Aluminium 1050 is a commercially pure, non-heat-treatable alloy with at least 99.5% aluminium content. It boasts excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in industrial and marine settings. With a typical tensile strength ranging from 85 to 120 MPa and a yield strength of about 30 to 50 MPa, it may be relatively soft, but it’s highly formable. This alloy also features outstanding thermal and electrical conductivity and is easy to weld and process. While it may not have high mechanical strength, Aluminium 1050 is often the go-to choice for applications where purity, conductivity, and corrosion resistance take precedence over strength.
