1000 Series Pure Aluminum Features
1xxx series aluminum alloy
1xxx series Aluminum Alloy (1000 series aluminum) is a common series in the aluminum alloy, and also the pure aluminum, and the more common aluminum used grade is aluminum 1050,1060,1100, etc. For example, aluminum 1050, means, the aluminum content is more than 99.5%, and aluminum 1060, means the aluminum content is more than 99.6%. Below i wil list the features and general application of 1000 series aluminum alloy in this field.
A) Features of 1xxx series aluminum alloy:
1. Aluminum density is 2.7kg/cm3, and it is lighter than other metal, and only 35% of comparing with iron or steel.
2. This series are produced very easily with single process and mature technology, so the price has a relative advantage over other series aluminum alloy.
3. Aluminum 1000 series are with good elonation, and tensile strength, and have the ability of processing, like pressing, stretching and also with high plasticity, water corrosion resistance, and electrical & thermal conductivity like sliver, copper.
4. The surface of aluminum 1xxx is silver-white luster. After pressing, it can achieve high finish and brightness. They can be also anodized and colored, you can get colorful parts.
