Typical 1050 Aluminum Sheet Plate: Tempers, Applications, and Pricing Guide
When selecting a versatile and cost-effective aluminum material, 1050 aluminum sheet plate remains a top choice across many industries. With its high purity, excellent corrosion resistance, and outstanding formability, GNEE supplies a full range of 1050 aluminum plate solutions tailored to diverse fabrication and performance requirements. Reach out today to explore the right temper and specification for your project.
Overview of 1050 Aluminum Sheet Plate
1050 aluminum sheet plate is part of the 1000-series commercially pure aluminum alloys, containing a minimum of 99.5% aluminum. This high purity delivers exceptional corrosion resistance, high ductility, and a naturally reflective surface finish.
The alloy is non-heat-treatable; its mechanical properties are achieved through cold working and controlled annealing. By selecting different tempers, manufacturers can balance strength, formability, and surface performance for specific applications.
Common Tempers of 1050 Aluminum Sheet Plate
Different tempers of 1050 aluminum plate are designed for different processing and end-use requirements.
| Temper | Description | Typical Use Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| 1050A H24 aluminum plate | Strain-hardened and partially annealed | Excellent ductility for extensive forming |
| 1050 H18 aluminum plate | Fully work-hardened | High strength, limited formability |
| 1050 H14 aluminum plate | Half-hard temper | Balanced strength and ductility |
| 1050 O aluminum plate | Fully annealed | Maximum ductility, lowest strength |
| 1050 H12 aluminum plate | Quarter-hard temper | General-purpose forming |
| 1050 H16 aluminum plate | Higher hardness than H14 | Decorative and reflective uses |
Among these, 1050 H14 aluminum sheet plate is one of the most widely used due to its excellent workability and corrosion resistance.
