1100 Aluminium Tubes

1100 Aluminium Tubes – Technical Details and Applications

The 1100 aluminium alloy is highly pure (99%) and is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, workability, and weldability, making it ideal for a range of industrial uses. These tubes are widely used in applications like hydraulic pipelines, fuel tanks, heat exchangers, and structural components in the aerospace sector. For example, 1100 aluminium tubes are employed in aircraft hydraulic systems due to their ability to withstand low temperatures and resist corrosion. In comparison with other grades like 6061, the 1100 grade is preferred for its cost-effectiveness and formability in environments requiring low to moderate strength.

Key Features

• Corrosion Resistance: Exceptional resistance to corrosion in atmospheric conditions and chemical environments.
• High Ductility: Offers excellent formability for various manufacturing processes such as welding and cold working.
• Lightweight: The low density of 1100 aluminium makes it an ideal choice for lightweight applications.
• Cost-Effective: A budget-friendly solution for industries requiring aluminium with moderate strength and high resistance.
• Non-Heat Treatable: Can be strengthened through cold working.
