1100 Aluminum Sheet for Sale: Ìrean, Meudan agus Stiùireadh Ceannaiche

Ro-ràdh

1100 aluminum sheet is one of the most practical commercially pure aluminum plates you can buy: with a minimum 99.0% aluminum content and a small copper addition, it is slightly stronger than 1050/1060 while keeping excellent formability, strì an aghaidh creimeadh, weldability and thermal conductivity.

It is the default sheet for chemical equipment, cookware and deep-drawn parts, Sinks teas, signs and general fabrication that do not need high strength.

Offered factory-direct, 1100 sheet can be supplied in standard 4×8 ft and metric sizes or cut to your dimensions, with the temper and surface finish the product needs.

This guide covers the composition, feartan, sizes and weights, iarrtasan, Sàbadaireachd, how it compares with 1050, 1060 agus 3003, agus mar a nì thu òrdugh.

Na th’ann 1100 Duilleag Aluminium?

1100 is a non-heat-treatable 1xxx-series alloy strengthened only by cold work and softened by annealing. Sheet generally runs about 0.2–6 mm thick (thicker material is plate), supplied flat or cut to length. Its characteristic advantages are:

  • Excellent ductility for bending, stampadh, spinning and deep drawing, especially in the O temper.
  • Very good atmospheric and chemical corrosion resistance from the self-healing oxide film.
  • Neart beagan nas àirde na 1050/1060 thanks to a controlled 0.05–0.20% copper addition.
  • High thermal and electrical conductivity, plus excellent weldability and easy machining.
  • Solas (mu dheidhinn 2.71 g/cm³), rust-free and lower cost than alloyed grades; anodizes to a good film.
  • The trade-off is modest strength; load-bearing or wear parts should use 3003, 5052 no 6061.

Co-dhèanamh ceimigeach agus feartan meacanaigeach

The controlled chemistry (per ASTM B209 / Gb / t 3190) keeps silicon plus iron and copper within tight limits so forming, welding and corrosion performance stay high:

Eileamaid Al Agus + Fe Cu Mn Zn
1100 ≥99.0 ≤0.95 0.05-0.20 ≤0.05 ≤0.10

 

Mechanical properties change with temper, so the same 1100 sheet can be supplied soft and deep-drawable or hard and rigid (typical Rm values):

Teòthachd Teanntachd (MPa) Caractar
O (Gabh ris) Mu thuairmse. 75—110 Nas buige; dealbh domhainn, snìomh, cruth-clò as àirde
H12 / H22 Mu thuairmse. 95–125 Quarter-hard; light forming
H14 / H24 Mu thuairmse. 110—150 leth-chruaidh; common general-purpose temper
H16 / H26 Mu thuairmse. 135—170 Three-quarter-hard; stiffer panels
H18 Mu thuairmse. 150—200 Làn-chruaidh; rigid, limited forming

 

Values vary slightly with thickness and standard; confirm tensile and yield on the mill certificate for your gauge.

The small copper addition is what distinguishes 1100 in service.

It gives a modest but useful gain in strength without sacrificing the pure-aluminum forming that lets the sheet be drawn into deep pots and liners, and the metal still anodizes into a uniform, protective film used on trim and nameplates.

1100 thus occupies a deliberate middle ground—not as soft and conductive as 1060, but not as alloyed as 3003, which is why it appears so often in cookware, chemical and general-purpose stock.

Standard Sizes, Surfaces and Weight

1100 sheet is produced from about 0.2 gu 6 mm (plate to 200 mm+ on request), in widths up to roughly 2600 mm and lengths to 12,000 mm. Common sizes include 4×8 ft (1219×2438), 1000×2000, 1220×2440, 1250×2500 and 1500×3000, plus custom blanks to drawing.

Fabrication and Surface Treatment

1100 cuts, shears, bends and forms readily and can be laser, plasma or water-jet cut, air a stampadh, spun and drilled; it welds cleanly by common processes and takes anodizing, bruthadh, polishing and coating well.

Use O temper for the deepest draws and harder tempers where the finished part must hold shape; generous bend radii and clean, oil-free surfaces help on high-speed lines.

Verify new material on production-gauge samples rather than photos: run the sheet through your forming, welding or cutting line at normal speed, tomhas tiugh thairis air an leud, inspect the surface and, for food or chemical use, confirm the compliance paperwork matches the lot.

A signed pre-production sample then becomes the receiving standard, and an integrated mill that rolls and finishes in-house will hold that standard more reliably across repeat orders than spot resellers.
