1050 aluminum coil is an aluminum-based alloy in the “commercially pure” wrought family (1000 or 1xxx series). It has the characteristics of high plasticity, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity. Since 1050 aluminum alloy has a higher thermal conductivity than other alloys. It has low mechanical strength compared to more significantly alloyed metals. It can be strengthened by cold working, but not by heat treatment. The production process is relatively simple and the price is relatively cheap. It is the most commonly used series in the conventional industry.1050 aluminum coil belongs to the commercially pure wrought 1000 series alloy family with a purity of 99.5% Al. So, aluminum coil properties show excellent ductility, plasticity, corrosion resistance, and high electrical and thermal conductivity. In addition, it is also a non-heat treatment alloy with low strength, which heat treatment can not strengthen this alloy. It has weak properties but can accept contact welding and gas welding. Currently, since the production process of 1000 Series alloy coil such as aluminum coil is relatively simple and the technology is quite mature, the highly economical aluminum coil is very suitable for large-scale application in the field of industrial manufacturing.
Characteristics
1. Low density, good electrical and thermal conductivity. Good corrosion resistance and good plastic processing performance
2. It can be used for gas welding, argon arc welding and spot welding.
3. It cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. Cold deformation can increase its strength. The only form of heat treatment is annealing.
4. Long service life. It has a high recycling value.
5. The manufacturing process is mature and easy to mass-produce. Its price is lower than many other aluminum alloys.
1050 Aluminum Coil Processing Technology
Heat treatment process: oil quenching and tempering. The strength of this kind of wire is not as good as that of a lead bath, but the performance is uniform and the cost is lower. After cold coil forming, stress relief is carried out. Pull to specified size, and then annealing. After softening, the mechanical properties can be obtained only after quenching and tempering at medium temperature.
Advantages of The 1050 Aluminum Coil
High strength
Resistant high mechanical stresses
Resistant to high temperature
Good formality
Long life, and lower cost, but also has a high recovery value
High plasticity
Applications of 1050 Aluminum Coil
1050 aluminum coils are often used in daily necessities, lighting fixtures, reflectors, decorations, chemical industrial containers, heat sinks, signs, electronics, lamps, nameplates, electrical appliances, stampings, and other products. In some cases where high corrosion resistance and formability are required, but the strength is not high, chemical equipment is a typical use.
