1050 aluminum coil is an aluminum-based alloy in the “commercially pure” wrought family (1000 or 1xxx series). It has the characteristics of high plasticity, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity. Since 1050 aluminum alloy has a higher thermal conductivity than other alloys. It has low mechanical strength compared to more significantly alloyed metals. It can be strengthened by cold working, but not by heat treatment. The production process is relatively simple and the price is relatively cheap. It is the most commonly used series in the conventional industry.

Applications
1050 aluminum coils are often used in daily necessities, lighting fixtures, reflectors, decorations, chemical industrial containers, heat sinks, signs, electronics, lamps, nameplates, electrical appliances, stampings, and other products. In some cases where high corrosion resistance and formability are required, but the strength is not high, chemical equipment is a typical use.
