Aluminum 1100
Nominal Chemical
Composition
INTRODUCTION
Aufhauser Aluminum 1100 is highly resistant to chemical attack and weathering. It is a relatively soft alloy that is very formable and is used extensively in thin gauge and foil products. It has good welding characteristics and is also used as a filler alloy for welding purposes. A desirable characteristic of the alloy is the bright finishes obtained by anodizing.
APPLICATIONS
- Welding filler wire
- Rivets
- Heat exchangers
- Tie wire
- Food handling equipment
- Metallizing
GENERAL INFORMATION
- Non-Heat treatable
- Principle alloying elements: Copper
- ISO designation: AI99.0 Cu
