hardware, signs, nameplates, molds, and household appliances industries.
1060 aluminum has excellent forming and processing characteristics, high corrosion resistance, excellent weldability and conductivity. 1060 aluminum plate Webster hardness value is about 30(Webster strength test data).

1060 is widely used in products that do not require high compressive strength, such as chemical equipment, metal sheet parts processing, deep drawing or stamping concave containers, welding parts, heat exchange fins,nameplates, kitchen utensils , decorations, reflective equipment, etc.

1100 aluminum sheet is industrial pure aluminum, which has the advantages of high elongation, tensile strength, excellent electrical conductivity, and high formability. It is usually used for components that require good formability, high corrosion resistance, and do not require high strength. 1100 aluminum plate is generally used in heat sinks, bottle caps, printing plates, cooking utensils, building materials, heat exchanger components, and can also be used as food and chemical handling and storage equipment, sheet metal products, and nameplates, deep-drawn products, etc. Welcome to leave message below to inquire what you need.
