1: Brief Introduction Of 1050 Aluminium/Aluminum Round Bar
1050 aluminium alloy is an aluminium-based alloy in the "commercially pure" wrought family (1000 or 1xxx series). As a
wrought alloy, it is not used in castings. Instead, it is usually formed by extrusion or rolling. It is commonly used in the
electrical and chemical industries, on account of having high electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and workability.
1050 alloy is also sometimes used for the manufacture of heat sinks, since it 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.
Welding:
When welding Aluminium alloy 1050 to itself or an alloy from the same subgroup the recommended filler wire is 1100.
For welding to alloys 5083 and 5086 or alloys from the 7XXX series, the recommended wire is 5356. For other alloys
use 4043 filler wire.
The most common temper for 1050 aluminium is:
H14 - work hardened by rolling to half hard, not annealed after rolling
Applications of Aluminium Alloy 1050:
Chemical process plant equipment
Food industry containers
Pyrotechnic powder
Architectural flashings
Lamp reflectors
Cable sheathing,vessels,and appliances
Chemical and pharmaceutical industries
Architecture and paneling
2: Chemical Composition
The aluminum industry has created a system using a four-digit numerical designation to identify wrought aluminum
alloys. The first digit indicates the major alloying element. The second digit indicates whether there was a modification
in the basic alloy. The third and fourth digit indicates the specific alloy. The following represent the various groups:
| 1XXX |
Aluminum 99% or greater |
| 2XXX |
Copper - major alloying element |
| 3XXX |
Manganese - major alloying element |
| 5XXX |
Magnesium - major alloying element |
| 6XXX |
Magnesium and silicon - major alloying elements |
| 7XXX |
Zinc -major alloying element |
