1000 series aluminum sheet

What is 1000 series aluminum sheet

The 1000 series aluminum sheet is a series of pure aluminum sheets. Its composition is mainly aluminum, with a content of more than 99%. 1000 series aluminum sheets generally have the characteristics of excellent processability, high electrical conductivity, good corrosion resistance and weldability.

1000 series aluminum sheet

1000 series aluminum sheets are generally soft aluminum and are not suitable for high-strength applications, but are suitable for applications that require corrosion resistance and conductivity, such as cables, wires, capacitor housings, kitchenware, decorative items, and chemical equipment, etc.

1000 series aluminum sheets have lower strength and hardness, but they can be cold worked (such as rolling, drawing and extruding) to increase their strength and hardness while still maintaining the high machinability of aluminum.

Common grades of 1000 series aluminum sheets include 1050, 1060, 1070, 1100 aluminum sheet, 1200, 1235, 1350, etc. Each grade has different aluminum purity and performance.

Since the 1000 series aluminum sheets do not contain other technical elements, the production process is relatively simple and the price is relatively cheap. It is currently the most common series in conventional industries.

1000 series aluminum sheet alloy grade naming rules

The minimum aluminum content of the 1000 series aluminum sheet is determined based on the last two Arabic numerals of the series. For example, the last two Arabic numerals of the 1050 series are 50. According to the international brand naming principles, the aluminum content must reach more than 99.5% to be a qualified product. my country’s aluminum alloy technical standards (gb/t3880-2006) also clearly stipulate that the aluminum content of 1050 reaches 99.5%. For the same reason, the aluminum content of 1060 aluminum sheet must reach above 99.6.

Characteristics of 1000 series aluminum sheets

• 1. The aluminum content is relatively high, reaching more than 99%
• 2. Soft, not suitable for high-intensity applications
• 3. Good electrical conductivity, suitable for conductive applications
• 4. Strong corrosion resistance, an oxide layer is formed on the surface, which has high corrosion resistance.
• 5. Not heat treatable. 1000 series aluminum sheets cannot be heat treated, but can be hardened by cold working.
• 6. The production process is relatively simple and the price is relatively cheap.

Common sizes of 1000 series aluminum sheet

• 1000x2000mm aluminum sheet
• 4c8 aluminum sheet
• 1250x2500mm aluminum sheet
• 1500x2000mm aluminum sheet
• 1500x3000mm aluminum sheet
• 2000x3000mm aluminum sheet

The size of the aluminum sheet can be customized according to customer needs, the width range is 20-2650, and the length is not limited.

These specifications and dimensions are suitable for aluminum sheet products in the fields of construction, decoration, electronics, etc., such as aluminum doors and windows, aluminum curtain walls, aluminum alloy capacitors, etc.

Commonly used thicknesses

0.5mm thickness aluminum sheet	0.8mm thickness aluminum sheet	1mm thickness aluminum sheet

Notes

• 1. The surface of the aluminum sheet must be smooth and flat, without defects such as unevenness and scratches.
• 2. The thickness of the aluminum sheet should be determined according to the specific application scenario. Too thick or too thin will affect the use effect.
• 3. The processing of aluminum sheets is difficult and requires professional processing equipment and technology.
• 4. When maintaining aluminum sheets, pay attention to preventing collisions, scratches, etc. to avoid damage to the surface of the aluminum sheets.
