Aluminium 1200 H14 Sheets & Plates
Aluminium 1200 H14 Sheets & Plates
Aluminium 1xxx series possesses 99% (min) purity. Aluminium / Aluminum 1200 alloy is a wrought alloy with high thermal conductivity and reflectivity, and good corrosion resistance.
Commercial aluminium alloy grade 1200 has high corrosion resistance with slightly higher strength than 1050a. The alloy also boasts high thermal conductivity and reflectivity although this is not quite as high as 1050.
The alloy has a 99% minimum requirement for aluminium content and yet is still classed as a non-heat treatable commercially pure aluminium. Grade 1200 has been largely replaced by grade 1050a.
Aluminum Alloy 1200 is a very good atmospheric corrosion resistance and workability. Aluminium Alloy 1200 has a high thermal conductivity and reflectivity but lower than for 1050A, very good weldability which is slightly higher strength than 1050A.

Key features:
• High thermal conductivity
• Very good weldability
• Very good atmospheric corrosion resistance
• Easily joined
• High anodising capability
Fabrication :
Aluminium / aluminum 1200 alloy is readily weldable by MIG and TIG methods. The commonly used filler metals are aluminium / aluminum 1050 and 4043 alloys. Inert gas welding is more suitable than gas or resistance welding as the resultant product is stronger and more corrosion resistant. This alloy has very good workability.
