1050 h14 aluminum sheets per price
1050 aluminum alloy is an aluminum-based alloy in the "commercially pure" wrought family (1000 or 1xxx series). As a wrought alloy, it is not used in castings. Instead, it is usually formed by extrusion or rolling. It is commonly used in the electrical and chemical industries, on account of having high electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and workability. 1050 alloy is also sometimes used for the manufacture of heat sinks, since it 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.
1050 is the Aluminum Association (AA) designation for this material. In European standards, it will be given as EN AW-1050. A91050 is the UNS number. Additionally, the EN chemical designation is Al99,5.
Alloy Composition
Among wrought aluminum alloys, the composition of 1050 aluminum is notable for including vanadium (V). Vanadium is used to reduce grain size and increase recrystallization temperature.
