Introduction to 1100 Aluminum Coil
1100 Aluminum Coil is a versatile and widely used product due to its excellent formability, versatility, and workability. Suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, from decorative items and electronics to food and beverage containers, this high-quality aluminum product is a staple in the manufacturing industry.
Composition and Alloy Characteristics
The 1100 aluminum coil is a relatively pure aluminum alloy in commercial, containing at least 99.0% pure aluminum. This purity gives the alloy its distinct characteristics:
- Excellent Formability: Known for being very soft in annealed conditions, it’s ideal for manufacturing applications involving multiple forming processes.
- Cold Work Hardenability: While it cannot be heat treated, the 1100 Aluminum can be hardened through cold working to increase hardness and strength.
- Thermal and Electrical Conductivity: Exhibits excellent conductivity, making it suitable for heat exchanger components in electronic devices.
- Good Corrosion Resistance: This feature makes it ideal for weather-resistant structures and components.
Common Tempers
The common tempers of 1100 Aluminum Coil include:
Each temper has specific applications and properties that suit different industrial needs.
Advantages and Disadvantages
1100 Aluminum Coil offers a range of advantages:
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance
- High Electrical Conductivity
- Outstanding Formability
- Exceptional Machinability and Weldability
Despite its many advantages, the 1100 Aluminum Coil is not suitable for high-strength or high-pressure applications due to its low tensile strength and softness.
Applications
The 1100 Aluminum Coil finds use in various industries:
- Cookware
- Heat Exchangers
- Industrial Components
- Manufacturing
Each application leverages the unique properties of the 1100 Aluminum Coil.
