|
Principal Design Features
|
|
Commercially pure aluminum.
|
|
|
Applications
|
|
Commonly used for decorative domestic (home) items, or architectural trim or moldings.
|
|
|
Machinability
|
|
Readily machined, preferably using carbide tooling. Lathe cutting may be done dry, unless heavy cuts are made in which case oil lubricants may be used. Cutting tools should have large rake angles (top and side), similar to tooling for the cutting or ma
|
|
|
Forming
|
|
This alloy may be readily hot or cold worked by all conventional means, such as spinning, drawing, or forging. It is possible to perform major cold working before a re-anneal is required because of the good ductility of pure aluminum.
|
|
|
Corrosion Resistance
|
|
Good resistance to atmospheric corrosion, and fresh or sea water. Also resistant to corrosion from common food products, common petroleum products and organic acids.
|
|
|
Welding
|
|
Readily welded by commercial techniques such as electric resistance, inert arc, gas welding with inert-gas shielded arc preferred. Filler metal of Aluminum 1100 alloy should be used. If welding AL 1100 to a higher alloyed aluminum alloy, such as 6063

|
|
Heat Treatment
|
|
This is commercially pure aluminum and does not respond to any heat treatment. Cold working will cause hardening of the alloy.
|
|
|
Forging
|
|
The alloy is easily forged at moderate temperatures in the event that cold forming seems to be too severe.
|
|
|
Hot Working
|
|
The alloy can be hot formed, similar to forging, if need be. In most instances cold forming is sufficient because of the good ductility of this pure aluminum.
|
|
|
Cold Working
|
|
This alloy has excellent ductility and as such may be cold worked by spinning, drawing, bending, or stamping. In the event of severe deformation, or repeated cold forming, it may be necessary to anneal the part at 650 F during cold working, or upon compl
|
|
|
Annealing
|
|
Annealing, if required because of severe cold working for example, may be done at 650 F allowing sufficient time at temperature for the part to be uniformly heated throughout. Air cool after annealing.
|
|
|
Aging
|
|
This is commercially pure aluminum without any alloying elements. As such it is not responsive to any age hardening treatment.
|
|
|
Tempering
|
|
This alloy is hardened by cold work only and various tempers, such as H14, refer to the degree of cold reduction of area or extent of strain hardening by cold work.
|
|
|
Hardening
|
|
Hardenable only by cold working. Severe working may necessitate annealing.
|
|
|
Other Comments
|
|
This is commercially pure aluminum and widely used for applications involving good formability such as pots, pans, and architectural decorative items.
