1xxx Series Aluminium

Grade 1xxx Series Aluminium Alloys are categorised as commercially pure and unalloyed, with a minimum 99% Aluminium content.

 

As a pure material, aluminium is ductile, easy to shape, easy to draw, and is also a good conductor of electricity and heat. With these characteristics available, Grade 1xxx Series Alloys are used chiefly in the electrical industry, where they are used in both overhead powerlines, when reinforced with carbon fibre, as well as low-voltage underground cables. 

​

Their light weight and easy formation into complex shapes makes them vital to the aeronautical industry, whilst excellent thermal propeties encourage its use in catering foil and food packaging.
