Phehlukwayo Metal, located in Cape Town, South Africa, is a reliable manufacturer and supplier that specializes in high-purity aluminium forgings, particularly Aluminium 1100 forgings. They cater to a variety of industries, including chemical processing, food manufacturing, electrical, and general engineering. The company is dedicated to providing components that are precise, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion. Thanks to their advanced forging techniques and strict quality controls, Phehlukwayo Metal guarantees that their Aluminium 1100 forgings not only meet customer specifications but also adhere to international standards. Renowned for their excellent workability and surface finish, these forgings deliver dependable performance in applications where corrosion resistance and formability are crucial.
Aluminium 1100 forgings are made up of about 99% pure aluminium, with just a few traces of copper, iron, silicon, manganese, and zinc. This commercially pure aluminium alloy is known for its outstanding corrosion resistance, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and remarkable workability. Typically, the mechanical properties include a tensile strength of around 90 MPa, a yield strength of about 34 MPa, and an elongation of up to 35%. While they may not be the best choice for high-strength applications, Aluminium 1100 forgings shine in areas where formability, corrosion resistance, and surface finish are top priorities, especially in non-structural components.

Aluminum 1100 forging allows custom shapes like rings, discs, bars, flanges, stepped shafts, and intricate profiles, ideal for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications requiring high corrosion resistance and ductility.
Aluminum 1100 is unsuitable for high-temperature forging applications due to its low melting point and poor strength at elevated temperatures, making it better suited for cold working or low-temperature uses.
Aluminum 1100 offers excellent corrosion resistance, high ductility, good thermal conductivity, lightweight properties, and exceptional workability, making it ideal for custom forgings requiring precise shapes and resistance to harsh environments.
You’ll find Aluminium 1100 forgings widely used in applications that require excellent corrosion resistance and easy fabrication. They are often found in chemical equipment, food processing machinery, and architectural trim, thanks to their non-toxic and non-reactive qualities. The alloy’s high conductivity makes it perfect for electrical conductors and heat exchangers. Moreover, Aluminium 1100 forgings are also utilized in decorative and packaging industries, as well as in cookware and lighting fixtures. Their superb ductility and surface finish allow for intricate shapes and detailed forging, making them a versatile choice for many applications.
