What is a 1050 grade aluminum foil? The aluminum alloy number in the 1xxx series indicates that 1050 is one of the purest alloys for commercial use. Aluminum foil 1050 has an aluminum content of 99.5%. 1050 foil is the most conductive alloy among similar alloys. 1050 aluminum foil has corrosion resistance, light weight, thermal conductivity and smooth surface quality. 1050 aluminum foil is a key component raw material for various industrial applications such as transformer windings and food packaging.
1050 grade aluminum foil is an alloy with a higher content of 1xxx series aluminum foil, with a pure aluminum content of up to 99.5%. The following table shows the detailed elemental composition of 1050 aluminum foil.
What are the applications of aluminum foil?
1050 aluminum foil has the characteristics of non-toxic, odorless and pollution-free, so it can be widely used in the field of food packaging, such as making aluminum foil lunch boxes, aluminum foil bags, etc. Aluminum foil 1050 can effectively isolate air, moisture and light to maintain the freshness and taste of food.
Aluminum foil is a good conductor and is commonly used as a conductive material for batteries. In the electronics industry, 1050 aluminum foil is used as an electrode material for electrolytic capacitors due to its excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. This helps to improve the performance and service life of capacitors.
Aluminum foil has good thermal insulation performance and can be used to manufacture HVAC systems, gas pipelines and cooling water pipelines.
Density
Density is the basic property of aluminum alloy. The density of 1050 aluminum foil is about 2.71 g/cm³, which is a lightweight metal material and is easy to transport and process.
Thermal conductivity
The thermal conductivity of aluminum foil is high, about 230~237 W/(m·K), which is suitable for application scenarios requiring good heat dissipation performance.
Conductivity
Aluminum 1050 foil has a conductivity of about 58.0% IACS (International Electrotechnical Commission conductivity standard), which is suitable for applications such as electrical wires.
Melting point
1050 aluminum foil has a high purity (aluminum content reaches 99.5%), so its aluminum melting point is relatively stable, about 660℃. The low melting point makes 1050 aluminum foil have advantages in application scenarios that require lower melting temperatures, such as hot pressing of aluminum-plastic composite materials and the production of aluminum substrates. The lower the melting point, the simpler the processing.
High plasticity
1050 aluminum foil has a high elongation, usually between 25% and 35%, which shows that al 1050 foil has good plasticity and is easy to process into structural parts of various shapes and sizes.
Lower strength
Aluminum foil 1050 has high plasticity, but the tensile strength and yield strength of 1050 aluminum foil are relatively low. The tensile strength is generally between 60 MPa95 MPa, and the yield strength is between 15 MPa60 MPa. Therefore, aluminum foil 1050 is not suitable for application scenarios that require high-strength support.
Lower hardness
Aluminum foil 1050 has high purity and relatively low hardness, usually between 16~30HB, which to a certain extent limits its use in applications that require high-hardness materials.
