Composition & Structure

Composition:Al-99.0Al-0.12Cu
Microstructure:Alpha aluminum (Single-phase FCC aluminum; no precipitation phases in annealed condition.)

Description

Commercially pure aluminum with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, high corrosion resistance, and outstanding workability. Commonly used in electrical components, food processing equipment, heat exchangers, chemical vessels, and general fabrication where formability is important.

Special Notes

Non–heat-treatable alloy (strengthened only by cold work). Excellent for deep drawing, spinning, forming, and welding. Very high reflectivity when polished. Ideal for applications requiring purity and corrosion resistance.
