1100-H12 aluminum alloy is one of the alloys in the 1100 series. It belongs to aluminum materials that have undergone strain hardening treatment and is in the H12 temper. The H12 temper aluminum alloy is between the annealed (O temper) and full hard (H18 temper) states. Its strength is higher than that of the annealed state but still retains high ductility and good machinability.
H12 temper aluminum alloy has a relatively low hardness and moderate tensile strength, making it suitable for applications that require certain strength and good workability.

1100 H12 aluminum and 1100-H14 aluminum are both variants of the same material. They have the same alloy composition and many physical properties but differ in mechanical properties due to different processing methods.
| Feature | 1100-H12 Aluminum | 1100-H14 Aluminum |
| Tempering Process | H12: Strain-hardened temper, lower work-hardening degree. | H14: Strain-hardened temper, partial work-hardening. |
| Strength | Lower than H14, more ductile and softer. | Higher than H12, providing a good balance of strength and ductility. |
| Hardness | Lower than H14, suitable for applications needing easier machining or forming. | Higher than H12, but lower than H18. |
| Typical Uses | Suitable for applications requiring easier machining and good formability, such as decorative parts, lightweight parts, and complex-formed parts. | Suitable for applications requiring a balance of strength and ductility, such as automotive parts, structural plates, building components, etc. |
1100 aluminum alloy is one of the purest aluminum alloys, with aluminum as its main component (about 99%), and contains trace amounts of other elements such as silicon, iron, copper, and manganese. It has excellent corrosion resistance, good formability, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity. Due to its high purity, 1100 aluminum also has excellent oxidation resistance.
