Alloy basis

It is commercially pure aluminum with very low alloy content and is generally non-heat-treatable.

Typical applications

Chemical equipment, reflectors, sheet metal, heat exchangers, food-related equipment and electrical applications.

Common tempers / conditions

Often supplied in O, H12, H14, H18 and related strain-hardened tempers.

Engineering selection notes

Confirm the exact alloy designation, temper, product form, thickness/diameter, mechanical properties, corrosion environment, joining process, surface treatment and certification. Properties can vary substantially by temper and product form.

QA/QC

For critical service, verify heat/lot traceability, mill certificate, chemical composition, tensile properties, temper, dimensional tolerances and any required NDT or third-party inspection.

Element Folio engineering reference. Verify the latest governing standard and producer data before design or procurement.
