ALUMINUM 1050 GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
What is aluminum 1050?
1050 aluminum alloy is a very common commercial purity alloy. 1050 aluminum has 99.50% minimum purity and the remaining 0.5% is made up of mostly iron and silicon. It was designated “Al99,5” in the earlier German DIN specifications. 1050 is a soft aluminum alloy that offers good electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as good general corrosion resistance. Aluminum 1050 a very popular material in many industries, and typically it is used in application where material’s strength is not important.
