Do You Know The Type Of 1000 Series Aluminum Sheet?
1000 series aluminum sheet plate is the highest purity aluminum sheet among the 1000-8000 series aluminum alloy. Therefore, it’s also known as pure aluminum. Moreover, we also call the sheet chemically and commercially pure aluminum.
Types of 1000 Series Aluminum Sheet
About the types of 1000 series aluminum sheet, we can according to the aluminum content to sort. Taking the most common grades of 1000 series aluminum sheet as example.
Grade 1050: 1050 aluminum sheet contains more than 99.5% aluminum. It’s the leading product in 1000 series aluminum sheet products. And the produce workmanship of 1050 aluminum plate is very skillful and stable, so it has a bright future in the market. 1050 aluminum sheet has the characteristics of high plasticity, corrosion resistance, good electrical and thermal conductivity.
It’s often widely used in some cases where require high corrosion resistance and form-ability. Therefore it’s mainly applicable in chemical equipment like reflectors, decorations, heat dissipation sheets, signs, electrical appliances, stamping parts and other products.
Grade 1060: 1060 aluminum sheet is similar to1050 aluminum sheet. It contains more than 99.6% aluminum, compared with other aluminum sheet, its production process and technology are relatively simple and mature. The sheet has features like high elongation and superior tensile strength, which can meet the requirements of stamping and stretching processing. 1060 aluminum plate is very suitable for products that don’t require high strength such as signboards, billboards, building exterior decoration, bus bodies, high-rise and factory wall decoration and so on.
Grade 1100: The aluminum content of the 1100 aluminum plate reaches 99.00%. A special point is that its properties cannot be enhanced by heat treatment. And as a basic panel, we can produce various aluminum materials by press processing 1100 aluminum plate. It has excellent ductility, form-ability, weld-ability and corrosion resistance. 1100 aluminum plate is mainly apply on various fields from cookware to industrial equipment. In addition, it’s generally suitable for making utensils, heat sinks, bottle caps, printing boards, building materials, etc.
In summarize, each grade in the 1000 series aluminum sheet contains at least 99% pure aluminum. This high aluminum content makes these sheets has high electrical and thermal conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance and excellent machine-ability. All the 1000 series aluminum sheet play an important role in the field of chemical and electrical equipment.
