Aluminium Alloy 1050 combines high purity, excellent formability, good corrosion resistance and high electrical and thermal conductivity, making it suitable for a wide range of general industrial applications.
Contains a minimum aluminium content of approximately 99.5%, making it suitable for commercially pure aluminium applications.
High ductility allows Aluminium 1050 to be readily formed, bent, rolled and fabricated.
Provides good general resistance to atmospheric corrosion and many common environmental conditions.
High conductivity makes the alloy useful for electrical and heat-transfer applications.
Aluminium Alloy 1050 is selected where high purity, formability, corrosion resistance and electrical or thermal conductivity are important.
Used for electrical conductors, busbars and other components requiring high electrical conductivity.
Used for selected heat-transfer components where good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance are required.
Suitable for selected chemical and process equipment requiring corrosion resistance and good formability.
Widely suitable for formed sheet, strip, fabricated components and general-purpose aluminium applications.
Consider the required temper, product form, thickness and service environment when selecting Aluminium Alloy 1050.
Alloy 1050 provides excellent ductility and formability and is particularly suitable for bending, rolling and formed sheet applications.
Aluminium Alloy 1050 is not intended for high-strength applications. Higher strength aluminium alloys should be considered where elevated mechanical strength is required.
The commonly listed Werkstoff / EN cross-reference for Aluminium Alloy 1050 is 3.0255. Treat this as a grade comparison, not a guarantee of interchangeability. Verify chemistry, product form, condition and governing specification against the supplier certificate before substitution.
No. Aluminium Alloy 1050 is a non-heat-treatable aluminium alloy. Its strength can be increased through cold working and temper selection.
Yes. Aluminium Alloy 1050 generally provides good resistance to atmospheric corrosion and many general service environments.
