What Is a 1050A Aluminum Plate?
1050A aluminum plate is a wrought aluminum alloy belonging to the 1xxx series, with an aluminum content of not less than 99.5%. As a commercially pure aluminum grade, it contains no intentional alloying elements, giving it outstanding ductility, high electrical and thermal conductivity, and excellent corrosion resistance.
Due to its low mechanical strength but superior plasticity, 1050A aluminum plate is widely used in applications that require easy forming, deep drawing, or high surface reflectivity rather than load-bearing strength.
1050A Aluminum Plate Chemical Composition
The chemical composition of 1050A aluminum plate is strictly controlled according to EN 573-3, ensuring high purity and stable performance.
Chemical Composition of 1050A Aluminum Plate (EN 573-3)
| Element | Maximum Content (%) |
|---|---|
| Aluminum (Al) | ≥ 99.5 |
| Iron (Fe) | ≤ 0.40 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.25 |
| Copper (Cu) | ≤ 0.05 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 0.05 |
| Zinc (Zn) | ≤ 0.05 |
| Titanium (Ti) | ≤ 0.03 |
This high aluminum content gives 1050A aluminum plate its excellent resistance to corrosion and outstanding electrical conductivity.
