Introduction of 1100 aluminum foil alloy

What is aluminum grade 1100?1100 aluminum foil is a high-purity aluminum alloy, which is the more common one among a series of aluminum alloys. “1100” indicates that the aluminum content of the aluminum foil accounts for the largest proportion of the total alloy composition, that is, the purity of the aluminum element in the aluminum alloy reaches more than 99%. As a result, 1100 aluminum foil is generally considered to be one of the purest aluminum foils, with high electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and excellent corrosion resistance, making it a versatile material well suited for use in a variety of environments.

Mechanical properties of 1100 aluminum foil

The mechanical performance of Huawei Aluminum is tested at a warm state (25°C), and the test performance is as follows.

Alloy properties of aluminum foil 1100

1100 aluminum foil is an aluminum alloy with a purity of up to 99%. Its main characteristics include the following five points:

1. Good corrosion resistance: 1100 aluminum foil has excellent corrosion resistance and can be used in many acidic and alkaline environments.
2. Excellent conductivity: 1100 aluminum foil is a good conductive material and can be used in many applications that require conductivity, such as battery separators.
3. Easy processing: 1100 aluminum foil has high plasticity and workability, and can be manufactured into various shapes by rolling, stretching and forming.
4. Lightweight: 1100 aluminum foil is lightweight, so it is widely used in the manufacture of lightweight products, such as aircraft, automobiles and packaging.
5. Excellent oxidation resistance: 1100 aluminum foil can maintain its mechanical properties and corrosion resistance in high temperature environments, and has high oxidation resistance.

How strong is 1100 aluminum foil?

Compared to many other aluminum alloys, 1100 aluminum is relatively soft and has a low tensile strength. The ultimate tensile strength of 1100 aluminum is typically around 13 ksi (90 MPa) depending on the temper, which is a measure of the strength and hardness of the material. However, 1100 aluminum is still strong enough for many applications, particularly those that do not require high strength but benefit from its other properties, such as its excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and conductivity.

What is the difference between aluminum 1100 and 1200?

Aluminum 1100 and 1200 are both pure aluminum alloys, meaning they are composed of at least 99% aluminum. However, there are some differences between them:

Chemical composition: The main difference between 1100 and 1200 aluminum is their chemical composition. 1100 aluminum has a minimum of 99.00% aluminum, while 1200 aluminum has a minimum of 99.00% aluminum and a maximum of 0.12% copper.

Strength: 1200 aluminum is slightly stronger than 1100 aluminum, with a higher ultimate tensile strength and yield strength. This is due to the small amount of copper in the alloy.

Formability: Both 1100 and 1200 aluminum have excellent formability and are highly malleable. However, 1200 aluminum may be slightly less formable than 1100 aluminum due to its higher strength.

Uses: Because of its high purity and excellent formability, 1100 aluminum is commonly used in applications such as food and beverage packaging, cookware, and decorative trim. 1200 aluminum is often used in electrical and chemical applications due to its higher strength and conductivity, as well as in reflectors and mirrors.
