Phehlukwayo Metal stands out as a top-notch manufacturer and supplier located in Cape Town, South Africa, with a focus on high-purity aluminium products, including Aluminium 1070 forgings. The company prides itself on delivering high-quality, precision-forged components tailored to meet the demands of various industries such as electrical, chemical processing, food handling, and general fabrication. With state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and rigorous quality controls, Phehlukwayo Metal guarantees consistent performance, outstanding surface finishes, and custom solutions to fit customer needs. Their Aluminium 1070 forgings are highly regarded for their purity, conductivity, and resistance to corrosion, making Phehlukwayo Metal a go-to partner for dependable and cost-effective aluminium solutions throughout South Africa and beyond.
Aluminium 1070 forgings consist of about 99.7% pure aluminium, with trace amounts of iron (maximum 0.25%) and silicon (maximum 0.20%). This high-purity aluminium alloy is celebrated for its remarkable electrical and thermal conductivity, exceptional corrosion resistance, and high ductility. While it has relatively low mechanical strength, with tensile strength ranging from 70 to 130 MPa and yield strength around 30 MPa depending on the temper, Aluminium 1070 also boasts good workability and weldability. This makes it ideal for applications where formability, conductivity, and chemical resistance take precedence over structural strength.

Aluminum 1070 is not ideal for high-temperature forging applications due to its relatively low melting point and limited strength at elevated temperatures. Alloys like 7075 or 2618 are better suited.
Aluminum 1070 offers excellent corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity, good formability, and high purity, making it ideal for custom forgings in applications requiring strength and durability with minimal impurities.
Aluminium 1070 forgings find their primary use in applications that require high electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and formability. This includes electrical and electronic components like bus bars, conductor rods, and transformer windings. The alloy is also extensively utilized in the chemical and food processing sectors for equipment such as storage tanks, piping, and containers, thanks to its non-toxic and non-reactive characteristics. In architectural and decorative applications, it is employed for its aesthetic appeal and functional benefits.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
