Submitted by almetals on Mon, 08/29/2022 - 01:56

1. The density is low. The specific gravity of pure aluminum is 2.71. Under the same volume, the weight of the 1-series aluminum plate is only 35% of that of iron.
2. The 1000 series aluminum sheet can be strengthened, and the strength of the 1 series aluminum sheet can be increased by cold working, up to more than 1 times.
3. Easy to process, 1 series aluminum plate has good plasticity and is more suitable for machining, such as sawing, shearing, milling, boring, planing, turning, etc.
4. Corrosion resistance, the surface of the 1 series aluminum plate without special processing will naturally form a dense aluminum oxide protective film, which is difficult to be destroyed, so the 1 series aluminum plate is made of good atmospheric resistance (including industrial atmosphere, marine atmospheric) corrosion and water corrosion capabilities.
5. No low-temperature brittleness, the strength and plasticity of the 1-series aluminum plate will not decrease or decrease because of the temperature. Below zero, the lower the temperature, the higher the strength and plasticity will be.
6. Good electrical and thermal conductivity. Among metals, aluminum’s electrical and thermal conductivity is second only to gold, silver and copper.
7. Good reflectivity. After polishing, the reflectivity of the surface of the 1-series aluminum plate to light can reach more than 80%. The higher the purity of aluminum, the higher the reflectivity. In addition to visible light, aluminum has good reflectivity to infrared, ultraviolet, electromagnetic waves, thermal radiation, etc.
8. The aluminum content is high. The 1-series aluminum coil belongs to pure aluminum, and its aluminum content reaches more than 99.0%.
