1000 series pure aluminum sheet plate is the series with the highest aluminum content of all aluminum sheet series, with a purity of 99.00% or more. The main characteristic of 1000 series pure aluminum sheets is that they are composed of almost pure aluminum, with a very small amount of impurities. Therefore, they usually have excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, but relatively low strength, and can not be strengthened by heat treatment. 1000 series pure aluminum plate because of its good processing performance, low cost, in the building decoration, electrical lighting, chemical equipment, electronic devices and other fields have a wide range of applications!
1000 series pure aluminum sheet mainly includes the following grades:
- 1050: Aluminum content of at least 99.5%.
- 1060: Aluminum content of at least 99.6%, is one of the more commonly used grades, with good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
- 1070: Aluminum content of at least 99.7%.
- 1100: With an aluminum content of at least 99.0%, it has good formability and weldability, but lower strength.
Other less common grades such as 1020, 1035, 1040, 1045, 1080, 1085, 1090, 1098, 1110, 1120, 1135, 1145, 1150, 1170, 1175, 1180, 1185, 1188, 1190, 1193, 1199, 1200, 1230, 1235, 1260, 1275, 1285, 1345, 1350, 1370, etc.
Product characteristics of pure aluminum sheet are:
- Small density: the density of pure aluminum is 2.71g/cm³, under the same body type, the total weight of 1 series aluminum plate is only 35% of iron.
- Easy to process: 1000 series pure aluminum plate plasticity is good, especially suitable for machining manufacturing, such as sawing, shearing, milling, boring, planing, turning, etc..
- Corrosion resistance: without special production and processing of 1000 series aluminum sheet surface will form a layer of high-density aluminum oxide protective film, difficult to destroy. Therefore, 1000 series pure aluminum plate has good resistance to atmospheric (including industrial production atmosphere and deep sea atmosphere) leaching and water corrosion ability.
- No low-temperature brittleness: as the temperature decreases, the compressive strength and plasticity of 1000 series aluminum sheet will not decrease.
- Good electrical conductivity and heat transfer: 1000 series aluminum sheet has high quality electrical conductivity and heat transfer properties.
- High Reflectivity: After grinding and polishing, the refractive index of light on the surface of 1000 series pure aluminum plate can reach more than 80%. The higher the purity of aluminum, the higher the transmittance. In addition to visible light, aluminum also has excellent reflective properties for infrared, ultraviolet, radio waves and radiant heat.
- Non-magnetic: Aluminum is not magnetic and does not produce sparks due to friction or impact.
- Good sound absorption: aluminum can absorb and isolate sound very well.
Second, the main use
- Chemical machinery and equipment: 1000 series pure aluminum plate is commonly used in manufacturing chemical machinery and equipment because of its corrosion resistance.
- Inland waterway ship machinery and equipment: due to its light weight and corrosion resistance, 1000 series pure aluminium sheet is also commonly used in the manufacture of inland waterway ships.
- Container manufacturing: such as wine tanks, towerless tanks, tea stoves, etc., 1000 series of pure aluminum sheet for its non-toxic, corrosion-resistant properties and is widely used.
- Conductive materials: 1000 series pure aluminum plate has high-quality conductive properties, so it is also commonly used in the manufacture of conductive materials.
- Instrumentation equipment: In the manufacture of instrumentation equipment, pure aluminum sheet is also used for its light weight and corrosion resistance.
- Architectural field: 1000 series pure aluminum sheet is also commonly used in building appearance, interior decoration (such as ceilings, walls, etc.), furniture, cabinets, elevators, signs, nameplates, bags and other fields.
- Automobile manufacturing: 1000 series pure aluminum plate is also used in the manufacture of automobile internal and external decorative parts.
In addition, 1000 series pure aluminum sheet are also widely used in packaging, food, air conditioning, refrigerators, solar energy, machinery manufacturing, cosmetic packaging and other electrical appliances and machinery manufacturing industries, as well as in the field of anticorrosion and thermal insulation in power plants, chemical and petrochemical plants and other industries.
