1100 Aluminum Sheet for Sale: Grades, Sizes and Buyer’s Guide

Chiyambi

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, kukana dzimbiri, weldability and thermal conductivity.

It is the default sheet for chemical equipment, cookware and deep-drawn parts, kutentha kumamira, 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, katundu, sizes and weights, mapulogalamu, nsanje, how it compares with 1050, 1060 ndi 3003, and how to order.

Kodi Ndi Chiyani 1100 Mapepala a 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, kukakamiza, spinning and deep drawing, especially in the O temper.
• Very good atmospheric and chemical corrosion resistance from the self-healing oxide film.
• Pang'ono mphamvu kuposa 1050/1060 thanks to a controlled 0.05–0.20% copper addition.
• High thermal and electrical conductivity, plus excellent weldability and easy machining.
• Kuwala (za 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 kapena 6061.

Mapangidwe a Chemical ndi Mechanical Properties

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:

Chinthu	Al	Ndipo + Fe	Ku	Mn	Zn
1100	≥999.0	≤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):

Kupsya mtima	Kukhala (MPa)	Khalidwe
O (oyimilira)	pafupi. 75-110	Chofewa kwambiri; Zojambula Zakukulu, kupota, pazipita formability
H12 / H22	pafupi. 95–125	Quarter-hard; light forming
H14 / H24	pafupi. 110-150	Theka-zovuta; common general-purpose temper
H16 / H26	pafupi. 135-170	Three-quarter-hard; stiffer panels
H18	pafupi. 150-200	Zonse-zolimba; 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 ku 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.

Pamwamba / miliza	Kugwiritsa ntchito mwachizolowezi
Malizani kumaliza (optional PVC/PVDF protective film)	General sheet, fabrication stock, kuomba
Wotsukidwa / galasi	Decorative panels, kalembedwe, kuyatsa
Anakonza / color-coated	Chemical and outdoor panels, durable signage, chepetsa
Zojambulidwa / circles	Insulation, anti-slip, cookware discs and deep-drawn parts

 

Weight is easy at 2.71 g/cm³: kg per m² = thickness (mm) × 2.71; a 4×8 ft sheet covers about 2.972 m².

Makulidwe	kg/m²	Kulemera kwa pepala 4 × 8
0.5 mm	1.36	pafupi. 4.0 kg
1.0 mm	2.71	pafupi. 8.1 kg

2.0 mm	5.42	pafupi. 16.1 kg
3.0 mm	8.13	pafupi. 24.2 kg

Ntchito Zofananira

• Chemical process equipment, akasinja osungira, vessels, pipes and fittings that need corrosion resistance and weldability.
• Cookwanya, cooking utensils and deep-drawn or spun parts, plus aluminum circles for pots and pans.
• Kutentha kumira, lamp reflectors, katundu wa botolo, printing plates and food packaging components.
• Signs, nameplates and decorative or anodized architectural trim, and general stamped or bent parts.

Fabrication and Surface Treatment

1100 cuts, shears, bends and forms readily and can be laser, plasma or water-jet cut, atasungidwa, spun and drilled; it welds cleanly by common processes and takes anodizing, kutsuka, 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.

1100 vs 1050, 1060 ndi 3003

Giledi	Min. Al / alloying	Mphamvu	Best fit
1050	99.50% Al	Pansi	Most economical general sheet and cladding
1060	99.60% Al	Pansi	Best conductivity/reflectivity; signs and electrical parts
1100	99.00% Al, a little Cu	Low-medium	Zolimba pang'ono; kupanga, kuwotcherera, mankhwala, cookwanya
3003	Al + Mn (za 1.2%)	Wapakati	Za 20% wamphamvu; pansi, tread, tougher cladding

 

Sankha 1100 when you need a little more strength and weldability than 1050/1060 with the same pure-aluminum forming and corrosion; step up to 3003 for real added strength.

Verify new material on production-gauge samples rather than photos: run the sheet through your forming, welding or cutting line at normal speed, measure thickness across the width, 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.

Nthawi zambiri mafunso

Q: Ndi chiyani 1100 Masamba a aluminium omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito?

Q: Can it be welded, anodized and cut to size?

A: Yes—1100 welds cleanly, anodizes and finishes well, and can be laser or sawn cut, bent and supplied as custom blanks with protective film.

Q: How much does a 4×8 sheet weigh?

A: Pafupifupi 8.1 kg ku 1 mm, 12.1 kg ku 1.5 mm, 16.1 kg ku 2 mm ndi 24.2 kg ku 3 mm, using kg/m² = thickness (mm) × 2.71 chatha 2.972 m².

Mapeto

1100 aluminum sheet is the slightly stronger, easy-to-fabricate pure-aluminum plate for chemical equipment, cookwanya, heat transfer and signs.

Specify the temper from how the panel is processed, fix thickness and cut size, choose the surface, and buy on mill certificates, tolerances and approved samples rather than price alone.
