Chemical Composition of 1050 Aluminum Sheet
| Element | Typical % | Role in Alloy |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum (Al) | ≥ 99.5% | Primary component; ensures high ductility and corrosion resistance |
| Iron (Fe) | 0 – 0.40 | Slightly increases strength; minimal effect on corrosion |
| Silicon (Si) | 0 – 0.25 | Improves casting fluidity; minor impact on corrosion |
| Copper (Cu) | 0 – 0.05 | Enhances strength if controlled; excessive reduces corrosion resistance |
| Manganese (Mn) | 0 – 0.05 | Grain refinement; marginal strength increase |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 0 – 0.05 | Minimal effect; higher in other alloys |
| Titanium (Ti) | 0 – 0.05 | Grain refiner during casting |
| Zinc (Zn) | 0 – 0.07 | Minor effect on strength and corrosion |
The low concentration of alloying elements preserves GNEE 1050 aluminum sheet's purity, maximizing corrosion resistance and conductivity.
