Alloy basis

It contains a small copper addition compared with very high-purity 1xxx grades and is strengthened mainly by cold work.

Typical applications

Chemical handling equipment, heat exchangers, cookware, decorative sheet, ducting and general fabrication.

Common tempers / conditions

Common tempers include O, H12, H14 and H18.

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.
