1050A
Description
Aluminum alloy 1050A, a popular grade of aluminum alloy, is considered commercially pure aluminum with non-heat treatable. It has moderate strength, excellent corrosion resistance, high ductility and highly reflective finish. These properties combined with the ability to be formed easily via bending or spinning and excellent anodising and joining properties are behind its popularity in the marketplace. It can be used in chemical industry, food industry, architectural industry, etc. In addition, the excellent corrosion resistance of 1050A means it can be utilised in marine environments.
