Description
1100 Aluminum Sheet Manufacturer & Supplier
Hongyuan Aluminum is a China-based aluminum manufacturer supplying 1100 aluminum sheets for sheet metal fabrication, stamping, forming, chemical equipment and general industrial applications.
1100 aluminum is a commercially pure aluminum grade containing at least 99.0% aluminum. It offers excellent formability, good corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity and reliable workability.
As a non-heat-treatable aluminum grade, 1100 is particularly suitable for applications where forming performance and corrosion resistance are more important than high structural strength.
We support customized dimensions, tempers and processing requirements for international B2B customers.

1100 Aluminum Sheet Standards
1100 aluminum sheets can be supplied according to applicable material standards and agreed customer specifications.
Commonly referenced standards include:
- ASTM B209/B209M: Standard Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Sheet and Plate.
- EN 485, EN 573: Europe standard series for general industrial wrought aluminum and aluminum-alloy plates, sheets and strips.
For reference, see the official ASTM B209/B209M standard.
The applicable standard and edition should be confirmed before production. Chemical composition, dimensional tolerances, mechanical properties and inspection requirements must follow the agreed specifications.
1100 Aluminum Chemical Composition
Typical chemical composition limits of AA1100 aluminum, expressed as weight percentage:
| Element | Content (%) |
|---|---|
| Aluminum (Al) | ≥99.00 |
| Silicon + Iron (Si + Fe) | ≤0.95 |
| Copper (Cu) | 0.05–0.20 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤0.05 |
| Zinc (Zn) | ≤0.10 |
| Other Elements – Each | ≤0.05 |
| Other Elements – Total | ≤0.15 |
The combined silicon and iron limit is 0.95%, rather than a separate 0.95% limit for each element. Chemical composition requirements should be checked against the agreed material standard.
Key Features of 1100 Aluminum Sheet
1. Excellent Formability
1100 aluminum sheet offers excellent formability, particularly in soft tempers. It is suitable for bending, stamping, spinning and other forming processes.
2. Good Corrosion Resistance
1100 aluminum develops a natural protective oxide layer, providing good resistance to corrosion in many ordinary atmospheric environments.
3. Good Thermal Conductivity
Its thermal conductivity makes it suitable for selected heat-transfer components, insulation-related applications and industrial equipment.
4. Good Workability
1100 aluminum can be cut, bent, stamped and formed into different components. It is commonly selected for manufacturing processes requiring ductility.
5. Non-Heat-Treatable Alloy
1100 aluminum cannot be strengthened through precipitation heat treatment. Its strength can be increased through cold working.
1100 Aluminum Sheet Applications
1100 aluminum sheets are used in a wide range of industrial applications, including:
- Sheet metal fabrication and stamped components
- Chemical processing equipment and tanks
- Lighting reflectors and decorative panels
- Heat-transfer components
- Insulation cladding and protective coverings
- Signs and nameplates
- General industrial forming and bending
- Architectural and decorative components
Material selection should consider the final operating environment, required strength, thickness and processing conditions.
Common Tempers of 1100 Aluminum Sheet
| Temper | Characteristics | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| O | Annealed, soft, excellent formability | Deep forming and complex bending |
| H12 | Quarter-hard | Light fabrication and forming |
| H14 | Half-hard | General sheet metal fabrication |
| H16 | Three-quarter-hard | Components requiring higher rigidity |
| H18 | Full-hard | Relatively rigid sheet components |
| H24 | Strain-hardened and partially annealed, half-hard | General industrial fabrication |
The appropriate temper depends on the required mechanical properties, forming process and product thickness.
1100 Aluminum Sheet vs 1050 and 1060 Aluminum Sheet
1100, 1050 and 1060 are commercially pure aluminum grades. They share good corrosion resistance and formability, but differ in minimum aluminum purity and chemical composition.
| Property | 1100 | 1050 | 1060 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum Aluminum Content | 99.0% | 99.5% | 99.6% |
| Formability | Excellent | Excellent | Excellent |
| Corrosion Resistance | Good | Good | Good |
| Thermal Conductivity | Good | High | High |
| Typical Applications | Stamping, fabrication, chemical equipment | General forming and fabrication | Electrical and thermal applications |
1100 aluminum is commonly selected for general fabrication and forming applications, while 1050 and 1060 may be considered where higher aluminum purity is required.
The final choice should be based on material specifications, processing requirements and cost.
