Description
Features
High Aluminum Purity
- Aluminum content ≥ 99.6%.
- Very low impurity levels, ensuring stable and consistent performance.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
- Naturally forms a dense oxide film.
- Performs well in atmospheric, humid, and mildly corrosive environments.
- Suitable for outdoor and chemical-adjacent applications.
Outstanding Electrical & Thermal Conductivity
- Electrical conductivity of approximately 61–62% IACS.
- High thermal conductivity, ideal for heat transfer and dissipation applications.
Superior Formability
- Extremely soft and ductile, especially in O temper.
- Easy to bend, deep-draw, stamp, roll, and spin.
- Suitable for complex shapes and thin-gauge processing.
Good Surface Quality
- Smooth, uniform surface.
- Well suited for anodizing, coating, laminating, and polishing.
- Provides an excellent base material for decorative and functional finishes.
Low Density & Lightweight
- Density about 2.71 g/cm³.
- Helps reduce overall system weight while maintaining durability.
Weldability & Processability
- Excellent compatibility with TIG, MIG, and resistance welding.
- Easy to cut, slit, and process into sheets, coils, or strips.
Limitations
- Low mechanical strength compared with alloyed aluminum grades
- Not recommended for high-load or structural applications without reinforcement
