High Strength 1050  aluminum Sheet / Plate

1050 aluminum can not be heat-treated and can be strengthened by cold deformation. The only heat treatment is annealing. The recrystallization starting temperature is related to the impurity content and deformation degree, generally around 200 ®C. The annealed sheet has σb = 80 to 100 MPa, σ 0.2 = 30 to 50 MPa, ζ = 35% to 40%, and HB = 25 to 30. After 60% to 80% cold deformation, although the chaos can be increased to 150 ~ 180MPa, but the devaluation has dropped to 1% ~ 1.5%. Increasing the iron and silicon impurity content can increase the strength but reduce the plasticity, electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Use of 1050 Aluminum:
1050 aluminum often used in daily necessities, lighting equipment, reflectors, decorations, chemical industry containers, heat sinks, signs, electronics, lamps, nameplates, electrical appliances, stampings and other products. In some cases where high corrosion resistance and formability are required, but the strength is not high, chemical equipment is a typical use.
