Aluminum 1100

Aluminum 1100 is a soft, non-heat-treatable, and low-strength alloy offering robust corrosion resistance. Comprising 99% aluminum and 0.12% copper, it stands as the purest commercial aluminum grade. Renowned for its exceptional machinability, it retains strength in low temperatures while displaying high electrical conductivity. Its versatility is evidenced across diverse sectors, including fin stock, heat exchanger fins, spun hollowware, dials and nameplates, giftware, shapes for engraving and stamping, lightweight tools, food containers, household foil, cooking utensils, rivets, and sheet metal work. Suitable for both hot and cold forming, it readily welds through conventional means. Meeting or surpassing several industry standards such as AMS, ASME, MIL-Spec, AWS, and SAE, Continental Steel offers Aluminum 1100 in various shapes and sizes like foil, plates, round bar, rods, sheets, strips, and wire. Chemical composition: Aluminum (99.0%), Copper (0.12%), Mechanical properties: Tensile Strength (ksi) – 13-18, Yield Strength (ksi) – ?5, Elongation (%) – ?25, Hardness (Brinell) – 32.
