Key Characteristics of 1050 Aluminum Plate
Performance Characteristics of 1050 Aluminum Plate
| Property | Performance |
|---|---|
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent |
| Anodizing | Poor |
| Formability | Excellent |
| Machinability | Poor |
| Weldability | Excellent |
| Brazability | Excellent |
The high aluminum purity gives 1050 aluminum plate outstanding resistance to corrosion and exceptional cold-forming capability, though its machinability is limited due to its softness.
Typical Applications of 1050 Aluminum Plate
1050 aluminum plate is commonly used in applications where moderate strength is sufficient and formability is critical, including:
- General sheet metal fabrication
- Lightly stressed panels
- Architectural flashings
- Nameplates and signage
- Lamp reflectors and polished trim
- Cable sheathing
- Equipment and containers for food and chemical industries
Note: Special grades are available for deep drawing, low earing, spinning, and anodizing. General-purpose grades should not be used for these specialized applications.

Mechanical Properties by Temper and Thickness
| Temper | Thickness (mm) | UTS (MPa) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Elongation (%) | Min. Bend Radius |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| O | 0.20 – 0.50 | 65–95 | ≥ 20 | ≥ 20 | 0t |
| O | 0.50 – 1.50 | 65–95 | ≥ 20 | ≥ 22 | 0t |
| O | 1.50 – 3.00 | 65–95 | ≥ 20 | ≥ 26 | 0t |
| O | 3.00 – 6.00 | 65–95 | ≥ 20 | ≥ 29 | 0.5t |
| H12 | 0.20 – 0.50 | 85–125 | ≥ 65 | ≥ 2 | 0.5t |
| H12 | 0.50 – 1.50 | 85–125 | ≥ 65 | ≥ 4 | 0.5t |
| H14 | 0.20 – 0.50 | 105–145 | ≥ 85 | ≥ 2 | 1.0t |
| H16 | 0.20 – 0.50 | 120–160 | ≥ 100 | ≥ 1 | - |
| H18 | 0.20 – 0.50 | ≥ 135 | ≥ 120 | ≥ 1 | - |
Values vary depending on temper and thickness.
Bend Radius Recommendations for 1050 Aluminum Plate
1050 aluminum plate supports tight bending radii in softer tempers. Minimum recommended bend radii are specified for 90-degree cold bends, ensuring excellent forming performance in fabrication processes.
Welding Performance of 1050 Aluminum Plate
1050 aluminum plate can be readily welded using TIG and MIG welding processes.
Recommended Filler Metals
4043: Higher weld strength
1050: Better color match after anodizing
Gas welding and resistance welding are also possible; however, the resulting joints are generally less strong and less corrosion-resistant than inert-gas welds. Gas welding may also cause excessive heat distortion, particularly in thin gauges.
All welding or brazing flux residues must be completely removed using hot water cleaning after welding.
