1100 h14 aluminum sheet
1100 H14 aluminum sheet is the product form of 1100 aluminum alloy in the H14 temper. It is processed through strain hardening and is typically used in applications that require a balance of strength and machinability.
1100-H14 aluminum is a commercially pure aluminum alloy with an aluminum content of at least 99%. "H14" indicates that the material has undergone strain hardening treatment, with strength between annealed (O) and fully hardened (H18) tempers.
- 1100: Represents commercially pure aluminum with an aluminum content of ≥99.0%. It belongs to the 1xxx series of non-heat-treatable alloys, known for its high purity characteristics.
- H14: Indicates the material has been strain-hardened to a half-hard temper through cold working, without subsequent annealing. It offers moderate strength and balanced ductility.
1100 H14 aluminum sheet is a commercially pure aluminum alloy, known for its excellent formability, corrosion resistance, and versatility.
1100 H14 aluminum sheet alloy composition
1100 aluminum alloy is primarily composed of pure aluminum (with an aluminum content not lower than 99%), and contains trace amounts of copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, silicon, and other elements. Due to its high purity, 1100 aluminum has excellent corrosion resistance and good electrical conductivity.

What does H14 mean in aluminum?
Hardness condition (H14): 1100 aluminum alloy reaches the H14 temper after partial strain hardening treatment. H14 indicates that the aluminum alloy has undergone moderate cold working (approximately 50% elongation), which increases its strength, but it has not reached the full hard condition (H18). Therefore, its strength is higher than the annealed (O) state, while still maintaining a certain level of ductility and machinability.
1100 H14 aluminum sheet properties
- Strength: The strength of 1100-H14 aluminum is moderate, typically falling between the annealed (O) and full hard (H18) states. Its yield strength is about 130 MPa, and its tensile strength is approximately 200 MPa, making it suitable for applications requiring moderate strength.
- Corrosion resistance: Due to the high purity of 1100 aluminum alloy, it has excellent corrosion resistance, especially in corrosive environments such as moisture, chemicals, and marine climates.
- Machinability: Although the strength of 1100-H14 aluminum alloy is relatively high, it still retains good machinability. This makes it suitable for further processing through conventional methods such as cutting, bending, and forming.
- Weldability: Due to its low alloy content, 1100 aluminum alloy has good weldability, making it commonly used in welding and joining applications.
- Surface treatment: The surface of 1100-H14 aluminum alloy can be treated through anodizing, painting, or spraying to enhance its appearance, corrosion resistance, or other functional properties.

What is the Difference Between 1100-H14 and H18 Aluminum?
The main differences between 1100-H14 and 1100-H18 aluminum grades lie in their mechanical properties, processing methods, and resulting performance.
- 1100-H14 aluminum strikes a good balance between strength and formability, making it suitable for applications that require moderate strength and ease of processing.
- 1100-H18 offers higher strength and hardness but has reduced ductility and formability. The choice between the two depends on the specific requirements of the application, including the need for strength versus ease of processing.
| Characteristics | 1100-H14 Aluminum | 1100-H18 Aluminum |
| Temper | Strain-hardened temper. Partially hardened through cold working, but not fully hardened. | Fully hardened temper. Undergoes higher levels of strain hardening. |
| Hardness | Medium hardness, between fully annealed (O condition) and fully hardened (H18). | Higher hardness, stronger, but with reduced formability. |
| Strength | Moderate tensile strength, suitable for applications requiring good formability and moderate strength. | High tensile strength, better suited for applications requiring higher strength. |
| Ductility | Good ductility, easy to form and process. | Lower ductility, increased hardness reduces flexibility and makes it more prone to cracking. |
| Formability | Excellent formability, suitable for bending, stamping, and deep drawing processes. | Reduced formability, processing is more challenging. |
| Common Applications | Automotive interiors, building panels, kitchenware, and consumer products where a balance of strength and ease of processing is needed. | Structural components, heavy-duty applications, and other situations requiring higher strength. |
Processing Characteristics of 1100 H14 Aluminum Sheet
- Formability: Can be processed by cold rolling, stamping, bending, etc., but attention should be paid to work hardening tendencies.
- Weldability: Good, compatible with conventional welding methods
- Surface Treatment: Anodizing improves corrosion resistance and aesthetics
It should be noted that although 1100-H14 aluminum has excellent formability and corrosion resistance, its strength is relatively low compared to other aluminum alloys. Therefore, it is best suited for applications where formability and corrosion resistance are prioritized over high strength.
