1100 Ishidi Le-Aluminium Liyathengiswa: Amabanga, Osayizi kanye Nomhlahlandlela Womthengi
Ukuqalisa
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, ukumelana nokugqwala, weldability and thermal conductivity.
It is the default sheet for chemical equipment, cookware and deep-drawn parts, amasinki okushisa, 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, izakhiwo, sizes and weights, izicelo, into engekho, iqhathaniswa kanjani ne 1050, 1060 futhi 3003, nendlela yoku-oda.

Yini? 1100 Ishidi le-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. Izinzuzo zayo sici kukhona:
- I-ductility enhle kakhulu yokugoba, -dumile, ukuphotha nokudweba okujulile, ikakhulukazi ku-O intukuthelo.
- Very good atmospheric and chemical corrosion resistance from the self-healing oxide film.
- Amandla aphakeme kancane kunawo 1050/1060 thanks to a controlled 0.05–0.20% copper addition.
- High thermal and electrical conductivity, plus excellent weldability and easy machining.
- Ukukhanya (maqondana 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 noma 6061.
Ukubunjwa Kwamakhemikhali kanye Nezakhiwo Zemishini
Ikhemistri elawulwayo (per ASTM B209 / GB / t 3190) keeps silicon plus iron and copper within tight limits so forming, welding and corrosion performance stay high:
| Isici | Al | Futhi + Fe | Cu | UMn | Zn |
| 1100 | ≥99.0 | ≤0.95 | 0.05–0.20 | ≤0.05 | ≤0.10 |
Mechanical properties change with temper, kanjalo okufanayo 1100 ishidi linganikezwa lithambile futhi lijule ukudonsa noma liqinile futhi liqinile (typical Rm values):
| Ulaka | -The ngqi (I-MPa) | Umlingiswa |
| O (-bothalekiwe) | nisalisa. 75-110 | Ithambile kakhulu; umdwebo ojulile, ukuphotha, ukwakheka okuphezulu |
| H12 / H22 | nisalisa. 95–125 | Ikota-kanzima; ukwakha ukukhanya |
| H14 / H24 | nisalisa. 110-150 | Half-hard; common general-purpose temper |
| H16 / H26 | nisalisa. 135-170 | Ingxenye yesithathu-kanzima; amaphaneli aqinile |
| H18 | nisalisa. 150-200 | Okugcwele-kakhulu; qina, ukwakheka okulinganiselwe |
Amanani ayahluka kancane ngokujiya nokujwayelekile; 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.
Osayizi Abajwayelekile, Ubuso Nesisindo
1100 ishidi likhiqizwa cishe 0.2 ku 6 mm (ipuleti ku 200 mm+ ngesicelo), ngobubanzi kuze kube cishe 2600 mm nobude ku 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.
| Ubuso / pheza | Ukusetshenziswa okuvamile |
| Mill Qeda (optional PVC/PVDF protective film) | Ishidi elijwayelekile, isitokwe sokukhiqiza, udoti |
| Ibhulashi / isibuko | Amaphaneli okuhlobisa, amagama, ukukhantheka |
| -Nelihlulelo / ezinemibala | Chemical and outdoor panels, durable signage, qoma |
| Igcizelelwe / circles | I-Insulation, anti-slip, cookware discs and deep-drawn parts |
Weight is easy at 2.71 g/cm³: kg ngem² = ukujiya (mm) × 2.71; a 4×8 ft sheet covers about 2.972 m².
| Ubukhulu | kg/m² | Isisindo ngeshidi elingu-4×8 |
| 0.5 mm | 1.36 | nisalisa. 4.0 uhlobo |
| 1.0 mm | 2.71 | nisalisa. 8.1 uhlobo |
| 1.5 mm | 4.07 | nisalisa. 12.1 uhlobo |
| 2.0 mm | 5.42 | nisalisa. 16.1 uhlobo |

Izicelo ezijwayelekile
- Imishini yenqubo yamakhemikhali, Amathangi wokugcina, izitsha, pipes and fittings that need corrosion resistance and weldability.
- Ikhokhere, cooking utensils and deep-drawn or spun parts, plus aluminum circles for pots and pans.
- Amasinki okushisa, izibonisi zesibani, isitokwe sebhodlela, printing plates and food packaging components.
- Izimpawu, 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, -xtsheliwe, spun and drilled; it welds cleanly by common processes and takes anodizing, ukuxubha, 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 futhi 3003
| Khuphuka | Uku. Al / ukubusa | Amandla | Ukulingana okuhle kakhulu |
| 1050 | 99.50% Al | -Ehlile | Most economical general sheet and cladding |
| 1060 | 99.60% Al | -Ehlile | Best conductivity/reflectivity; signs and electrical parts |
| 1100 | 99.00% Al, kancane Cu | Okuphansi-okumaphakathi | Inamandla kancane; akha imali, ukushisela, amakhemikhali, ikhokhere |
| 3003 | Al + UMn (maqondana 1.2%) | Okuphakathi | Maqondana 20% -namandla; phansi, tread, tougher cladding |
Qoka 1100 when you need a little more strength and weldability than 1050/1060 with the same pure-aluminum forming and corrosion; khuphuka uze 3003 for real added strength.
Ikhwalithi yokulawula, Pricing and How to Order
QC covers thickness and flatness, ububanzi/ubude nokubekezelelana kwe-diagonal, surface quality and tensile/yield by temper and chemistry on the MTC; ISO 9001 mills support SGS/BV inspection.
Sheet is interleaved with protective film and packed on pallets or in cases with moisture-proof wrapping for export. Intengo ilandela isisekelo se-aluminium ingot kanye nenkokhelo yokucubungula, with thinner/wider gauge, ukusika ngokwezifiso, ukwelashwa okungaphezulu kanye nenani elincane elengeza izindleko;
compare per ton and per finished blank on identical specs under FOB/CFR/CIF (ngokuvamile 30% idiphozi, ibhalansi ngokumelene ne-bill of lading). Ukucaphuna, thumela ingxubevange/intukuthelo (1100), ukujiya, ishidi noma izilinganiso ezingenalutho, phezulu, ubuningi, isicelo kanye nembobo okuyiwa kuyo.
Verify new material on production-gauge samples rather than photos: run the sheet through your forming, welding or cutting line at normal speed, kala ukujiya kobubanzi, 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.
