Aluminum 1100 is a soft, non-heat-treatable and low strength alloy that offers strong corrosion resistance. Composed of 99% aluminum and 0.12% copper, Aluminum 1100 is purest grade of aluminum alloy available commercially. A highly sought after alloy, Aluminum 1100 offers excellent machinability as well as maintaining strength in low temperatures and electrical conductivity. Aluminum 1100 is a commercially pure aluminum.
1100 has excellent welding characteristics; it is also soft and ductile so is ideal for applications that require intricate forming as it work hardens slower than other alloys. 1100 is however non-heat treatable. As 1100 has excellent resistance to corrosion it is widely used in the chemical and food processing industries also for giftware and applications where eye appeal is important.
