ALF1462 ALUMINUM ALLOY 1100 Foil
1100 aluminum foil is an aluminum foil made of 99% pure aluminum, containing no more than 1% of other chemical elements. It has good formability, corrosion resistance, and is easy to process and shape.
Aluminum 1100 is among the softest aluminum alloys and, therefore, is not used for high-strength or high-pressure applications. Aluminum 1100 can also be welded. Aluminum 1100 is just one of several common aluminum alloys and is soft and low-strength. It cannot be hardened by heat treatment and is very formable.
Product Description
| Product | 1100 Aluminum foil |
|---|---|
| Temper | H18, O, H22, H24 |
| Thickness (mm) | 0.006 – 0.2 |
| Width (mm) | 100 – 1600 |
| Length (mm) | C |
| Aging | This material will not age, but can oxidize when left in an extremely damp environment and/or when exposed to extreme temperatures in both hot and cold environments. |
| Annealing | Annealing, which may be necessary after cold working. The material is heated to 650°F and then air-cooled. |
| ASTM Standards | B479 |
| Cold Working | This is an excellent alloy for cold working because of the good malleability in the annealed temper. It can easily be bent, drawn, or spun into a variety of applications. |
| Finish | Standard Finishes |
| Forging – Hot Working | Hot working can be conducted when needed. The alloy can be hot forged. |
| Forming – Welding | Forming either hot or cold is readily accomplished with this alloy. In the annealed condition, this alloy can be cold worked extensively without an intermediate anneal. Easily welded by all conventional methods. |
| Hardening | Hardens during cold working only. |
| Heat Treatment | This alloy does not respond to heat treatment other than to anneal the material into a soft or O Temper material. |
