1050 Aluminum Plate Sheet
1050 aluminum plate belongs to the 1xxx series commercial pure aluminum alloy. Its characteristic is that the aluminum content is at least 99.5%, making it an ideal material for applications requiring excellent corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity, and high ductility. However, due to its purity, its strength is only moderate compared to alloy grades.
1050 aluminum plate is a high-purity aluminum alloy known for its outstanding corrosion resistance, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and good workability. Due to these properties, it is commonly used in applications requiring high purity and excellent corrosion resistance.
1050 aluminum plate is one of the products in the pure aluminum plate series. Its chemical composition and mechanical properties are similar to those of the 1060 series. The 1050 alloy is well known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high ductility, and high reflectivity.
As a wrought alloy, 1050 aluminum is not used for casting. Instead, it is typically formed through extrusion or rolling. The production process of 1050 aluminum is relatively simple, and its cost is relatively low, making it one of the most commonly used series in conventional industries.
1050 aluminum is widely used in applications requiring moderate strength and formability, such as chemical equipment, construction components, and electrical conductors. This alloy cannot be heat-treated, but it can be strengthened through cold working.

Advantages of 1050 Aluminum Plate
| Feature | Description |
| Cost-Effective | 1050 aluminum plate is highly cost-effective, with low manufacturing costs and excellent processing performance, allowing for easy forming through both cold and hot working methods. This aluminum plate is suitable for applications requiring high conductivity and thermal conductivity, such as electrical equipment, heat exchange systems, and reflective materials. Its relatively low price and widespread use across multiple industries make it an extremely cost-efficient material choice. |
| High Recyclability | 1050 aluminum plate has extremely high recyclability. Since its chemical composition consists primarily of high-purity aluminum (99.5% aluminum content), the recycling process is simple, allowing for multiple regenerations while maintaining high quality. This property makes it an environmentally friendly material, particularly suitable for industries with high sustainability requirements, such as green buildings, environmental equipment manufacturing, and various aluminum products in the circular economy system. |
| High Anodizing Quality and Reflectivity | 1050 aluminum plate exhibits high anodizing quality and reflectivity. After undergoing anodizing treatment, the surface can form a uniform and dense oxide layer, enhancing both corrosion resistance and aesthetics while improving surface hardness. Additionally, its high reflectivity makes it widely used in the lighting industry, such as in lamp reflectors, solar reflectors, and optical equipment reflectors, effectively increasing light efficiency and reducing energy consumption. |
| Suitable for Lightweight and Corrosion-Resistant Designs | 1050 aluminum plate is well-suited for lightweight and corrosion-resistant designs. With a relatively low density of approximately 2.71 g/cm³ and excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance, it is widely used in lightweight yet durable structural components. For example, in the food, chemical, and medical equipment industries, 1050 aluminum plate is commonly used for manufacturing storage tanks, pipelines, and food processing equipment to ensure material durability and safety while reducing transportation and installation costs. |

How to prevent 1050 aluminum from oxidation?
Although 1050 aluminum coils are corrosion-resistant, when the aluminum coils are placed in water or rain, the surface is easily oxidized, resulting in spots on the surface, which affects the use of customers. Therefore, the storage environment of aluminum coils is very important. Here we give you the following suggestions:
- The storage environment of 1050 aluminum plates should be dry, bright, well-ventilated, and non-corrosive.
- Aluminum coils 1050 should be kept away from leakage in rainy and snowy weather as much as possible.
- Strengthen the management of rolling oil, and control its water content below 0.4%.
- Aluminum coils should be sealed, and an appropriate amount of desiccant should be placed in each coil.
- When transporting from a low-temperature area to a high-temperature and high-humidity area, do not open the sealed packaging of 1050 aluminum coils immediately.
- The humidity of the wooden shaft and wooden board of the packaging box shall not exceed 18%, and the temperature of the packaged color aluminum coil shall not exceed 45°C.
