Description

Aluminum Alloy AA1100 is a commercially pure aluminum grade. It is soft and ductile with excellent workability. Ideal for applications involving intricate forming because it work-hardens more slowly than other alloys. It has the highest thermal conductivity of any aluminum alloy and its electrical conductivity is second only to the electrical conductor grade.

Aluminum 1100 is among the softest aluminum alloys and therefore is not used for high-strength or high-pressure applications. Though it is often cold-worked, pure aluminum can be hot-worked as well, but more frequently, aluminum is shaped by spinning, stamping and drawing processes, none of which require the use of high heat.
