The 1000 series of aluminum alloys primarily consists of commercially pure aluminum, with minor alloying elements added to improve certain properties. The most common alloy in the 1000 series is 1100, which is often used in various applications due to its excellent corrosion resistance, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and good workability.
Some common alloys in the 1000 series of aluminum coils include:
- 1100: This alloy is typically composed of 99.00% aluminum (Al) with small amounts of copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and other trace elements.
- 1050: This alloy is similar to 1100, with a minimum aluminum content of 99.50% and small amounts of other elements.
- 1060: This alloy is similar to 1100 and 1050, with a minimum aluminum content of 99.60% and minor alloying elements.
Note that the exact composition of aluminum coils in the 1000 series may vary depending on the specific requirements of the application and the manufacturer’s specifications. It’s always important to refer to the manufacturer’s documentation or consult with a qualified metallurgist for accurate and up-to-date information on alloy composition.
