1200 Aluminium Alloy
1200 Aluminium Alloy
1200 aluminium alloy is a non-heat treatable commercially pure aluminium that combines very good atmospheric corrosion resistance and workability. 1200 alloy also features high thermal conductivity and reflectivity although this is not quite as high as 1050.
1200 aluminium alloy is typically used in general fabrication, processing equipment and containers, automobiles, boiler fabrication, kitchenware, pressure vessels, sheet metal work and construction and roofing.
Alloy 1200 is supplied in foil, sheet, plate, bar, rod and wire. Alloy 1200 is also available in drawn tube and solid conductor.
