1100 Aluminum Coil
1100 Aluminum Alloy: The Ultimate Pure Aluminum for Forming & Finishing
Premium-Grade Commercial Pure Aluminum (99.0%)
1100 aluminum (UNS A91100) represents the most cost-effective pure aluminum solution, offering exceptional formability and surface finishing capabilities. With 99.0% minimum aluminum content, this alloy delivers superior corrosion resistance (0.015 mm/year in salt spray tests) 和 59% IACS conductivity – making it 15% more conductive than 3003 alloy while maintaining 35 MPa yield strength in annealed condition.
Key Advantages:
- Formability: 35% elongation in O-temper (ASTM B209)
- Surface Quality: Achieves Ra 0.4μm mirror finish
- Weldability: 95% joint efficiency with 1100 filler
- Cost Efficiency: 25% lower than 5052 alloy
