1000 series aluminum is regarded as commercially pure aluminum. It contains a minimum of 99% aluminum with relatively no alloying additions.
1000 series aluminum is non-heat treatable, but this material exhibits high electrical and thermal conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance and excellent workability.
1000 series aluminum sheet contains 1050 aluminum sheet, 1060 aluminum sheet, 1100 aluminum sheet, 1200 aluminum sheet, 1350 aluminum sheet, etc.
The 1000 series aluminum sheet generally has the characteristics of excellent machinability, high electrical conductivity, good corrosion resistance and weldability.
1000-series aluminum sheet is generally soft aluminum and is not suitable for high-strength applications, but is suitable for applications requiring corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity, such as cables, wires, capacitor housings, kitchen utensils, decorative items, and chemical equipment. The 1000-series aluminum has lower strength and hardness, but they can be increased in strength and hardness by cold working such as rolling, drawing, and extrusion, while still maintaining aluminum’s high machinability.

1000 series aluminum alloy is non-heat treatable aluminum, common tempers are:
O, H12, H14, H16, H18, H22, H24, H26, H28, H112
Among all series of aluminum alloys, the 1000 series belongs to the series with the most aluminum content. The purity reaches 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.
At present, most of the aluminum alloys circulating in the market are 1050, 1060 and 1100 aluminum alloys.
The minimum aluminum content of the 1000 series aluminum plate is determined according to the last two Arabic numerals. For example, the last two Arabic numerals of the 1050 series are 50. According to the international brand naming principle, the aluminum content must reach 99.5% or more to qualify as a product.
Our country’s aluminum alloy technical standard (gB/T3880-2006) also clearly stipulates that the aluminum content of 1050 should reach 99.5%. In the same way, the aluminum content of 1060 series aluminum plates must reach more than 99.6%.
Alloy 1050 is known for its good corrosion resistance, formability, weldability, ductility and highly reflective surface. This is a popular grade for general sheet metal working where moderate strength is required.
Alloy 1050 is commonly used in food industry containers, building flashings, cable sheathing and chemical processing plant equipment.
Alloy 1060 is a relatively low strength, high purity alloy with a minimum aluminum content of 99.6%. It is known for its excellent welding characteristics and formability as well as good corrosion resistance.
It has excellent formability by cold or hot working by commercial techniques and can be welded by standard commercial methods. Chemical equipment is its typical use.
Alloy 1100 adds a small amount of silicon, iron and copper to increase its strength, and its strength is slightly higher than that of 1060. It is used for processing parts that require good formability and high corrosion resistance but do not require high strength
Such as chemical products, food Industrial equipment and storage containers, thin plate processing parts, deep drawing or spinning concave vessels, welding parts, heat exchangers, printing plates, nameplates, reflective appliances.
Alloy 1350 is mainly used for electrical conductors, and the -H111 state exhibits the highest electrical conductivity among all extruded aluminum conductor grades, reaching or exceeding 61.0% IACS, and is often used in wires, conductive strands, busbars, and transformer strips.
The purpose of melting and casting is to produce alloys with satisfactory composition and high purity of melt, so as to create favorable conditions for casting alloys of various shapes.
Melting and casting process steps: batching --- feeding --- melting --- stirring after melting, slag removal --- pre-analysis sampling --- adding alloy to adjust the composition, stirring --- refining --- static Setting——Guide furnace casting.
Casting and rolling process: liquid metal, front box (liquid level control), casting and rolling machine (lubrication system, cooling water), shearing machine, coiling machine.
Aluminum alloy has the characteristics of low density, good mechanical properties, good processing performance, non-toxic, easy to recycle, excellent electrical conductivity, heat transfer and corrosion resistance, so it has a wide range of applications.
