Aluminium Sheet 1100, Grade : 19000

Principal Design Features

This alloy is commercially pure aluminum with excellent forming characteristics.

Applications

Commonly used in spun hollowware, fin stock, heat exchanger fins, dials and nameplates, cooking utensils, decorative parts, giftware, rivets and reflectors, and in sheet metal work.

Welding

Readily welded by all conventional methods. Use AL 1100 consumable electrodes and filler wire.

Forming

Forming, either hot or cold, is readily accomplished with this alloy. In the annealed condition the alloy can be cold worked extensively without an intermediate anneal.

Machinability

This alloy has very good machinability. Best results are obtained when machining is done with the alloy in hard temper. Carbide tooling is preferred, but high-speed steel tooling may also be used. For heavy cuts an oil lubricant should be used otherwise turning may be done dry.
