1050 alloy aluminium sheet/plate brief introduction:

Aluminium alloy 1050 is a popular grade of aluminium for general sheet metal work where moderate strength is required.

Aluminium alloy 1050 is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high ductility and highly reflective finish.

 

Supplied From:

• Plain Plate/sheet
• Plain Coil

 
Application:

Aluminium alloy 1050 is typically used for:

· Chemical process plant equipment

· Food industry containers

· Pyrotechnic powder

· Architectural flashings

· Lamp reflectors

· Cable sheathing

 

Alloy Designations

Aluminium alloy 1050 also corresponds to the following designations:

· AA1050A

· S1B

· A91050
Fabrication of Aluminium Alloy 1050
Welding

When welding Aluminium alloy 1050 to itself or an alloy from the same subgroup the recommended filler wire is 1100. For welding to alloys 5083 and 5086 or alloys from the 7XXX series, the recommended wire is 5356. For other alloys use 4043 filler wire.
