Common Materials

1100 ALUMINUM SHEET
This grade is commercially pure aluminum. It is soft and ductile and has excellent workability. It is ideal for applications involving intricate forming because it work-hardens more slowly than other alloys. It is the most weldable of aluminum alloys, by any method. It is not heat treatable.

It has the highest thermal conductivity of any aluminum alloy, and its electrical conductivity is second only to the electrical conductor grade.
